At Exteriors Plus, we understand that your home is one of your most valuable assets, and keeping it in top condition is essential for both comfort and safety. To help you maintain your property, we provide a comprehensive property inspection checklist that ensures every part of your home is thoroughly evaluated. Here’s an easy-to-understand breakdown of what’s included in our inspection process:

Roof Inspection

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Our detailed roof inspection covers:

  • Roof Type and Layers: Identifying your roof’s construction helps us assess its durability and longevity.

  • Ice & Water Shield: We check for effective weatherproofing to protect your home from water damage.

  • Valley and Overhang Specifications: Ensuring these crucial parts of the roof are properly installed to prevent water runoff and leaks.

  • Chimney Flashing: We assess if your chimney flashing needs repair or replacement to prevent water entry.

Siding and Exterior

Your home’s exterior provides both protection and curb appeal. We carefully inspect:

  • Siding Material and House Wrap: This ensures your siding is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functioning correctly to prevent moisture damage.

  • Overhangs and Special Features: We check if your roof overhangs are oversized or if any special features need attention.

Windows and Doors

Windows and doors contribute to energy efficiency and security. Our inspection ensures:

  • Window Screens: We check all window screens for damage or wear.

  • Shutters and Ventilation: Ensuring everything from shutters to vents is properly installed and functioning to improve your home’s ventilation.

Interior Inspection

Inside your home, we make sure everything is safe and in good condition:

  • Drywall and Paint: We assess your interior walls for damage, wear, or water stains.

  • Ceiling Heights: We ensure all interior spaces are up to standard for comfort and accessibility.

Gutters and Drainage

Proper drainage is crucial to protecting your foundation and yard:

  • Gutter Length and Type: We inspect the size, type, and color of your gutters to ensure they’re functioning properly.

  • Leaf-Free and Screens: We evaluate whether you need leaf-free gutters or gutter screens to reduce maintenance.

Additional Inspections

We leave no stone unturned. Our checklist includes:

  • Furnace Caps and Electrical Components: Ensuring proper functioning of furnace caps and checking electrical blocks.

  • Exterior Details: This includes inspecting fences, decks, mailboxes, and other outdoor features.

  • Damages or Access Issues: Any existing interior damage, leaks, or areas that may present challenges for future repairs or maintenance are noted.
