Who Signs Off on the Work in Clifton
If the work after an inspection needs a permit, it goes to the Clifton building department.
The city issues home improvement permits there and points out that a permit is how a homeowner knows the contractor is licensed and the work follows code. It books building, electric and plumbing inspections by phone during office hours. Ordinary repairs usually do not need one, so confirm the permit requirements for the proposed work with the Clifton building department.
We are registered with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs as a home improvement contractor, NJ HIC #13VH11720500. You can check that on the state licence verification portal before you hire us, or anyone else. We install GAF and Owens Corning roofing systems and are not enrolled in either manufacturer's contractor certification program.
Other Work We Do in Clifton
What We Check on a Clifton Roof
Clifton 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.
Flashing at chimneys, walls, and skylights
Flashing is the first thing we check, because it is the first thing that leaks. The pre-war colonials near Botany Village often have old tin flashing under layered shingles, and a chimney that has been repointed but never reflashed will leak in the next storm.
Eaves and the ice-dam zone
The post-war capes through Allwood get ice dams at the eaves nearly every hard winter. During an inspection we check the eave for the signs before a ceiling stain appears: worn starter courses, thin attic insulation at the exterior wall, blocked soffit venting.

Valleys and two-family transitions
A large share of Clifton housing is two-family, with a flat-roofed addition off the back that is usually newer and lower quality than the main roof. The pitched-to-flat transition is where water collects and the original flashing was often an afterthought. We document which plane the failure sits on and, on shared roofs, note what crosses the property line before any price is discussed.
Storm and insurance documentation
Wind or hail on a Clifton roof means a second task, the paperwork. Dated pictures cover what an adjuster will ask about: shingles that are creased or lifted, vents with dents, and flashing that has torn.
Near Botany Village the pre-war colonials carry both layered shingles and tin flashing, and each gets its own photographs. The claim itself is between you and the carrier, and the dated photographs are yours to use.
Buying a Clifton home
Before you close on one of the older colonials or split-levels, a roof inspection shows how many years are left and roughly what the next roof costs. We put that in writing so it can go with the rest of your inspection reports. There is no obligation to hire us for the work.
All About Clifton, NJ
Clifton became a city in 1917 out of the old Acquackanonk Township, and the rooflines still show the building eras that followed. Pre-war colonials near Botany Village carry layered shingles and tin flashing.
Post-war capes through Allwood were built fast in the boom years and get ice dams at the eaves. Ranches and split-levels fill Richfield, and mixed-use buildings run flat roofs along Main and Clifton Avenues.
Flashing problems show up first in spring, after winter, and summer storms strip shingles from open fields and drop limbs. An autumn visit makes sense, since small trouble found ahead of winter is cheapest to repair and far less likely to become a February ceiling stain.
Working out of 38 Speer Ave, we inspect across Allwood, Athenia, Botany Village, Lakeview, Richfield, Montclair Heights, and Delawanna. Athenia's older frame houses off Van Houten Avenue need a different inspection focus than the Allwood capes or the Richfield split-levels.
