Roof Inspection in Trenton, Start to Finish
A roof inspection in Trenton gives you a clear picture of the roof before you spend anything on it. We look at the surface, the flashing, the penetrations and, where we can reach it, the attic, and you get the photos and a written summary of what we found. Our Old Bridge office is about 40 minutes away.
Trenton is the capital of New Jersey and the county seat of Mercer County, on the Delaware River.
What You Get in the Report
You get photos of the roof surface, flashing, penetrations and gutters, plus the attic where we can reach it, and a written summary: what is fine, what needs attention now, and what to plan for. Use it to budget: a roof with ten good years left and a roof that needs replacing next spring call for different plans.
Trenton Housing Stock and Your Roof
Row houses, twins and older brick buildings, many over a century old, in tightly built neighbourhoods.
Flat and low-slope roofs, parapets and old brick chimneys are typical here.
Based on the homes we see in Trenton, these are the things worth asking about on an estimate:
- Two-family homes. Ask for both sides of the roof priced together, so the whole building is on one warranty and one schedule.
- Brick chimneys. On older brick, ask whether the price includes new step and counter flashing, not just sealant.
- Parapets and walls. Most flat-roof leaks start where the roof meets a wall. Ask for the parapet flashing to be part of the scope.
Thinking about roof inspection? We inspect, photograph what we find and put the price in writing. Free, with no obligation.
