ROOFING INSPECTIONS IN NEW JERSEY

OUR COMPREHENSIVE ROOF INSPECTION PROCESS

At Ray Roofing, we’ve developed a thorough, systematic approach to roof inspections:

1. Exterior Inspection

Our experts carefully examine the exterior of your roof, looking for:

• Missing, damaged, or curling shingles

• Loose or exposed nails

• Damaged or missing flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights

• Signs of moss, algae, or lichen growth

• Sagging or uneven roof planes

• Damaged or clogged gutters and downspouts

2. Interior Inspection

We don’t stop at the outside. Our team also inspects your attic and interior ceilings for:

• Water stains or discoloration

• Daylight visible through the roof boards

• Sagging decking between rafters

• Proper ventilation and insulation

• Signs of mold or mildew

3. Structural Inspection

We assess the overall structural integrity of your roof, including:

• Roof deck sagging

• Signs of water damage or rotting wood

• Chimney cracks or damage

• Gutter system integrity and alignment

4. Material-Specific Checks

Different roofing materials require different inspection techniques. Our team is trained to inspect all types of roofing materials, including:

• Asphalt shingles

• Metal roofing

• Tile and slate

• Flat roofing materials (EPDM, TPO, etc.)

5. Advanced Technology

We utilize cutting-edge technology to enhance our inspection process:

• Infrared cameras to detect hidden moisture

• Drone inspections for hard-to-reach or dangerous areas

• Digital measurement tools for precise assessments

6. Detailed Reporting

After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report that includes:

• Detailed findings with photographic evidence

• Recommendations for repairs or maintenance

• Estimated remaining lifespan of your roof

• Suggestions for improving energy efficiency

When to Schedule a Roof Inspection

While we recommend annual inspections for most homes, there are certain situations that call for immediate inspection:

1. After Severe Weather

New Jersey experiences a range of severe weather conditions. Schedule an inspection after:

• Heavy storms with high winds

• Hail storms

• Heavy snow or ice accumulation

• Extreme temperature fluctuations

2. Before Buying or Selling a Home

A thorough roof inspection can:

• Give buyers confidence in their investment

• Help sellers identify and address issues before listing

• Potentially increase the value of your home

3. Signs of Interior Damage

If you notice any of the following, it’s time for an inspection:

• Water stains on ceilings or walls

• Peeling paint or wallpaper

• Unexplained mold or mildew growth

4. Age-Related Inspections

As your roof ages, more frequent inspections may be necessary:

• Asphalt shingle roofs: Every 3 years after the 10-year mark

• Tile roofs: Every 5 years after the 20-year mark

• Metal roofs: Every 5 years after the 15-year mark
