Kamas Home Inspector

If you’re buying a home in Kamas during the winter, there’s a good chance snow will be part of the inspection. With the Uinta Mountains nearby, snow is simply a fact of life here. Kamas has a long history of ranching, dairying and lumber production, including an early sawmill built by John Pack along Beaver Creek in 1860. Today, the area’s mountain setting is part of its appeal, but it can also make certain parts of a home harder to inspect during the colder months.

A snow-covered roof is a good example, and a familiar sight to Scott Martineau, A1’s owner, who lives nearby in Midway. During a Kamas home inspection, we can’t properly evaluate roofing materials that are buried under snow, and we’ll make sure those limitations are clearly explained in the report. We may still be able to check accessible attic areas for water stains or signs of moisture, but that’s not the same as examining the roof itself. If snow prevents a full roof inspection, ask about having it checked once conditions improve. Any available roof replacement or repair records can also be helpful. The important thing is knowing what we’ve been able to inspect and what still needs attention before you make your decision.
