Can you inspect a home in winter when there's snow on the roof?

Yes, we inspect year-round in Glencoe, and winter inspections are completely normal here, but snow and ice do create some limitations we'll be transparent about. When the roof is snow-covered, we can't walk it or fully assess the shingles, so we evaluate it as thoroughly as conditions allow, from the eaves, attic, and ground, and we clearly note in the report that a full roof assessment was limited by snow. The good news is that winter is an excellent time to spot certain issues: ice dams reveal insulation and ventilation problems, drafts and cold spots show energy weaknesses, and a sealed-up house gives a realistic radon reading. We can also see how the heating system performs under real load. For any snow-limited items, we'll recommend a follow-up look once the roof clears if needed. You won't be left guessing.
