The coldest corner of the state
Sussex County sits in what the State Climatologist calls the Northern Zone, with small mountains up to 1,800 feet, winters that can run more than ten degrees colder than the shore, and 40 to 50 inches of snow a year on average. The first frost usually comes around October 7 and the last around May 4. Snow sits on a roof here longer, and ice backs up at the eaves.
Almost half the homes here heat with oil, about one in eight with propane and about one in 25 with wood. On many of those houses the chimney carries exhaust from a boiler or a stove all winter. Soot and moisture build up in the flue and work on the liner and the mortar near the top.
About four homes in five are detached single-family houses. Franklin's median house dates to 1955 and Newton's to 1962. Hopatcong's is 1964, Sparta's 1974 and Vernon's 1977.
So we do not price a Sussex County house from the road. We get on the roof when it is safe to and look first.

Do you need a permit in Sussex County?
For most roof, siding and gutter jobs, no. New Jersey's construction code lists three jobs as ordinary maintenance, which means no permit and no notice to the town: a new roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house, new siding on a one- or two-family house unless it is polypropylene, and new gutters on any house. Chimney masonry is not on that list, so your town's construction office decides what it needs. Newton has a historic district, where the Historic Preservation Advisory Commission reviews exterior work, though in-kind roof and siding repair does not need its review. We check with your town before we start, and any permit goes on the estimate.

Heat from the house melts the snow on the roof, the water runs down to the cold overhang, and it freezes there. Water then backs up behind the ice and gets under the shingles. The fix is usually at the roof edge and in the attic. We look at both, and in the middle of winter we can often stop the water first.
Once a year if you use it. That is what NFPA 211, the national fire safety standard for chimneys, calls for. Soot and moisture from oil and wood work on the liner and the mortar, and a yearly look catches damage before it spreads.
Call us, but check with your association first. In most condos the roof and the siding belong to the association, and the board hires the contractor. Townhouses vary. Your association documents say who owns what.
Cement shingles on older houses can contain asbestos. We do not touch them. If we see them at the inspection, we tell you and refer you to a company that tests for asbestos and removes it.
