Project Case Study: Selling with Confidence

‍When preparing to put a house on the real estate market, the condition of the roof is one of the most critical factors for potential buyers and home inspectors. Recently, a homeowner on Mariposa Drive in Manassas, VA, reached out to our team because they were planning to list their 2-story home for sale the very next month.

Because they did not know the exact age of the current shingle roof, they wisely requested a full inspection to determine its condition. They also wanted a comprehensive estimate to replace both the roof and the entire gutter system, ensuring the home would pass inspection flawlessly and present maximum curb appeal to potential buyers.‍

The Pre-Market Inspection Process

A new roof is a massive selling point, but only if the underlying structure is healthy. Our Manassas team doesn't just look at the exterior shingles; we conduct a thorough evaluation of the entire roofing system.

For this property, our inspection included:

• Interior Attic Evaluation: We got up into the attic to inspect the underside of the roof deck. This allows us to verify the condition of the plywood decking, check for hidden moisture intrusion, and evaluate the home's intake and exhaust ventilation.
• Exterior Assessment: We evaluated the exterior, noting the roof's 6/12 pitch, the existing vented soffits, and the need to remove an old satellite dish. We confirmed that while the homeowner initially just wanted an inspection, the roof definitely required a full replacement before listing.
• Precision Measurements: Using advanced measurement tools, we determined the exact material requirements for the simple 2-facet gable roof, calculating 17.7 squares of roofing material, 104 feet of eaves, and 68 feet of rakes.

The Gutter Replacement Proposal

A beautiful new roof means very little if a failing gutter system allows water to damage the home's foundation or siding. To complete the exterior upgrade, we provided a detailed, itemized estimate for a full 5-inch gutter replacement tailored for a 2-story home.

The specifications for the proposed gutter system included:

• Seamless 5" Gutters: We quoted the installation of 104 linear feet of brand new 5-inch gutters.
• Upgraded Downspouts & Elbows: To ensure rapid water diversion away from the foundation, the estimate included 80 linear feet of 2x3 downspouts and 20 corresponding "A" elbows.
• Aesthetic Integration: All new gutters, downspouts, and elbows were quoted to be perfectly color-matched to the home's exterior trim for a seamless, high-end look.‍
