Townhome and duplex roofs leak at the party wall — every time. Nobody wants to pay, everybody blames the neighbor, and the water damage grows. I read the CC&R, walk the full roof, and give you a report both sides can act on without lawyering up.

Single-Side Townhome Report — $349 Joint Full-Roof Report (split with neighbor) — $499 total ($249.50/side) Detailed w/ CC&R Analysis — $649 Attorney-Grade Party-Wall Dispute Report — $1,500+ Most townhome calls are $349–$649. Joint inspections with the neighbor are the best value — one report, half the cost each.
It depends on the CC&R or party-wall agreement. I read the governing document before I inspect and attribute every finding to the responsible party — you, your neighbor, or shared responsibility. Prevents the 'not my leak' dispute.
Party-wall parapet caps and shared valley flashings are the #1 townhome leak source. I document those separately with photos both parties can see, so the repair conversation starts with facts instead of blame.
Yes, but I recommend inspecting the full roof if your neighbor agrees. A shared roof problem misdiagnosed on one side becomes a leak on both sides within 12 months. Joint inspections split the cost and produce a document both parties own.
Factory & warehouse membrane + equipment audit.
Multi-family portfolio pricing and capital plans.
RTU flashing and vibration leak source audit.
Tarp placement + permanent repair scope.
I've watched too many neighbors sign contracts they didn't understand for roofs they didn't need. That stops with a written report they own.
