How to Perform Roof Inspections Book

The goal of this book is to teach inspectors how to perform a visual inspection of a roof system. It covers common roof terms, gutters and drainage, framing and trim, roof coverings, roof ashing, roof ventilation, and a brief section on inspecting chimneys. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to inspect different types of residential roofs, identify the systems and components of roof systems, understand how the components of a roof system function and perform, and describe to clients the defects observed.

This guide also serves as a handy on-the-job reference manual for home inspectors, as well as a study aid for InterNACHI’s "How to Perform Roof Inspections" online course and exam.
