As Christmas rapidly approaches, homeowners climb their ladders and hang their Christmas decorations. And each weekend, I witness yet another one of my neighbors walking on their tile roof as they string their lights up. This is a really bad idea! Tiles crack very easily. It takes an extremely skilled professional to walk on a tile roof without damaging it. Don't try it - you will most likely be sorry! Home Inspectors generally do not even walk on tile roofs to inspect them!
If you have already walked on your tile roof this year or in the past, you may want to have your roof inspected for broken tiles before it begins to leak. It's relatively inexpensive to have a few tiles replaced. But once they start leaking, it can be much more costly.
If you or someone you know is in need of a home inspection, call today!

Because an ounce of inspection is worth a pound of repair!
Last year I hired a service to hang my Christmas lights and they broke a few tiles on my roof.

I see my neighbors walking on their tile roofs to hang lights too. Do you know when you crack one?
