Our Process

How We Inspect Your Roof

We don’t just walk around your house and call it done. Every inspection follows a 4-step system we’ve refined over 14 years of roofing South Brunswick homes, from Kendall Park to Monmouth Junction.

Exterior Walk & Ground Survey — We start at the property line, checking for visible sagging, moss, or debris. Then we walk the perimeter, inspecting gutters, downspouts, and fascia for signs of rot or separation. This gives us the big picture before we get on the roof.
Rooftop Inspection — Using proper safety gear, we climb up and methodically examine every plane: shingle condition, flashing at valleys and penetrations, ridge vents, and chimney boots. We look for curling, cracking, granule loss, and nail pops. We’ll note any areas where Malarkey or CertainTeed shingles show wear differently.
Attic & Interior Check — Inside, we inspect the attic for signs of water intrusion, inadequate ventilation, or animal damage. We check insulation levels and look for daylight through the roof deck. This step often reveals problems the exterior alone can’t show.
Documentation & Report — We compile our findings with photos and a written summary, including estimated repair costs or replacement timeline. You get a clear recommendation—no pressure, just facts. If there’s storm damage, we’ll help you navigate your insurance claim.

Real Inspection, Real Results

How a Routine Roof Inspection Saved a Homeowner $8,000

Last fall, we inspected a 15-year-old roof on a colonial near Cranbury Brook. What looked fine from the ground was hiding serious damage. Here's what we found and how we fixed it.

In October 2024, the homeowners on Maplewood Drive called us for a routine roof inspection after noticing a small water stain on their ceiling. We sent our team out the next day. From the ground, the roof looked okay—no missing shingles, no obvious sagging. But when we got up on the ridge line, we spotted trouble: the flashing around the chimney was rusted through, and the underlayment near the valley had deteriorated. We also found a patch of hidden mold in the attic, which a DIY inspection would have missed. We walked the homeowner through every photo and explained the risks: if left unchecked, that leak could have caused structural rot and a $10,000+ repair. Instead, we replaced the flashing, installed new GAF WeatherWatch underlayment, and treated the mold—all for under $2,000. The homeowner told us, 'You saved us from a disaster.' That's why we push every South Brunswick homeowner to get an annual inspection. It's not about selling roofs; it's about protecting your home.

Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Inspections

Got questions about what a roof inspection covers or how to schedule one? We’ve answered the most common ones below. If you don’t see yours, just give us a call at (732) 466-1707.

What does a roof inspection include?

We check every layer: shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, and the attic for leaks or damage. For homes near Route 130 or Cranbury Brook, we also look for storm wear. It’s a thorough walk-through, inside and out.

How much does a roof inspection cost in South Brunswick?

Our standard inspection is free for homeowners—no strings attached. If you need a detailed report for an insurance claim, there may be a small fee, but we’ll explain upfront. We’ve been transparent since 2012.

How often should I get a roof inspection?

We recommend once a year, plus after any big storm. Living in South Brunswick, you know the weather can shift fast—our 14 years of experience show that catching issues early saves money.

Can I inspect my own roof instead of hiring a pro?

You can look from the ground, but a DIY inspection misses hidden issues like underlayment damage or attic moisture. We’re licensed (NJ HIC #13VH09871200) and insured, so we spot what you might not.

Do you help with insurance claims after an inspection?

Yes—we’re storm damage specialists. If we find hail or wind damage from a recent storm, we’ll document everything and guide you through the claim process. We’ve done it for dozens of homes near Kendall Park.

How long does a roof inspection take?

Usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your roof’s size and pitch. We’ll walk you through findings right after, so you’re not left waiting.

What happens if you find damage during the inspection?

We’ll show you photos and explain the options—repair or replace—with honest advice. No pressure, just straight talk from a family-owned crew that’s been here since 2012.
