Roof 

All roofs (house and garage) if accessible (not too steep, snow covered, or of a type that may be damaged by foot traffic) will be inspected from the roof itself. If the roof is not walkable, then the roof will be inspected from a ladder at the eaves and from the ground. 

​

Gutters will be inspected along with the roof and from the roof if possible.

II. The inspector shall describe:
