**Homeowner To-Do List Following 4 Point Roof Inspection**

✍🏼If any of the following items are noticed during your roof inspection, they should be reviewed by a Licensed Roofing Contractor to ensure the integrity and safety of your roof:

1. **Visible Condition of the Roof Covering**:
- Check for missing, cracked, or curling shingles.
- Look for signs of significant wear and tear or any visible damage.

2. **Visible Flashings**:
- Inspect the flashings around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations for any signs of damage or wear.

3. **Roof Drainage and Gutter System**:
- Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear of debris and functioning properly.
- Look for signs of water pooling or improper drainage.

4. **Overhanging Tree Branches**:
- Identify any tree branches that overhang the roof and may cause damage.
- Trim branches to prevent them from falling on the roof or causing excessive shade.

5. **Chimney System**:
- Check the condition of the chimney cap and mortar joints.
- Look for signs of wear or damage to the chimney structure.

6. **Roof Penetrations and Flashings**:
- Examine roof vents, skylights, and other penetrations for proper sealing and flashing.
- Identify any gaps or leaks around these areas.

7. **Underlying Structure**:
- Report any visible deficiencies in the underlying roof structure, such as swayback ridge beams.
- Check for signs of structural issues that may affect roof stability.

8. **Inspection Methods**:
- Note the methods used for the roof inspection (e.g., from the eaves with a ladder, or from the ground with binoculars).

9. **Roofing Trim**:
- Inspect rake boards, soffits, and fascia boards for signs of damage or rot.
- Ensure all trim is securely attached and in good condition.

10. **Attic Inspection**:
- Check accessible areas of the attic for signs of sheathing problems or moisture intrusion.
- Look for damaged structural components, such as split rafters or signs of leaks.
