Photos of Everything
On a Garfield two-family the photos cover the wall and chimney flashing, the valleys, and any flat section behind, so you see what we saw.
Across the River
We are right over the Passaic River in Clifton, so getting to Garfield is a short run.
A Real Verdict
On a Garfield rental one roof may need a small fix and have years left while its neighbor is done. The report says which one yours is, with photos.
"Excellent experience. Ben provided a written estimate and verbally explained what was needed and how they would make my roof repairs. He performed a full inspection to make sure there wasn't more damage than it initially looked like.…"
Kenney
"I called on a Friday for a roof repair, that same day Bes came over gave me a good price the following Monday he started and finished my roof repair and explained everything in detail and supplied pictures…"
Norman H.
"I setup a work order for our roof yesterday and needed someone to come out and fix it. Florian came out to fix our roof, he was very professional and got the work done properly and quickly. 10/10 recommended!"
Kateri S.
Lodi and Elmwood Park share land borders with Garfield, and Wallington is on the far side of the Saddle River, so the maps start in those three. Each one ends at 38 Speer Ave in Clifton, across the Passaic.
Who Signs Off on the Work in Garfield
For any work after the inspection, paperwork goes to the Garfield building department. The city takes applications Monday to Wednesday until 4:30 and Thursday until 5, and building permits can also be applied for and paid online through its FastTrackGov portal.
Inspection requests on construction permits have to come in writing, by the city's online form or by email. Confirm in the written estimate who sends those requests, and note the inspector's hours. Ordinary repairs usually do not need a permit, so confirm the permit requirements for the proposed work with the Garfield 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 Garfield
What a Four Seasons Roof Inspection Covers in Garfield
A Garfield inspection usually opens with whose roof is whose, since so many buildings here are two-families and small rentals sharing walls. After that it is the flat sections out back and the edges that catch wind off the river.

What We Check on a Garfield Roof
Much of what we inspect in Garfield is older two-family stock. Open whichever parts match your building.
Two-family and rental rooflines
The 2020 census counted about 12,400 housing units in Garfield on roughly 2.1 square miles of land, and close to six in ten homes are renter-occupied. That puts two-family houses and small rentals wall to wall, where a failed valley on one side can stain the ceiling next door. The report names the side the leak starts on and writes up the shared stretch on its own.
Flashing at the joints
Older Garfield two-families have a lot of wall and chimney joints, most with tar over them from repairs years back. Each one gets a photo and a call in the report: reseal it, or pull it and put in new metal flashing.
Flat-roof seams
Flat sections behind a Garfield two-family hold water, and an opened seam or a backed-up drain lets it reach the interior fast. We check both the flat sections and the pitched field.
Wind edges off the river
Ridge caps and rake edges catch the gusts coming up off the Passaic River, and they tend to go first in a storm.
Landlord documentation
Landlords get timestamped photos that answer tenant questions before they turn into complaints, plus a written scope for the records.
All About Garfield, NJ
Most of Garfield rents, so the inspection often doubles as a landlord's record: timestamped photos of each slope, a note on which side of a shared wall the water comes through, and a written scope a property manager can file. We coordinate access with the tenants for the owner.
Two rivers run along Garfield, the Passaic across from Clifton and the Saddle along the Wallington line. Wind coming off them reaches the ridge caps and rake edges with more force than the forecast suggests, and in a storm those are often the first parts to fail.
On the older two-family stock the flashing and valleys fail well before the open shingle field does, and out back the low-slope sections hold water wherever a seam has opened.
Getting to Garfield from the base means crossing one of the Passaic River bridges, a short run. We inspect across the whole city, from the blocks along River Drive to the Route 46 side, and take in Passaic, Lodi and Saddle Brook on the same routes.
Why the Inspection Is Free
The Person on Your Roof
Several reviews say the work was explained clearly. Garfield buildings often share walls, so the photographs come first and the proposed work is yours to accept or turn down.
Licensed and Insured
On a Garfield rental or two-family the licence is NJ HIC #13VH11720500, held by Four Seasons, and the firm is insured.
A Written Report
After a Garfield inspection you receive photos and a written estimate, and if the roof is fine, the report says so. The visit costs nothing either way.
