A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of the property, designed to identify areas of concern within specific systems or components defined by the signed agreements and Standards of Practice, that are both observed and deemed material by the inspector at the exact date and time of inspection. Any and all recommendations for repair, replacement, evaluation, and maintenance issues found, should be evaluated by the appropriate trades contractors within the client's inspection contingency window or prior to closing, which is contract applicable, in order to obtain proper dollar amount estimates on the cost of said repairs and also because these evaluations could uncover more potential issues than are able to be noted from a purely visual inspection of the property.
This inspection will not reveal every concern or issue that exists, but only those material defects that were observable on the day of the inspection. This inspection is intended to assist in evaluating the overall condition of the dwelling only. A Home Inspection is not a code inspection. We recommend that you check with your local building department for any closed, voided, failed or unpermitted work prior to closing on the home. This inspection does not predict future conditions and conditions with the property are subject to change the moment we leave the premises.
A home inspection is designed to reflect, as accurately as possible, the visible condition of the home at the time of the inspection. Conditions of a home for sale can change radically in only a day or two, so a home inspection is not meant to guarantee the condition of the home on the date of the sale, for example. It’s not uncommon for conditions to change between the time of the inspection and the closing date.
This chart details the predicted life expectancy of household materials, systems, and components. Life expectancy varies with usage, weather, installation, maintenance, and quality of materials. This chart provides a general guideline from the world's largest inspection association https://www.nachi.org/life-expectancy.htm

Concrete surfaces are weathered and deteriorated. I recommend repair or replacement by concrete professional when the driveway or walkway looses its functionality.

Mechanical Damage - Coverings
Estimated Severity : Minor/Maintenance
At the time of inspection there was some mechanical damage present on the roof covering. This is damage that's not attributed to a storm or hail. It is often the result of a contractor walking on the roof and scuffing the shingles. Mechanical damage typically does not affect the roof's ability to shed water. If there are further concerns I recommend having a licensed roofer evaluate.
