Common questions from Jersey City homeowners

Do you work on roof decks over the membrane?

Yes. We remove and reset deck sections, flash the sleeper and rail penetrations, and put a walkway pad under high-traffic areas so the new membrane does not get worn through.

My building is a condo — who signs off?

For roofs over common elements the association or its property manager approves the scope. We provide a written estimate with photos that boards can vote on.

Is a historic district approval needed?

Downtown historic districts can require review for anything visible from the street, including cornice metal and skylights. Flat membrane replacement behind a parapet usually does not.

Roofing questions from Jersey City

Do you do 24 hour emergency roof repair in Jersey City?

Yes. Emergency roof repair in Jersey City 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 Jersey City, NJ?

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

Are gutter guards worth it on Jersey City houses?

They help where mature street trees drop debris all fall, which covers most of Jersey City. 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 Jersey City?

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 Jersey City addition?

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