Our Old Bridge office is about an hour away.
Lopatcong Township is next to Phillipsburg in southern Warren County.
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.
Roof Problems We See Most in Lopatcong
Mostly newer single-family developments and townhouse communities, with farmland on its edges.
Developments built together tend to need roof work in the same years, and exposed hilltop lots take the wind.
Based on the homes we see in Lopatcong, these are the things worth asking about on an estimate:
- Attic ventilation. Original attics often have little venting. Ridge and soffit vents added during a replacement help the new roof last.
- Split-level tie-ins. Where a lower roof meets an upper wall, ask for step flashing and ice and water shield at the joint.
- High-wind nailing. Ask for the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern and starter strips at every eave and rake.
