Selling a home is already a high-stakes process—add a roof issue to the mix, and it can stall or even sabotage your sale. The roof is one of the most scrutinized parts of any home inspection and often becomes a sticking point for buyers.
At Superior One Roofing, we help sellers and real estate agents avoid surprises and protect deal value with a free, no-pressure pre-listing roof inspection. Think of it as risk mitigation for your closing table.
Why a Roof Inspection Before Listing Matters
Most buyers today will pay for a full home inspection—and most lenders will require it. If that inspection reveals roof problems, it can lead to:
-
Delayed closings
-
Price negotiations or concessions
-
Repair demands and contractor delays
-
Buyers walking away altogether
In contrast, a clean bill of health for your roof—or a professionally documented repair—builds trust and protects your asking price. Even better? If storm damage is found, your homeowner’s insurance might cover the repair or full replacement before you list.
🏡 A Good Roof Builds Confidence & Value
-
A new roof can recover 100% or more of its cost at resale (NAR 2022 Remodeling Impact Report).
-
Homes with inspected or recently replaced roofs spend less time on the market and attract stronger offers.
-
Over 30% of buyers consider roof condition a key factor when choosing a home (NAHB study).
Bottom line: When your roof is in great shape—and you can prove it—it becomes a feature, not a flaw.
🧰 What’s Included in a Pre-Listing Roof Inspection
At Superior One Roofing, our inspections follow a proven process designed to support both homeowners and real estate professionals:
✔️ Exterior Review
We check shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, and drainage for damage, wear, or improper installation.
✔️ Interior Scan (if accessible)
We inspect attic spaces for leaks, insulation issues, or moisture-related problems.
✔️ Documentation
We provide photos and a simple, agent-friendly report that can be added to the MLS or seller disclosure.
✔️ Optional Insurance Consultation
If we find signs of storm damage, we’ll help you file a claim and even meet your adjuster on-site.
Pro Tip: Many sellers don’t realize wind or hail damage from a past storm might still be covered by insurance—even if it’s never leaked.
