Two- and three-family roofs
Much of Newark’s stock is multi-family, where one failed roof affects several households and access has to be arranged around all of them.
New Jersey’s largest city, and one where the housing predates most of the roofing systems sold today. We work every ward, and we start by finding out what is actually on the deck.
Plus every adjoining municipality - see the Essex County page for all 21 areas we cover.
Attached and multi-family housing changes the problem completely. The leak is rarely in the sloped front you can see from the street - it is the flat rear section or the shared wall.

Row and semi-detached homes carry flat rear sections that were often shingled below minimum slope. Those need a membrane system, not asphalt.
Shared walls between attached homes are the most common leak path we trace in this housing type, and the hardest to find without attic access.
Narrow frontages and street parking mean the dumpster and staging plan gets agreed before the crew arrives, not on the morning.
Yes - every ZIP code in Newark: 07101, 07102, 07103, 07104, 07105, 07106, 07107, 07108, 07112, 07114, 07175, 07184, 07188, 07189, 07191, 07192, 07193, 07195, 07198, 07199. There is no part of the municipality we treat as out of area.
Active leaks are triaged the same day. In most cases we can be on site within twenty-four hours to make the building watertight, with the permanent repair scheduled once conditions allow.
The inspection and the written estimate that follows cost nothing and carry no obligation. You get photographs and a condition report either way.
Where Newark requires a permit for roofing work we handle the application and schedule the municipal inspection as part of the job, priced into the estimate.
Send the details and we will confirm a time - usually the same week. You get a written condition report with photographs, not a verbal guess.
Tell us what the roof is doing and we will tell you what it needs - no pressure, no hard sell.
