1. Are You Licensed and Insured in New Jersey?
This is the very first question you should ask. A legitimate roofing contractor should hold the proper state or municipal licenses and carry both general liability insurance and workers’ compensation.
-
Why It Matters:
Licensing ensures your roofer meets local requirements, while insurance protects you if something goes wrong — like a worker getting injured on your property.
All State Roofing & Chimney is fully licensed and insured, giving homeowners across NJ total confidence in our services.
2. Can You Provide References or Portfolio of Past Work?
A reputable roofer will gladly share examples of completed jobs and offer references from satisfied customers. This gives you insight into their workmanship, reliability, and professionalism.
-
What to Look For:
High-quality before-and-after photos, positive testimonials, and local references.
You can explore real customer feedback on our website or ask us for references near you!
3. Do You Offer a Written Estimate and Contract?
Never proceed without a detailed, written estimate that outlines materials, labor costs, timelines, and warranties. Verbal agreements often lead to misunderstandings.
-
Key Inclusions:
Start/end dates, payment schedules, types of shingles or materials, and warranty terms.

4. What Type of Warranty Do You Offer?
Warranties protect your investment and ensure that any issues post-installation will be addressed without extra cost to you.
-
Types of Warranties:
-
Manufacturer Warranty: Covers defects in roofing materials.
-
Workmanship Warranty: Covers problems resulting from improper installation.
-
We offer strong manufacturer warranties and lifetime workmanship warranties to give you long-term peace of mind.
5. How Will You Protect My Property During the Project?
Roofing work can be messy. Be sure your contractor has a plan to safeguard your landscaping, remove debris, and clean up the job site.
-
Pro Tip:
Ask if they use tarps, magnetic sweepers for nails, and have a cleanup crew after installation.
All State Roofing & Chimney uses professional-grade protection and leaves your property spotless every time.
