1. Acceptance of Terms & Service Framework
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "Property Owner," or "Customer") and RoofExpertUSA ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the website located at https://newarknj.roofexpertusa.com (the "Website") and our 24/7 emergency telephone referral dispatch service at (888) 208-4155.
By browsing this Website or initiating a telephone call to our emergency dispatch line, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must discontinue your use of this Website and refrain from utilizing our telephone referral service.
2. Independent Referral Clearinghouse Model & Non-Contractor Disclosure
CRITICAL CONSUMER DISCLOSURE: RoofExpertUSA operates exclusively as an independent advertising, marketing, and customer referral clearinghouse connecting property owners with independent, third-party roofing contractors throughout Newark and North Jersey.
Clear Division of Operational Roles:
- RoofExpertUSA is NOT a Roofing Contractor: We do not hold a Home Improvement Contractor license, do not employ roofing mechanics or tradespeople, do not maintain commercial roofing service trucks, and do not perform physical repairs on roofing envelopes.
- Independent Third-Party Contractors: All roofing repairs, structural tarping, inspections, and restorations are performed exclusively by separate, independent business entities who maintain their own required New Jersey state registrations, liability insurance policies, and worker protections.
- Direct Consumer-Contractor Agreement: Any contract for roofing repairs, emergency containment, warranties, pricing, or financial payment is formed solely and directly between the property owner and the independent roofing contractor you select. RoofExpertUSA is not a party to, nor an agent under, any such contract.
3. Scope of Emergency Telephone Referral Service
Our emergency referral service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When you dial (888) 208-4155, our dispatch team records your location, structural roof type, and active leak severity, attempting to match you with a pre-vetted independent roofing contractor operating within your North Jersey sector.
While we strive to connect property owners with reputable, prompt contractors, we do not guarantee contractor response times, contractor availability during catastrophic meteorological events, or specific repair outcomes. Response time estimates (e.g., 60 to 120 minutes) are general operational goals and subject to traffic, road closures, severe weather hazards, and field capacity.
4. Property Owner Responsibilities & On-Site Safety
Property owners utilizing our referral service agree to:
- Provide accurate, truthful descriptions of property conditions, structural sagging, and life-safety hazards during telephone intake;
- Ensure safe, lawful access to the property and roof access points for arriving independent contractor personnel;
- De-energize electrical circuits in rooms experiencing active ceiling leaks to prevent electrocution hazards;
- Refrain from climbing onto slick, storm-damaged roof decks;
- Independently verify contractor credentials, insurance certificates, and written estimates before authorizing work.
