Default Questions on Roof, Appliances, and Attics

To Whom It May Concern:

I have a few questions:

1. Roof:

What is customary procedure with an inspection of a roof during the winter, while there is snow on the roof?

What is the typical lifespan for a composite shingle in Michigan (with snow and ice)?

2. Appliances:

Is it customary for inspectors to check the appliances (i.e. electrical panels for the oven)?

3. Attic:

What is the typical inspection regarding attics and evidence of bat infestaton?

It looks like to me, our guest has no idea what a home inspection really covers.
