What permits and inspections does Bayonne require for a new roof?

A complete quote in Bayonne should include tear-off, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, starter strip, ridge cap, decking inspection, disposal/cleanup, and the permit. Mixed-climate quotes should still call out ice and water shield in the lowest-temperature months and ridge ventilation for summer attic heat. If your Bayonne quote leaves any of these unlisted, ask the contractor to itemize the omission before signing — that's where change-order surprises come from.
