Attic and Ventilation Inspection in New Brunswick, NJ
The underside tells the truth: decking, ventilation and moisture evaluated from inside.
Half of every roof's story is written in the attic. Our attic inspections evaluate decking condition from below, measure intake and exhaust ventilation against the 1/150 rule, check for bathroom fans venting into the attic, and look for the moisture, mold and frost patterns that reveal roof or ventilation failures invisible from outside.

What to Expect on the Day
Most visits are straightforward. We confirm your appointment by phone, arrive in a marked vehicle, and walk you through what we will do before we start. You do not need to prepare anything — just make sure we can access the areas we discussed when you booked. After the work is done, we walk the results with you, answer every question, and leave the property clean.

Attic and Ventilation Inspection in New Brunswick, NJ: Local Considerations

Historic colonials and Victorians near Rutgers, brick rowhouses downtown, and post-war Capes in the outer wards — a mix where ice dams exploit every weak valley, eave and flashing detail.
