Historic district constraints
Work in the older districts has to respect the streetscape as well as the building, which affects material choice and sometimes the permit route.
The state capital, with dense row housing, a historic core and a large institutional footprint - three different roofing problems inside one city.
Plus every adjoining municipality - see the Mercer County page for all 10 areas we cover.
Row housing dominates, which puts the party wall and the flat rear section at the top of the list every time we are called out.
Work in the older districts has to respect the streetscape as well as the building, which affects material choice and sometimes the permit route.
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 Trenton: 08601, 08602, 08603, 08604, 08605, 08606, 08607, 08608, 08609, 08610, 08611, 08618, 08619, 08620, 08625, 08628, 08629, 08638, 08644, 08645, 08646, 08647, 08650, 08666, 08690, 08691, 08695. 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 Trenton 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.
