Roof condition (from the ground)

Repair cost

From the street or yard, scan the roofline for sagging sections, missing or curling shingles, and moss growth — these can signal aging materials or moisture retention that leads to costly repairs. Do not go onto the roof.

HVAC outdoor unit nameplate — regional priority

Repair cost

Locate the outdoor condenser unit and photograph its nameplate to capture the manufacture date — HVAC systems in this region tend to have shorter service lives than the national average, so knowing the age helps you gauge remaining useful life.

Get a clear shot of the full nameplate on the outdoor unit.

Walk the home with the checklist, saving a photo or note for anything worth verifying.
