Major Update: We got an extension until Monday at midnight! Our inspector was not able to see the roof on Saturday, but will be there first thing Monday morning to inspect it.
When your offer gets accepted, you have 15 days of contingency to get the house inspected and get the sellers to agree to make repairs. Sometimes, a seller will extend the contingency for an extra inspection or some additional negotiating time. That is not our case, and it might turn into a problem.

As I mentioned in Inspection- Part 1, our inspector was not able to check the roof of our house because it was covered with two-feet of snow. Unfortunately, although the sellers agreed to fix all of the issues found during the inspection, save for replacing the interior door from the kitchen to the garage (we were reaching with that one), they did not agree to extend the contingency period. This means that we don't have additional time to have an inspector check the roof. We have to decide by tomorrow whether to take the house without a proper roof inspection.
what our house looks like now
Yes, the roof is only 10 years old.
Yes, the inspector found no evidence of roof damage when he inspected it from the inside.
Yes, the sellers will fix any issues that arise from the snowmageddon snows.
Yes, our REA thinks the roof looks great.But, can we really buy a house without having a professional give us the thumbs up?
Unfortunately we only have 12 hours to make that decision.
