Montclair inspections come up Bloomfield Avenue from the Clifton base. Call (862) 318-3997 or send the address through the form on this page. On slate, every problem course or flashing joint in the report has its own photo next to the written repair-or-replace answer.
Photos of Everything
Chimney and dormer flashing is where most Montclair leaks start, so those joints get photographed one at a time, along with any slate that has cracked or slid.
Straight Up Bloomfield Ave
The base sits a straight run up Bloomfield Ave into Montclair.
A Real Verdict
Most of Montclair's slate can be repaired rather than replaced, and the photos show how many courses are affected.

Who Signs Off on the Work in Montclair
The Montclair building department is on the second floor of the Municipal Building at 205 Claremont Avenue, and it asks homeowners to phone before a project for instructions on that particular job. Ordinary repairs usually go ahead without a permit, and if yours needs one, confirm in the written estimate who pulls it and books the inspection. Worth knowing if you plan to sell: Montclair wants every current construction permit on a property closed out before the sale closes.

Other Work We Do in Montclair
What a Four Seasons Roof Inspection Covers in Montclair
Below is what we check on a Montclair roof, starting with the slate and the flashing around chimneys and dormers. Ice-dam stains along the eaves are the other common find after a hard winter.

What We Check on a Montclair Roof
Whether the house is slate or asphalt changes most of this list.
Slate courses
A cracked slate course does not mean a new roof. Matching slate can be sourced and fitted in, and slate has to be walked with care or it breaks. Most of Montclair’s slate is repairable for decades more, and the inspection tells you whether yours is worth keeping.
Chimney and dormer flashing
The chimneys and dormers this town is famous for are all flashing joints, and most Montclair leaks start at the flashing. We check the step and counter-flashing cut into the mortar and photograph where it has failed.
Valleys and pipe boots
Valleys and pipe boots are the small fixes that get misdiagnosed as roof replacements. A split pipe boot is a small repair, and we check every boot and valley on the walk.
Ice-dam stains at the eaves
March and April show the winter’s damage: ice-dam stains at the eaves, flashing loosened by freeze-thaw, slate cracked by frost. We check the eaves and the attic side for the signs, so a small fix gets done before a ceiling stain shows in February.
Storm and limb documentation
After a named storm we photograph limb impact and torn flashing in the detail an adjuster expects, and date the file while the evidence is fresh.
All About Montclair, NJ
Montclair is an Essex County town known for its architecture and its slate roofs, and the chimneys and dormers give most roofs a lot of flashing joints. An inspection here checks the slate and the flashing first.
We work the full town: the South End and the Watchung Plaza blocks off Valley Rd, the estate streets of Upper Montclair, Montclair Heights up by the Great Notch line, and everything along Grove St and Bloomfield Ave between them. The tree-lined streets drop limbs in summer storms, and North Jersey winters leave ice-dam stains at the eaves, flashing loosened by freeze-thaw, and the occasional frost-cracked slate.
Our base sits at 38 Speer Ave in Clifton, a straight run up Bloomfield Ave into Montclair, with Route 3 a short drive south. From there we cover Glen Ridge, Verona, Bloomfield, and Nutley on the same run.
