Let's say (and this is not a hypothetical) that the first time your 'go to' hands on maintenance person does a 'no call no show' when investigating a say, water rot issue where it seems like some shingles may be failing up close to the corner of a house's gutter system/etc. 

The best thing you can have ready would be some tarps, a couple dozen 1x2 wood strips to hold the traps down.....if you lose a bunch of shingles you need to cover the roof....it will be a couple of weeks before you’ll likely get someone else to do it.

Hi all,My sister needs some work done on a SF rental she has- had two quotes come out from the tail end of last year but haven't gotten to it yet due to life getting in the way- are there any professional gutter/roofe...

If so, were permits pulled & were they installed by a professionalAre any of the homes rented to studentsIs there a flat roofare there asbestos shingles - Heating systems- PlumbingSome companies will not write properties with systems that have not been updatedThe Year that the following were updated (either partially or fully) would be good to know:- Heating systems- Roof- Plumbing- electricalSome companies will not write properties with systems that have not been updated.As long as you are living there, the proper policy for a 1-4 family is a "Homeowners" policyc.

Inspector happened to find defective substrate in the asphalt shingles; a major defect not visible from the ground. 

About $1800 in random repairs, some missing cracked shingles, hvac drainage line repair, a few electrical items, minor mold in crawl,  drainage line on pressure relief valve of water heater The most annoying part was that the appraiser said the railings on the porch had to have gap less than 4 inches.

So far they roof is 10 years old, not missing any shingles or anything. looks good.Water heaters are 5 years old.Furnace is an oil furnance and is fairly new, replaced less then 10 years ago. 

But the fact is there is no structural damage, only few shingle been rubbed and cost him only $200 to patch.

One we just needed to replace a few broken shingles, and left the asbestos on.

The inspector said the house needed a new roof 5 years ago when I bought the place…When I walk on the roof there are areas of clear rotting in the sheathing under the shingles, it’s spongy as if there has been moisture intrusion and rotting of the sheathing…The roof is bowing in some areas also, and has a couple of curled shingles.
