If you are inclined toward the purchase of an old home, one of your prime considerations should be the condition of the roof. You can get a quick idea of the condition by a good look from the ground, f - instance, are there any se or missing shingles? Are some areas of different shades or texture indicating roof repairs? Is the metal flashing at junctions (where roof meets walls or chimneys) in good shape?

Are gutters and downspouts clean, rustfree and in good repair? Downspouts should discharge onto splash blocks directed away from the house, into drains or into an underground dry well.
