Condition Assessment
Condition Assessment
Beyond Age
Age alone is a poor predictor of when a roof will fail. Two roofs of the same age and type can have very different remaining lives depending on how they were installed and maintained. In a CNA, condition assessment focuses on:
- Material degradation – cracking, brittleness, loss of granules, oxidation, or membrane shrinkage.
- Water performance – evidence of past or active leaks, staining, ponding, or failed drainage.
- Structural support – deck condition, sagging, or deflection that may affect roofing performance.
- Maintenance history – whether the owner has performed regular inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs.
- Environmental factors – hail, high winds, heavy snow, extreme heat, salt air, or industrial pollutants that accelerate wear.
Combining age, condition, and environment, a CNA provides a more realistic view of when the roof will likely need major repair or full replacement.
