Roof Inspection in North New Jersey

Once a year is a sensible baseline, ideally in the fall before snow and ice arrive. Add an inspection after any significant wind, hail, or nor'easter event, and consider one each spring for roofs over fifteen years old. Flat roofs benefit from a drain check in both spring and fall.

Estimates for any repair or replacement work are always free. For a standalone inspection, such as a written report for a real estate transaction or an insurer, the scope depends on roof size, access, and the level of documentation needed. Tell us what you need when you call and we will be clear about it up front.

Yes, and it is one of the best uses of an inspection. General home inspectors often view the roof from the ground or a ladder. We get on it, check the attic, and give you a documented picture of its condition and remaining life so you can negotiate or budget accordingly before closing.

No. The purpose of an inspection is to tell you what is there. Many roofs we inspect need nothing or a minor repair, and that is what the report says. When a roof genuinely is near the end, we explain why with photos, and you decide what to do and when.

Photos of each item we found with a note on location and severity, a summary of the roof type, approximate age if determinable, and overall condition, and a list of recommendations grouped as urgent, soon, or monitor. If you need it for an insurer or a buyer, let us know so the format suits that purpose.

Yes. After wind or hail we document storm-specific damage separately from pre-existing wear, since insurers treat them differently. The photos and notes can support your claim, and we can help document the damage and assist with the claim process if you decide to file.
