Genuine Home Inspections

A home inspection company serving buyers and homeowners across St. George and the surrounding communities.

Background

Roofing here is aged by ultraviolet light and thermal cycling far more than by rainfall, and that changes what matters in a roof assessment. Asphalt shingles lose the volatile oils that keep them flexible, then shed granules and begin to curl; the damage concentrates on south and west exposures long before the north slope shows anything. Tile roofs, common in the valley, complicate the picture because the tile itself can outlast the underlayment beneath it by decades, so a roof that looks intact from the ground may be failing at the layer that actually does the waterproofing.
