Attic +

		The Crown’ The roof structure of a home is composed of several critical elements. Rafters and trusses, made from wood or metal, form the skeleton of the roof, supporting the outer layers and shaping the roof’s slope and style. Sheathing, typically plywood or OSB, is attached to the rafters/trusses, providing a base for roofing materials. Underlayment, a water-resistant layer, is placed over the sheathing for added protection against moisture. The roof covering, which can be shingles, tiles, metal, or other materials, serves as the outermost barrier against weather elements. Flashing is used around vents, chimneys, and valleys to prevent leaks, and gutters are installed to channel water away from the structure.
		The Attic Baseline Components are reviewed for presence, general condition, and visible signs of damage or deterioration where accessible. This includes visible roof framing, sheathing, insulation, ventilation components, attic access, and observable wiring or mechanical penetrations. Accessible areas are checked for moisture staining, microbial growth, pest activity, displaced or compressed insulation, and improper ventilation. The review is limited to observable conditions without moving insulation, dismantling components, or evaluating concealed framing, wiring, or roof coverings.

		Framing 101 Behind every wall is a framework — much like your own skeleton. Vertical studs form the bones, while cripples support around openings. King and jack studs work together to hold up headers over doors and windows, spreading the load. Top plates cap the walls and tie everything together, while bottom plates anchor it all to the floor. This unseen structure is critical to the strength, stability, and alignment of your home. Just like a healthy body depends on solid bones, your home depends on this framing to stand true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ See also Insurance section for more details on your the structural specifications of this property.
