A ceiling stain, a borrowed ladder, a storm and a knock at the door raise the same worry: what comes first? Seven short answers from federal, state and township pages, written for owners in West Orange, Orange, Millburn, Roseland and Essex Fells.
Keep three things handy: the address, a description of the damage and a rough roof age. Renters: roof work is set up by the owner, so the landlord comes first. Dial (973) 841-8483 if you are in one of the five towns listed here.
