To combine quality and value in your roofing project, keep the following tips in mind:
Get several estimates. Ask for references. Get addresses for completed projects then drive by and inspect the work. Make sure shingles are straight, aligned, and trimmed cleanly and neatly. Not confident about evaluating the project yourself? Recruit a friend who has been through a roofing project. Verify references. Find out if the homeowner would hire the roofer again. Find out if they have any problems with quality of the work or in dealing with the roofer. Did he honor his estimate, pick up nails, and replace damaged plantings?
Before you sign an agreement, read the contract. Make sure that the warranty is for a period of at least one year and that it covers leaks, flashing failure, and any labor-related defects. Make sure the materials specified in the estimate are reflected in the contract. If you have questions or doubts, ask the roofer to clarify them. Negotiate to satisfy both of you. The complete scope of work should be detailed and provision for additional charges should be specified. Make sure the roofer is licensed and insured. Obtain copies of licensing and insurance.

New Jersey is surrounded by water except along the 50 mi (80 km) of northern border with New York state. The northern third of the state lies within the Appalachian Highland region, where ridges running northeast and southwest shelter valleys containing pleasant streams and glacial lakes. Beyond the crest of wooded slopes are long-established farms given over to dairying and field crops. The Kittatinny Mts., with the state's highest elevations (up to 1,803 ft/550 m), stretch across the northwest corner of New Jersey from the New York border to the Delaware Water Gap. In 1961 New Jersey, along with three other states and the federal government, signed the Delaware River Basin Compact, providing for the control of water resources and rights throughout the Delaware River basin.
