Photos of Everything
Every inspection comes back with pictures of the flashing, the eaves, the valleys, and anything we flag. You see what we saw, not a clipboard summary.
A Planned Run Down 287
Bernardsville is about thirty miles southwest of the shop, an easy shot down I-287. We schedule the trip and show up when we say we will, so the distance never means a rushed look.
A Real Verdict
Some roofs need a small fix and years of life. Some are done. We tell you which one you have and back it with the photos.
What a Four Seasons Roof Inspection Covers in Bernardsville
An inspection is where a roof problem gets named before it gets expensive. Here is what we look at on a Bernardsville roof, and where to go next once you know what you are dealing with.

- Flashing at chimneys and sidewalls on the big older estate homes
- Steep cross-gabled valleys that funnel a lot of water and wear early
- Pipe boots, the cheapest fix on any roof and the one most often misread
- Ridge caps and rake edges up in the Somerset Hills that take the brunt of a nor’easter
- The low-slope sections over additions where old flashing was an afterthought
- Then the right next step: roof repair in Bernardsville, leak repair, replacement, or chimney work
Why the Inspection Is Free
The Person on Your Roof
Customers ask for Ben by name, and the reviews say why: he finds where a leak is coming from and shows you. An inspection with him is a real look, not a lead form with a ladder.
Licensed and Insured
Four Seasons Roofing and Construction is a licensed and insured New Jersey contractor, NJ Lic. #13VH11720500, and we carry workers' compensation coverage. Our own crew climbs the roof, not a subcontractor you never met.
A Written Report
You leave the inspection with photos and a written number, on the spot or the same evening. If the roof is fine, we say the roof is fine. There is no charge either way.
What We Check on a Bernardsville Roof
Bernardsville roofs fail in patterns tied to when and how the house was built. Open the parts of an inspection that matter most for your kind of home.
Big older homes and their joints
Big older homes here mean a lot of roof-meets-wall and roof-meets-chimney joints, and many got patched with tar over the years. We photograph where the tar has dried and cracked so you know whether it is a seal or a proper metal-flashing rebuild.
Steep valleys
The steep, cross-gabled rooflines around here funnel a lot of water into the valleys, so those wear out roughly a decade ahead of the open field. We read every valley on the walk.
Wind edges in the Somerset Hills
Sitting up in the Somerset Hills, ridge caps and rake edges here take the brunt of a nor’easter and are usually the first thing to lift in a hard blow. We start the inspection at the exposed edges.
Leak tracing on a big roof
The stain on your ceiling almost never sits under the actual hole. From inside the attic, where there is access, we read the deck and chase the real entry point, then water-test the finding before the ladder comes down.
Storm and limb documentation
After a wind event we photograph lifted shingles and torn flashing in the detail an adjuster expects, and date the file, so a claim starts from evidence.
All About Bernardsville, NJ
Bernardsville sits in the Somerset Hills, a town of big older homes on wooded lots where an inspection is mostly about joints and exposure rather than the open field of shingles. Steep cross-gabled rooflines, tall masonry chimneys, and years of add-ons mean a lot of flashing detail per roof, and that is where the leaks start.
Up in the hills the wind has a running start. Ridge caps and rake edges take the brunt of a nor'easter, and the heavy tree cover that keeps the slopes cool also drops limbs in every summer storm. The roofs here age on their own clock, so the free inspection reads the whole roof and tells you exactly where yours stands.
Our shop sits at 38 Speer Ave in Clifton, and Bernardsville is a planned run southwest down I-287, near U.S. Route 202 and County Route 525. It is about thirty miles, a regular run for us rather than a special trip. We cover the town and its neighbors, Bernards Township, Far Hills, and Peapack-Gladstone, plus the Morris County edges in Mendham and Harding.

You are based in Clifton. Do you really come out this far?
Yes. Bernardsville is about thirty miles down I-287, a regular run for us rather than a special trip. We schedule it like any other job and keep the appointment.
My home is big with a lot of chimneys. What does the inspection cover?

We document wind damage the way a carrier wants it, with dated photos of lifted shingles and torn flashing, so you go into the call with evidence.
