Roof inspection starts with the problem found and photographed, then the scope and price in writing before any work starts.
Roofers Hotline is a roofing company for roof inspection in Toms River and 7 towns across Ocean, Monmouth and Atlantic counties, on one phone number, (855) 512-1072. Someone answers at any hour, and the estimate is written down before any work begins.
The NOAA storm log for Ocean County shows 19 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, and storm repair follows each one.
Every slope gets looked at, whether on foot or by drone, so nothing is missed on a steep or wet roof. With 8 tornadoes and 10 damaging wind events in the county record since 2015, lifted or missing shingles are worth finding early. Call to book the survey.
Flashing, vent pipes, chimneys, valleys and the ridge are where water gets in first. The metro gets 52 inches of precipitation a year in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals, so a small gap lets in a lot of water over time. You get a clear list of what needs sealing or replacing. Call to schedule.
The attic shows what the shingles hide: damp decking, poor airflow and daylight coming through. The metro has 115.9 freeze days a year in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals, and poor ventilation lets moisture build up when it is cold. Have the attic hatch clear, then call to book.
Clogged or sagging gutters push water back under the roof edge and onto fascia boards. Ocean County's tropical storm events since 2015 are a reminder that heavy rain can overwhelm drainage quickly. The check covers gutters, downspouts and where the water goes. Call to have drainage included in your visit.
Step by step, from the first call to the written estimate, the work is explained under what roof inspection includes.
Roofers Hotline books roof inspections in Toms River, and the storm record is the reason to make the call. NOAA's Storm Events database lists 19 hail events of one inch or larger for the county since 2015, along with 10 damaging thunderstorm wind events and 8 tornadoes. Hail here is rare compared with wind, but the largest stone on record measured 1.75 inches, which is big enough to bruise shingles you cannot see from the driveway.
Call to book a roof inspection and get a written estimate before any work starts. Calls are answered 24 hours a day.
Housing age shapes what an inspection finds in Toms River. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 54% of homes here were built before 1980, and the median home dates to 1978, so many roofs have been replaced once and some twice. Add 52 inches of precipitation a year and 115.9 freeze days in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals, and flashing, attic ventilation and gutters take steady wear. The visit covers all of them, and the written estimate says what to repair and what to replace. Call to schedule yours.
Across the metro's 62 ZIP codes, what roof repair includes is explained visit by visit.

Any of these is a reason to call: you are buying or selling a home, a hail or wind event just passed, your roof is older than 15 years with no recent check, or you plan to add solar. Ocean County has logged 4 hurricane or tropical-storm events since 2015, and FEMA's National Risk Index rates hurricane risk Relatively High, so wind-driven rain is a real cause of hidden damage here. Photograph anything odd from the ground, stay off the roof, and call for an inspection.

Why call
Book after any wind or hail event, and before spring if the roof has not been checked in years. Hail reports in this area peak in June, and the county has 115.9 freeze days a year in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals, so winter leaves its own wear for the thaw to show. FEMA's most recent declaration for the county was Remnants Of Hurricane Ida on September 5, 2021. The visit gives you a full inspection and a written report with photos and a repair-or-replace opinion. Call to pick a day.
The same service is booked in other towns too; see our coverage of Forked River, 8 miles away.
