Do you offer free estimates in Livingston?

Yes. We inspect the roof, photograph the findings, and give you a written scope and price at no cost.

Water stains appeared where the addition meets the house. Why there?

Roof-to-wall tie-ins are the weak point on expanded homes. Usually the step flashing or the missing kickout at the gutter end is the cause, not the shingles.

Can you stop ice dams over my garage bonus room?

That location is the most common one. It takes insulation and ventilation correction, not just heat cable, and the right time to do it is during the roof replacement.

Should I replace my skylights during a re-roof?

If they are more than about fifteen years old, yes. Reflashing an aged unit means opening the roof again when it fails.

Essex County · New Jersey

Roofing Contractor in Livingston, New Jersey

Livingston is western Essex County suburban: large lots, mature trees, and a housing stock dominated by expanded ranches, split-levels, and substantial newer colonials.

Roofs here tend to be big and cut up — multiple ridges, dormers, bay projections, and long valley runs.

Large, complex residential roofs

Many Livingston homes have been expanded over the years, and each addition brought another roof plane tied into the original. Those tie-in points are where leaks start.

On replacements we rebuild the intersections properly: new valley membrane, new step flashing at every wall, and new kickout flashing where a roof edge meets a wall above a gutter — the detail most often missing entirely.

From the field

Ice dams and attic ventilation

Deep overhangs plus finished attic and bonus-room space over garages create the classic ice dam setup here: warm deck above the living space, cold deck at the eave.

We check insulation coverage and soffit intake during the estimate. Correcting the ventilation while the roof is off costs a fraction of doing it later and stops the damming instead of managing it.

What we inspect

Skylights and sun tunnels

Skylights are common on Livingston additions and kitchens, and older units leak at the flashing kit long before the glass fails.

When we re-roof, we replace the flashing kit at minimum, and we are direct about when the unit itself is past its service life rather than reflashing something that will leak again.
