Roof Inspection in Rutherford, NJ

Most homeowners in Rutherford never look at their roof until something goes wrong. By then, minor issues that could've been caught early have often turned into major repairs. A professional inspection catches problems at the $200 stage instead of the $5,000 stage.

Our 25-Point Inspection for Rutherford Homes

With Rutherford's historic borough known for its tree-lined streets and pre-war Colonial and Victorian homes, we see specific roofing patterns unique to this community. Our inspection covers every component:

• Shingle condition — granule loss, curling, cracking, blistering, and moss growth
• Flashing integrity — every chimney, vent, skylight, and wall junction
• Gutter and drainage — condition, slope, fastening, and downspout routing
• Ventilation assessment — soffit intake, ridge exhaust, and attic airflow balance
• Structural evaluation — ridge line straightness, decking condition, rafter integrity
• Attic inspection — moisture signs, insulation condition, light penetration
• Pipe boots and seals — rubber condition around all roof penetrations
• Valley condition — shingle overlap, metal valley integrity, debris accumulation
• Fascia and soffit — wood condition, paint, and moisture damage

When Rutherford Homeowners Need Inspections

• Buying a home — don't rely on a general home inspector for your roof. They spend 10 minutes; we spend an hour
• After a major storm — even if you don't see damage from the ground, the roof tells a different story up close
• Annual maintenance — once per year catches developing issues before they become emergencies
• Before selling — knowing your roof's condition (and having a report) helps during negotiation
• After 15 years — this is when asphalt shingles begin showing age-related wear
• Insurance documentation — some insurers require roof condition reports for policy renewal

What You Get

After our inspection of your Rutherford roof, you receive a written report with photos documenting every finding, a condition rating, estimated remaining lifespan, and prioritized recommendations. If repairs are needed, we provide a separate, itemized estimate. If your roof is in good shape, we tell you that too — and we'll see you next year.
