It is important as a homeowner to be alert to all of the problems that may happen with your home. Your roof is a big investment in the home because it allows you to keep things inside safe. As long as the roof is in good working order and isn’t near the end of its lifespan, you can rest assured that there won’t be any unnecessary damage inside. Knowing the age of the roof can really help with this.
Hopefully you thought to get information on the age of the roof before you moved into the home. But if that slipped your mind and you forgot to ask, then it may be time to ask the previous homeowners if they have any idea. You can still reach out to the previous owner son occasion about the condition of the home. There are some limits to this. You shouldn’t ask hundreds of questions and it should be done relatively soon after moving in. Asking something within the first few weeks of moving in isn’t a big deal, but if you are still asking questions a few years down the line, that can be a problem.
If you do need to reach out to the previous owners about the age of the roof, it is best to go through the real estate agent you used. This adds in a third-party communicator that makes it seem more professional and doesn’t seem as invasive. If you are not comfortable enough telling the real estate agent about the question or concern, then you probably don’t need to bother the previous owners about it either.
Hopefully, the people who owned the home before you were either the ones who replaced the roof and can give you that information, or they at least know when it was replaced before they moved in. It is possible that they didn’t replace the roof. This may not give you the dates that you want, but can give you a roof. You at least know that the roof on the home is a minimum of the number of years they lived in the home.
