Common questions from East Orange homeowners

Should I keep the slate or switch to shingles?

If the slate is only failing at fasteners and flashing and the framing is sound, repair is cheaper per year of service. Widespread delamination changes the answer.

Can you match old slate?

We source salvaged and new slate by size and color. An exact match is not always possible, so we place matched pieces on the visible slopes.

Do you work on three-family buildings with tenants?

Yes, with advance notice for tenants and staging that keeps entrances and parking usable during the work.

Roofing questions from East Orange

Do you do 24 hour emergency roof repair in East Orange?

Yes. Emergency roof repair in East Orange runs 24 hours a day: leak stopped, tarp installed if the weather is still coming down, then a written scope for the permanent repair. Call and you speak to someone, not an answering service.

What does gutter repair cost in East Orange, NJ?

Sectional gutter repairs and resealing are priced per run and usually land in the low hundreds; full seamless gutter replacement on an average East Orange house is priced by linear foot after we measure. You get the number in writing before work starts.

Are gutter guards worth it on East Orange houses?

They help where mature street trees drop debris all fall, which covers most of East Orange. Micro-mesh guards over properly pitched seamless gutter is the combination that keeps working; cheap plastic screens clog and hide the problem.

How do you stop ice dams in East Orange?

Ice dams are a ventilation and insulation problem, not a gutter problem. We check attic intake and exhaust, insulation depth at the eave, and whether ice-and-water shield was ever installed at the first courses, then fix the cause instead of raking the roof every January.

Asphalt shingles or a flat roof for my East Orange addition?

Anything under about a 2:12 pitch needs a membrane, not shingles — that is most rear kitchen and porch additions in East Orange. Above that, architectural asphalt shingles are the standard choice. We will tell you which one your slope allows before quoting.
