Seattle roof inspections are valuable in three specific situations: before buying a home, after a major storm, and during the third-party home insurance renewal process. Annual inspections matter more in Seattle than in drier climates because biological growth and moisture damage progress quickly here. A certified inspector delivers a written report with photos and condition ratings.
