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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
