Every plane, walked
Not just the two visible from the drive. Seal strips, tab condition, granule cover, nail pops, earlier repairs and any sign of a layover underneath.
Roof Inspections in Medford Township, NJ
Free, and longer than most — a six-plane roof under heavy tree cover simply takes more walking than a bungalow does.

Why it takes longer out here
Most of these roofs have four to eight planes, several valleys and a line of trees over at least one slope. Each plane fails on its own schedule, and the ones you cannot see from the road are the ones that have been failing longest.
What is covered
Where the time goes
The valleys and the litter
Pine and oak debris packed into a valley holds water against the covering for days after rain, and it is the commonest thing we clear out here.
Every penetration
Pipe boots, the chimney and its flashing, skylight kerbs, vents — where water actually gets in on a roof of any size.
The attic
Daylight through the deck, dark staining on sheathing, damp or flattened insulation, and whether intake and exhaust are anywhere near balanced under all that shade.
Worth knowing
What moss on a north slope means
Under heavy tree cover a north-facing slope can stay damp for most of the year. Moss holds that moisture against the covering and lifts the tab edges as it grows under them, which is why one slope on a big roof can be visibly older than the rest. It is not a reason to replace a roof on its own, and it is a reason to look at the whole thing before anybody says it is.
