Common questions from Montclair homeowners

Can a single cracked slate be replaced?

Yes, with a slate hook or copper strap rather than face-nailing. Face-nailed repairs crack the neighboring slates within a few seasons.

Do you install copper gutters?

Yes, half-round copper with matching downspouts and soldered joints where the house already has copper.

Is clay tile repairable in place?

Usually. Most tile leaks come from failed underlayment or flashing, so the tile is removed, the substrate rebuilt, and the tile reset.

Roofing questions from Montclair

Do you do 24 hour emergency roof repair in Montclair?

Yes. Emergency roof repair in Montclair 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 Montclair, NJ?

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

Are gutter guards worth it on Montclair houses?

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

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 Montclair addition?

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