Tile Does Not Tell the Whole Story
Many Southern Nevada homes use tile roofs.
Buyers sometimes hear "Tile lasts forever."
Even durable tile does not mean every component beneath or around it lasts forever.
Watch For
- broken or missing tiles;
- leaks;
- staining;
- flashing issues;
- underlayment concerns;
- prior repair.
Why a Roof Matters Beyond Repair Cost
Roof condition may affect insurance, lender concerns, and buyer negotiations.
A roof issue is not just a repair line item; it can change who will cover and finance the property.
Don't Demand a New Roof Because It's Old
Condition matters.
Get information first.
An older roof in good condition is a very different situation from an older roof with active problems.
Important
HELP FIRST: if the general inspection raises roof concerns, get a qualified roof evaluation to understand the problem and the likely cost before you negotiate. A roof specialist or qualified inspector handles roof evaluation; Lisa is not an inspector or roofer.
