Common questions from Newark homeowners

Do you repair built-in (yankee) gutters on Newark two-families?

Yes. We line the trough with a membrane or metal pan rather than ripping out the framing, then re-flash into the roof edge. Full removal only makes sense when the wood box itself is rotted through.

Can you work on a rowhouse with no driveway or side yard?

Yes. We stage from the street with sidewalk protection, use roof-top loading where the neighbor allows access, and handle the city dumpster permit.

My rear addition roof is flat and always leaks. Replace or repair?

If the membrane is more than 15 years old and there are multiple patch layers, replacing that section with TPO and new wall flashing costs less over five years than repeated repairs.

Roofing questions from Newark

Do you do 24 hour emergency roof repair in Newark?

Yes. Emergency roof repair in Newark 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 Newark, NJ?

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

Are gutter guards worth it on Newark houses?

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

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 Newark addition?

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