What to do next
- Measure your roof's square footage so you can compare the $0.20 to $0.50 per square foot rate against flat per-visit quotes.
- Ask each contractor for their New Jersey 13VH registration number and verify it before booking.
- Request proof of at least $500,000 in commercial general liability insurance and a written contract for any job over $500.
- Check the current Morristown snow depth before scheduling, since removal is only needed when snow actually accumulates.
