Buying a Berkeley Home With a Flat Roof? What to Check
A few things worth understanding before you close, especially on older homes with additions.
Ask when the roof (and any flat-roofed additions specifically) was last replaced or repaired, and whether there’s any documentation. Flat-roofed additions on older homes are exactly the spot where a wrong-material installation from decades ago can still be lurking, undiscovered until it finally leaks.
If your general home inspector flags roof age or condition, a follow-up assessment from someone who specifically works on flat roofs can give you a clearer picture before you’re locked into the purchase.
