Roof & Foundation Inspections in Northeast Ohio & Western Pennsylvania

The roof and foundation are two of the most expensive systems in a home to repair. A+ Home Inspections evaluates both thoroughly so you know exactly what you're working with before you buy, sell, or maintain a property.

What Is a Roof & Foundation Inspection?

A roof and foundation inspection is a focused evaluation of two of the most critical structural systems in a home. Our inspectors assess the foundation, framing, and load-bearing walls for signs of movement, settling, or deterioration, along with the roofing system for damage, wear, or improper installation.

Because problems in either system can be expensive to repair and aren't always obvious from the surface, a thorough visual evaluation gives you a clear understanding of the home's condition before you commit to a purchase or address a maintenance concern.

Why This Inspection Matters

Foundation and roof issues are among the most costly repairs a homeowner can face, and both can develop gradually before becoming visible.

Catching signs of movement, settling, or roof deterioration early can mean the difference between a minor repair and a major, expensive project.

Buying a Home

A roof and foundation inspection gives you a clear picture of two of the most expensive systems in the home, and the leverage to negotiate repairs or price adjustments before closing.

Structural Movement

Cracks in foundation walls, uneven floors, or sticking doors and windows can all be signs of settling or structural movement that warrant a closer look.

Roof Condition

Worn shingles, damaged flashing, and clogged gutters are common issues that, if left unaddressed, can lead to leaks and interior water damage.

Basement & Drainage

Water intrusion, efflorescence, and drainage issues in the basement can point to bigger structural or moisture problems above or below grade.

What to Expect

A+ Home Inspections evaluates both systems thoroughly, whether the inspection is scheduled alongside a full home inspection or on its own.
