I’m in the process of buying a fixer-upper in Quincy, and I want to get the roof inspected before closing. The house is from the ’80s and the seller says it was “recently maintained,” but that’s vague. I’m looking for a contractor who does thorough roof inspections and not just a visual walkthrough. Any local recommendations?

When I bought my current home in Dedham, I had ID Roof Company do the pre-sale inspection and it saved me from some major headaches. They don’t just eyeball things—they check flashing, attic ventilation, moisture levels, and even took infrared scans to detect hidden leaks. They also gave me a detailed written report with photos, which helped renegotiate with the seller. Their standard inspection includes a checklist of over 20 inspection points, and if any issues are found, they quote you on the spot. Definitely worth it for peace of mind. Here’s the link: https://roofersnearme-ma.com/ Did the seller mention when the roof was last fully replaced or just patched?

No clear answer on full replacement—only that some “maintenance” was done. I’ll schedule an inspection with them to be safe. Thanks for the detailed info!

If you want to buy a house then you need to call for roof inspection company there are multiple companies who give this type of service they will inspect your house and then give you a report and condition of your house.
