Common questions from Union City homeowners

Do you need my neighbor's permission to access my roof?

Sometimes. If the only staging path crosses their roof we get written permission first, or we hoist from the street instead.

What is coping and why does it leak?

Coping is the cap on top of the parapet wall. The joints between caps open with thermal movement and let water into the wall, which then shows up inside as a top-floor stain.

Can a flat roof be done in cold weather?

Yes, with adhesives and membranes rated for low temperature. We adjust the method rather than delay an active leak.

Roofing questions from Union City

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

Yes. Emergency roof repair in Union 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 Union 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 Union 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 Union City houses?

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

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