Roof Inspection in Parsippany: What to Expect
A roof inspection in Parsippany 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 yard is about 25 minutes away.
Parsippany-Troy Hills is the most populous town in Morris County, along Interstate 80 and Interstate 287.
Roof Problems We See Most in Parsippany
Post-war ranches, capes and split-levels, lake homes around Lake Parsippany and Lake Intervale, and newer townhouses.
Many roofs are on their second or third covering, and the wooded lake sections add moss, leaves and ice dams.
Based on the homes we see in Parsippany, these are the things worth asking about on an estimate:
- Plank decking. Many post-war roofs sit on board decking. Ask how gaps or soft boards will be handled and priced.
- Cape dormers. Dormers add walls and valleys to flash. Ask for new step flashing where each dormer meets the roof.
- Gutters. Leaf and needle load from surrounding trees means gutters and guards matter as much as the roof.
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.
