What actually tells you a roof was done right.
Any crew can photograph a roof from the street on the day they finish. The details below are what a home inspector or an insurance adjuster looks at three years later — and they are what we photograph on purpose.
Straight, consistent shingle courses
Wavy courses usually mean the crew did not snap chalk lines, or that the decking underneath is uneven and was covered rather than replaced. On the Paramus job above, 4 sheets of delaminated plywood were swapped before a single shingle went down.
Metal at every transition, not caulk
Step flashing woven into each course where a roof meets a wall, counterflashing cut into the chimney mortar joint, and new valley metal. A bead of sealant at those spots is a two-year fix pretending to be a twenty-year one.
Visible ventilation
A continuous ridge vent paired with clear soffit intake. Without intake, a ridge vent does nothing, and the attic cooks the shingles from below — the single most common reason a New Jersey roof dies a decade early.
Mortar color and joint profile on masonry
On the Montclair chimney restoration, the repointing mortar was matched to the original 1920s mix and struck to the same profile. Mismatched grey mortar on a hundred-year-old chimney is the tell that someone rushed it.
Ledger and post detail on decks
Look for flashing above the ledger board and hardware rated for pressure-treated lumber. The Wayne cedar deck used hot-dip galvanized hardware and a flashed ledger, which is what the inspector signed off on.
A clean site at the end of the day
Nail sweeps, tarped beds, and a dumpster placed legally. It sounds cosmetic; it is actually the best predictor of how the parts you cannot see were handled.
