Local conditions
What we see on Montclair roofs
Slate, clay tile and cedar are all still in service here. These need matched repair or a considered replacement - never a shingle overlay.
Slate and cedar at end of life
Original slate and cedar roofs now well past service life. Replacement means matching the roofline character, not defaulting to the cheapest shingle.
Complex rooflines
Multiple gables, dormers and intersecting planes mean far more flashing per square foot than the roof area alone suggests.
Ice damming at the eaves
Overhangs that sit outside the heated envelope dam on every thaw cycle without proper eave protection and balanced ventilation.
