Condition Assessment

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.
