Somehow I got a job interview for a roofing inspector so this was helpful seeing what the job entails.

As a new student I appreciate your thorough explanation!

I noticed that Julie said the north side is the usual side for finding hail damage. That is location dependent mostly on how storms usually travel through your area. My region in Michigan is the opposite, hail damage is usually far more apparent on all slopes but the north slope.

Is that heater exhaust vent okay being so close to that second roof edge? Maybe its the camera angle but most vents on that roof look very low. Especially if this area gets any snow.

Thanks Julie, good video! How did that cat get up there!! Lol

[carterbeck]

Another great video. Quick and thorough!

Thanks Julie. I wish I could see some of your written recommendations here in the comments. As you know the wording in the inspection report is very critical. Anyway, I really learned from you and reviewed this video several times.

3:14 It is stated that ventilation looks adequate. Is she using the rule 1:150 rule found in Internachi training materials? From the video I'm estimating 1800 sqft of attic space and only 4 steel roof vents at 38 in^2 each. A roof this size needs 864 in^2 of venting.

Very good video! Thank you Julie. By the way what is your ladder?

[peacesomers]

I wanna do this I feel like I can maximize the homeowners buying potential when it comes to better roofing

[berthull]

4:55 What is a smoke arrestor? Don't you want the smoke to be able to exit the chimney flue?

[GoNuckingFuts]

You could see that cat at 3:00. I wasn't just seeing things.

I've been roofing for years more than 25. If someone shows up with a metel ladder, it's always a red flag. She didn't mention some of that roof shouldn't even have shingles on it (to flat) should have flat material on. It don't even look like a 3/12. And she says sometimes she doesn't even get on the roof? That's crazy.

[laflamablanca]

im 3 minutes in and she hasn't mentioned this is a best a 3/12 with shingles. okay good luck if you have this lady inspection your shit

[haileyboland]

the inspection is ok but when you say things like the appropriate amount of venting is there, you should really say what that is when you are using this as a teaching video. I find most instructional/educational videos are not very specific at all and they should be.

and here we go again go and beyond the standards of practice that have been outlined for home inspectors which does not require you to walk on a roof
