Roof Inspection in Ridgewood, NJ

We offer free roof inspections for Ridgewood homeowners — because honest assessment builds trust, and trust builds long-term relationships. We'd rather tell you your roof has 10 good years left than sell you a replacement you don't need.

Our 25-Point Inspection for Ridgewood Homes

With Ridgewood's upscale village with historic Victorian, Tudor, and Colonial architecture, we see specific roofing patterns unique to this community. Our inspection covers every component:

• Shingle condition — granule loss, curling, cracking, blistering, and moss growth
• Flashing integrity — every chimney, vent, skylight, and wall junction
• Gutter and drainage — condition, slope, fastening, and downspout routing
• Ventilation assessment — soffit intake, ridge exhaust, and attic airflow balance
• Structural evaluation — ridge line straightness, decking condition, rafter integrity
• Attic inspection — moisture signs, insulation condition, light penetration
• Pipe boots and seals — rubber condition around all roof penetrations
• Valley condition — shingle overlap, metal valley integrity, debris accumulation
• Fascia and soffit — wood condition, paint, and moisture damage

When Ridgewood Homeowners Need Inspections

• Buying a home — don't rely on a general home inspector for your roof. They spend 10 minutes; we spend an hour
• After a major storm — even if you don't see damage from the ground, the roof tells a different story up close
• Annual maintenance — once per year catches developing issues before they become emergencies
• Before selling — knowing your roof's condition (and having a report) helps during negotiation
• After 15 years — this is when asphalt shingles begin showing age-related wear
• Insurance documentation — some insurers require roof condition reports for policy renewal

What You Get

After our inspection of your Ridgewood roof, you receive a written report with photos documenting every finding, a condition rating, estimated remaining lifespan, and prioritized recommendations. If repairs are needed, we provide a separate, itemized estimate. If your roof is in good shape, we tell you that too — and we'll see you next year.
