Where do Fair Haven homeowners get building permits?
At the shared office in Rumson: 80 East River Road, 732-842-3022.
My house is from the 1940s. What should I worry about up top?
Age shows in the decking, the flashing and the attic airflow. Older houses often have little attic ventilation, and that cooks shingles from below. Our inspection checks all 3.
Do you work along River Road?
Yes: River Road, the Navesink shoreline and the streets around Fair Haven Fields.
