Roofing Contractor in Elizabeth, New Jersey
Elizabeth's housing is dense and old — two- and three-family homes, attached rows, and apartment buildings, most with roofs that have been patched and overlaid for decades.
We do a steady volume of work here: leak diagnosis on aging flat roofs, full replacements on two-families, and storm response when wind comes off the bay.
Call (201) 682-1155Flat and low-slope roofs on multi-family homes
Much of Elizabeth's housing stock has flat or low-pitch roofs with rolled roofing or aging modified bitumen. Blisters, open laps, and clogged internal drains cause most of the leaks we're called for.
Where the deck is sound we can often restore with a proper membrane system; where water has been sitting in the insulation, replacement is the honest answer.
What we inspect
Storm damage near the waterfront
Wind exposure increases toward the port and the bay, and lifted shingles and dislodged ridge caps show up after every coastal storm. We document damage for insurance and make the building watertight the same visit.

Flat Roofing'Flat' roofs are not flat. They are low-slope, and the entire performance of the system depends on that slope actually moving water to a drain within about 48 hours of a rain.
Roof RepairA roof repair is only worth paying for if it addresses the thing that is actually failing. A surprising number of the repairs we are called to redo were competent work applied to the wrong part of the roof — sealant at a stain's location instead of at the entry point twelve feet uphill.- Storm Damage RepairNew Jersey gets three distinct kinds of damaging weather: winter nor'easters that drive rain sideways for a day and a half, summer thunderstorm downbursts that snap limbs, and the occasional tropical remnant that combines wind with an extraordinary volume of rain.
Roof ReplacementReplacing a roof is the one home project where nearly all of the value is buried under the part you can see. The shingle is the least differentiated component on the job; the underlayment strategy, the flashing details, and the ventilation balance are what determine whether the roof reaches its rated life.- Roof Leak RepairWater does not fall straight down inside a roof. It runs along the top of rafters, travels the underside of decking, follows a nail line, and drops through the ceiling wherever the path finally breaks — frequently several feet from where it got in, and sometimes on a different slope entirely.
