Date
This checklist is a documentation aid for observations recorded on the date shown. It is not a certification of code compliance, structural condition, or remaining service life, and it is not a substitute for a professional inspection.
Safety first: inspect only what you can reach safely from the ground or a ladder placed on firm, level ground. Never walk a roof that is wet, icy, damaged, or steeper than you are comfortable with.
