Our Process

How Our Roof Inspection Works

We inspect every roof like it's our own. Here's the step-by-step process we follow for every job in Morris County.

  1. Initial Call & Scheduling — You call us at (973) 636-4945 or fill out our quote request form. We'll schedule a time within 24 hours, often same-day for emergencies. We ask about your roof's age, any leaks, and storm history.
  2. On-Site Inspection — We arrive at your property in Rockaway or anywhere in Morris County. We climb onto your roof and check every shingle, flashing, vent, and gutter. We use a drone for steep pitches and document everything with photos.
  3. Detailed Report & Estimate — We walk you through what we found, including photos and a written report. We explain any damage from storms, age, or poor installation. We provide a firm price for repairs or replacement, with no hidden fees.
  4. Q&A and Next Steps — We answer all your questions about materials like Malarkey, CertainTeed, or GAF. We discuss warranty options and schedule the work if you decide to move forward. You get a hand-written contract with no fine print.

Real Work, Real Results

A Green Pond Road Tear-Off That Held Through Three Nor'easters

We don't guess. We inspect, document, and fix. Last fall, a homeowner on Green Pond Road called us after a leak showed up in their living room.

The house was a 1990s colonial with original three-tab asphalt shingles. We found seven layers of old roofing underneath — a code violation waiting to happen. We stripped it all down to the deck, replaced rotted plywood on the north slope, and installed Malarkey Legacy shingles with a 50-year warranty. The job took four days in November. That winter, three nor'easters hit Morris County. The roof never leaked. The homeowner called us in April to say the attic was bone-dry. We hand-wrote the contract, included the permit number, and gave them a copy of our license — NJ HIC #13VH08923400. That's how we work.
