Roof Inspections in New Jersey
An inspection is only useful if it produces a document you can act on. Ours does: photographs of what we found, an explanation of why it matters, and a plain statement of what needs attention now versus what can wait.
We inspect for homeowners planning ahead, buyers and sellers in a transaction, and property managers who need a condition record.
When people call for an inspection
- Before buying a house, when the general home inspection flagged the roof
- Before selling, to know what a buyer's inspector will find
- After a significant wind or hail event
- Annually on commercial and multi-family properties
- When a roof is approaching 15–20 years and the owner needs a timeline
- Before installing solar, so the roof is not the weak link under new panels
What we inspect
What the inspection covers
- Shingle or membrane condition, granule loss, blistering, and uplift
- All flashing: chimney, sidewall, skylight, valley, and penetrations
- Pipe boots and roof-mounted equipment curbs
- Ridge and hip condition
- Drip edge, fascia, and gutter attachment
- Attic decking, insulation depth, and evidence of moisture
- Ventilation: intake at the soffit and exhaust at the ridge, and whether they are balanced
- Bath and kitchen fan terminations
- Evidence of prior repairs and how they were performed
What you receive
A written report with dated photographs, findings organized by severity, and our recommendation. If nothing is wrong, the report says so — we do not manufacture urgency.
If work is needed, the report is not a bid. You can hand it to any contractor.
Frequently asked questions
- How often should a roof be inspected?
- Once every couple of years for a newer residential roof, annually once it passes about 15 years, and annually for any low-slope or commercial roof regardless of age.
- Do you go in the attic?
- Yes, whenever there is safe access. The attic is where a roof's real story is written, and skipping it is how ventilation problems get misdiagnosed as leaks.
- Is the inspection free?
- An estimate visit for work you are considering is free. A documented inspection report — the kind used for a sale or a condition record — is a paid service, and we quote it up front.
