Roof Inspection in Toms River, Start to Finish
A roof inspection in Toms River 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.
Toms River is the county seat of Ocean County, reaching from the mainland across Barnegat Bay to Ortley Beach.
What Toms River Roofs Are Up Against
Post-war and newer single-family homes on the mainland, and beach and bay homes on the barrier island.
Coastal storms, wind and salt air are hard on roofs here, and many homes near the water were rebuilt or raised after Superstorm Sandy.
Based on the homes we see in Toms River, these are the things worth asking about on an estimate:
- Before storm season. Keep dated photos of the roof. After a coastal storm they make an insurance claim much easier.
- High-wind shingles. Ask for shingles rated for high wind, installed with the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern.
- High-wind nailing. Ask for the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern and starter strips at every eave and rake.
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.
