Roofing Contractor in Newark, New Jersey

Newark is the largest city in the state and it has the widest range of roof types we work on: brick row houses in the Ironbound, multi-family buildings across the North and South Wards, and industrial and warehouse roofs near the port and airport.

Nearly all of it is low-slope, and nearly all of it fails at the same places — drainage, parapets, and penetrations.

Free estimate in Newark

No cost, no obligation. We inspect, photograph what we find, and explain your options.

Your details go to our office only. We never sell or share them.

Row houses and multi-family buildings

Ironbound row houses and the attached housing stock across the city carry flat roofs squeezed between parapet walls, often with the neighbor's roof at a different height on both sides.

The party-wall joint and the parapet cap are the two details that decide whether that roof stays dry. We tie the membrane up and over the parapet with proper termination and counterflashing rather than relying on sealant at the wall.

What we inspect

Industrial and warehouse roofs

The building stock near the port, Doremus Avenue, and the airport corridor runs to large single-ply and built-up roofs, many of them twenty years old or more and patched repeatedly.

On these we take core samples across the field before recommending anything. Dry cores mean a TPO recover is usually the better economics; wet cores mean a tear-off, and we say so rather than selling a recover that fails early.

From the field

Emergency leaks on occupied buildings

A leak in an occupied Newark building is rarely just a roofing problem — it hits tenants, inventory, or a ground-floor business the same day.

We answer emergency calls 24/7. The first visit stops the water: temporary membrane patching or tarping, photo documentation for insurance, and then a permanent repair scope you can act on.

What we do in Newark

  • Modified bitumen and built-up roof replacement
  • TPO and EPDM installation, recover, and repair on commercial buildings
  • Parapet wall, coping, and counterflashing repair
  • Roof drain, scupper, and internal drainage correction
  • 24/7 emergency leak response and temporary weatherproofing

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle commercial roofs in Newark?
Yes. Warehouse, industrial, and multi-tenant commercial roofs are a large part of our Newark work — mostly TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen.
How fast can you respond to a leak in Newark?
We take emergency calls 24/7 at (201) 682-1155 and prioritize active leaks in occupied buildings, usually the same day.
My leak shows up along an interior wall, not the middle of the ceiling. Why?
That pattern usually points to the parapet wall or coping rather than the roof field. Water gets behind the wall cap and travels down the inside face.
Should I recover or tear off my warehouse roof?
It depends on what the cores show. Dry insulation and a sound deck make a recover the cheaper, less disruptive option. Wet cores mean a tear-off is the only durable answer.
Do you pull permits with the City of Newark?
Yes. We file with the city, schedule the required inspection, and provide the closed-out paperwork.
