Roof Inspection in Old Bridge, Start to Finish
A roof inspection in Old Bridge 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 right here in town.
Old Bridge Township is in southern Middlesex County along Route 9 and Route 18, reaching north to Raritan Bay at Laurence Harbor.
What Old Bridge Roofs Are Up Against
Mostly single-family neighbourhoods built from the 1960s through the 1980s, from ranches and split-levels to colonials, with older bungalows near Laurence Harbor and newer developments inland.
Whole developments built together are reaching their second or third roof together, and homes near the bay take more wind.
Based on the homes we see in Old Bridge, these are the things worth asking about on an estimate:
- Cape dormers. Dormers add walls and valleys to flash. Ask for new step flashing where each dormer meets the roof.
- Plank decking. Many post-war roofs sit on board decking. Ask how gaps or soft boards will be handled and priced.
- After a storm. Lifted or creased shingles are easy to miss from the ground. A photo inspection after a big storm catches them.
What the Inspection Covers
We look at everything that keeps water out, from the top down:
- Roof surface: shingles or membrane, granule loss, lifted or creased tabs
- Flashing: chimneys, walls, skylights and valleys
- Penetrations: pipe boots, vents and fans
- Gutters and edges: drip edge, fascia and drainage
- Attic, where we can reach it: staining, damp decking and ventilation
You get photos of each, so you can see the roof without climbing a ladder.
