Farmhouses and older homes
Some homes here date from before 1940, and a few farmsteads are far older. A roof that old can hide extra layers and tired boards, so we check the deck before pricing.
Roof replacement →Roofing in Wantage covers a lot of ground, from old farmhouses to lake homes. We come out, look at the roof and chimney in person and give you a written price before any work begins.

From farmhouses to lake homes: roofs in Wantage
Homes cluster around Sussex Borough and Lake Neepaulin, with farms across the rest of the township. The age of the house usually tells us where to look first.
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s
More of the township's houses went up in these two decades than in any others. Many are due for a second roof, and the chimney flashing often needs replacing with it.

Garages and outbuildings
Rural properties often have more than one roof to look after. A detached garage or workshop can be priced during the same visit as the house.

Sandra L.Before and after
Rules to know before roof work
Permits
The township's building office says you do not need a permit to reroof your house. State code treats new roof covering on a detached home as ordinary maintenance.
Who issues permits
Building permits run through an office shared with Hardyston Township. Work that goes past the roof covering, such as structural repair, may need one.
Selling or renting
A Continued Certificate of Habitability is required on resales and rentals. The inspection list includes how the furnace and water heater vent into the chimney.
Ask the building office about anything beyond a straight reroof.

Questions homeowners ask
Do you travel to Wantage for roof repairs?
Yes. Sussex County is one of the counties we serve, and the township is on our list. Call or send the form, and we will set a time to see the roof. If water is coming in, call at any hour.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
For a detached house, generally no. The township's building office says reroofing needs no permit, and state code treats it as ordinary maintenance. Structural repairs are different, so we tell you if the job goes beyond the roof covering.
Can you fix the chimney my wood stove vents into?
Yes, we repair, sweep and reline chimneys. A stove or furnace needs a sound flue, so we check the liner, the crown and the flashing. If the liner has failed, we can fit a new one sized to the appliance.
How do snow and ice damage a roof?
Melted snow can refreeze at the roof edge and trap water behind it. That water can work under the shingles and into the wood. Clear gutters, sound flashing and good attic ventilation all help, and we check each one during a visit.
Can you look at a barn or detached garage roof?
Yes, we work on garages, workshops and other outbuildings as well as houses. Tell us what else needs a look when you call. That way every roof on the property can be inspected and priced during a single trip.
Will insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Your insurer makes that call, based on your policy and what caused the damage. Take photos as soon as it is safe, and keep water out where you can. We repair the roof whatever the outcome, and we never promise coverage.
