The inspection comes over from the Clifton base. Call (862) 318-3997 or use the form on this page to get on the schedule. On a cross-gabled colonial we photograph each valley and every spot where the roof meets a chimney or a wall, and the written answer on repair or replacement comes with the number.
Photos of Everything
On a colonial the valley shots matter most, since that metal tends to wear through years before the shingles beside it, and the shots come with the report.
A Standard Service Drive
The base is over in Clifton, reached by Route 10 and I-280. Livingston is on the Essex County side of the service area, and the visit is booked with a set time window.
A Real Verdict
When a roof has two layers of asphalt, part of the wear sits under the top layer where nobody sees it from the ground. We tell you whether that second layer changes the repair-or-replace answer before any price comes up.
"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 had a great experience with Four Seasons Construction. The team was professional, arrived on time, and completed my roof replacement exactly as promised."
Gold Mason
"4Seasons Construction recently inspected/replaced our roof and they did an amazing job. Highly skilled and punctual!!"

Roseland borders Livingston to the north, West Orange to the east and Florham Park across the Passaic River to the west, so those are the starting points on the three maps. Each button opens directions from there to 38 Speer Ave in Clifton.

Other Work We Do in Livingston
What a Four Seasons Roof Inspection Covers in Livingston
Here is what gets checked on a Livingston roof. The valleys and flashing on the colonials come first, then the ridge caps and rake edges on the river side and near the open lots along Eisenhower Parkway, where the wind hits harder.
Keep reading: What We Check on a Livingston Roof
What We Check on a Livingston Roof
Which of these matters most depends on the house, mainly how many layers are on it and whether it has the cross-gabled colonial roofline. Open the ones that fit yours.
Colonials and their valleys
On Livingston's cross-gabled colonials the valleys carry the runoff from several roof planes, and the valley metal can wear through years before the shingle field beside it.
Flashing at the joints
Where the roof meets a chimney or a wall, somebody has usually slathered tar on, and tar dries, shrinks, and cracks. We photograph the joints and mark whether each one is a seal or a proper metal-flashing rebuild.
Wind edges near the river
The Passaic River forms the township’s western edge, and the river side plus the open lots toward the Eisenhower Parkway take more wind than the forecast suggests. Ridge caps and rake edges go first, so we check them closely.
Whether the roof is layered
A lot of the township’s older roofs have two layers of asphalt by now, and wear under the top layer only shows from the attic or in photos from up top. We flag it during the inspection.
Pipe boots and small fixes
Pipe boots are cheap to replace, yet a split one is often blamed on something bigger. We check every boot so a small honest fix does not get sold as a replacement.
All About Livingston, NJ
Livingston sits in southwestern Essex County, with the Passaic River forming the western edge against Florham Park and East Hanover in Morris County. Much of the township is postwar and later colonials, and those cross-gabled roofs concentrate water into their valleys, so an inspection here checks the valleys and the flashing first.
Wind is the other local factor. The Passaic River side and the open lots along Eisenhower Parkway catch more of it than the forecast suggests, and older roofs here often have a second layer of asphalt over wear nobody can see from the ground. The inspection covers homes across the township, from Northfield and Cedar Ridge to West Livingston and the streets by Livingston Mall.
Livingston jobs go out from 38 Speer Ave in Clifton, over in Passaic County, and Route 10 or I-280 is the usual way in. Those same trips take in the neighboring towns, Roseland on the north side and West Orange to the east, plus Millburn and its Short Hills section to the south.

“Four Seasons Construction just cured my 6 year roof headache. After moving into a house with a roof that was replaced the year before, I was constantly dealing with leaks and shoddy workmanship that the other company would take months to resolve. Four Seasons came to look at the roof, found all the problems, and fixed it to perfection in no time. I can finally sleep at night thanks to these guys! You're the best!!!”
“Thank you Ben for saving me in a pinch. Not only was he able to come out and fix the problem with very short notice they did a stellar job. Additionally, Ben was super friendly and explained everything he was going to do before they did it. 10 out of 10 Would definitely recommend!”
“I called Ben from Four Season Roofing and Construction to fix my siding and some roof leaks. Working with Ben and his crew was one of the best experience I had with any contractors. These guys were very professional with outstanding workmanship. I have absolutely no complaints with Four Season Roofing and I will work with them again in the future. Thank you Ben for coming through at the last minute to take care of me.”
