Essex County Housing Stock and Roofs
The east side has row houses, multi-family buildings and older brick construction; the western towns have large older homes, many with steep, complex roofs.
Expect flat-roof work and chimney flashing on older city buildings, and valleys, dormers and steep pitches on the larger houses toward the ridge.
What to Ask For on a Essex County Roof
Based on the homes we see in Essex County, these are the things worth asking about on an estimate:
- Two-family homes. Ask for both sides of the roof priced together, so the whole building is on one warranty and one schedule.
- Tight lots. On close-set streets, ask how debris is handled: chutes, a smaller dumpster and protection for the neighbour's side.
- Multi-family access. On occupied buildings, ask how roof access, tenants and noise will be handled during the work.
- Parapets and walls. Most flat-roof leaks start where the roof meets a wall. Ask for the parapet flashing to be part of the scope.
- Chimney flashing. Large old chimneys are a leading leak source; flashing should be replaced with the roof, not reused.
How We Work and What We Install
How a roofing job works, step by step
Every job in Essex County runs the same way, whether it is a single repair or a full replacement:
- First call
We ask what you're seeing
Where the water shows up, how old the roof is, whether it's getting worse. If water is coming in now, the call becomes an emergency visit.
- On the roof
Inspection with photos
We go up, and into the attic where we can, and photograph every problem so you see what we see.
- Before any work
A written estimate
Repair and replacement priced separately when both are reasonable, with the materials named.
- Work day
The job, then a walkthrough
Yard protected, work done, nails swept, and photos of the finished roof.
Roofing materials we install
What goes on your roof depends on its pitch, the look of the house and how long you plan to stay. These are the systems we install on Essex County homes; the estimate names the exact product line.
Asphalt shingles
The most common roof on New Jersey homes: solid weather protection for the money, in a wide range of colours and styles to suit the house.
Architectural shingles
Heavier, dimensional shingles with more depth than flat 3-tab. They resist wind better and usually carry longer manufacturer warranties.
Low-slope roofing
TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen for porch roofs, rear additions and commercial flat roofs, where shingles do not have enough pitch to shed water.
