What R&E Roofing Checks
A roof inspection should look at the entire roof system, not only the visible shingles. R&E Roofing checks surface condition, missing materials, flashing, pipe boots, skylights, chimneys, valleys, ridge caps, gutters, ventilation, attic water signs, and storm damage indicators.
The goal is to separate immediate repair needs from watch-list items. That keeps homeowners from overreacting to small issues and from ignoring problems that can become expensive quickly.
When To Schedule A Roof Inspection
Schedule an inspection after major wind, hail, heavy rain, tree impact, interior stains, missing shingles, before selling, before buying, before solar, or when the roof is 15 to 20 years old and you need a replacement timeline.
New Jersey weather creates freeze-thaw, ice dam, nor'easter, and summer storm stress. Annual or post-storm inspections are cheaper than discovering a hidden leak after drywall and insulation are already wet.
Inspection Outcome: Repair, Monitor, Or Replace
The most useful inspection ends with a decision. Repair now if a failure point is active or likely to leak soon. Monitor if the roof is aging but still watertight. Replace if the system is at end-of-life, has widespread failures, or repair costs no longer make sense.
R&E Roofing explains that decision in plain language with photos so a non-technical homeowner can understand what matters.
