Our 25-Point Inspection for South Orange Homes
With South Orange's village atmosphere with Victorian and Colonial homes surrounding a walkable downtown, 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 South Orange 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 South Orange 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.

Get Your Free South Orange EstimateFrequently Asked Questions
What do you check during a roof inspection in South Orange?
Everything — shingle condition, all flashing points, ventilation, gutters, decking from the attic where accessible, and photo documentation. The written report tells you what needs attention now, what to watch, and what's fine.
How much time should I set aside for the inspection?
Typically 45–90 minutes at your South Orange property depending on roof size and attic access, and you don't need to be home for the exterior portion. The written report follows the same day or next.
How often should a roof be inspected in New Jersey?
Once a year, and always after severe weather. Most expensive roof problems in South Orange start as small, invisible-from-the-street issues that an annual inspection catches cheaply.
Should I get an inspection before buying or selling a home in South Orange?
We do, frequently. A roofer's report is far more detailed than the roof section of a general home inspection, and in a South Orange transaction that detail is negotiating leverage for whichever side ordered it.
