Open exposure
Fewer mature trees and wide-open lots mean less wind shielding. Ridge caps, rakes and eaves take the brunt, so edge detailing deserves attention.
Newer homes, specific questions
- Is attic ventilation balanced on large, multi-gabled roofs?
- Are valleys and wall flashings holding up under the first hail seasons?
- Would impact-resistant shingle be worth discussing for the next roof?
- Where do large roof planes shed snow and ice?
Acreage and outbuildings

Common questions
After major storms, yes. Documentation made early is useful if issues appear later.
