Planning Roof Inspection in Phillipsburg
A roof inspection in Phillipsburg 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 an hour away.
Phillipsburg is a town on the Delaware River across from Easton, Pennsylvania.
What Phillipsburg Roofs Are Up Against
Older homes, many over a century old, on hillside streets, with twins and row houses near downtown.
Steep older roofs, several past layers and brick chimneys are the usual work.
Based on the homes we see in Phillipsburg, these are the things worth asking about on an estimate:
- Steep pitches. Steep Tudor and Victorian roofs need staging and more labour; ask for that to be priced openly.
- Chimney flashing. Large old chimneys are a leading leak source; flashing should be replaced with the roof, not reused.
- Old layers underneath. If there are already two layers of shingles, the code limit has been reached: the estimate should include a full tear-off.
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.
Thinking about roof inspection? We inspect, photograph what we find and put the price in writing. Free, with no obligation.
What Roof Inspection Costs in Phillipsburg
The inspection itself is free. If it turns up work, you get a written estimate for that work with the photos, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
