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 flat and low-slope systems, 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.

The ones we trace most often here are two- and three-family roofs, low-slope rear additions, party-wall and parapet flashing and access and staging on tight lots. Each is described above, and all of them are checked on every free inspection in Newark.
The inspection and the written estimate that follows cost nothing and carry no obligation. You get photographs and a condition report either way.
All of them. Our crews work the Ironbound, Forest Hill, Weequahic, Vailsburg, and the North, South, East and West Wards, and every ZIP code in Newark is inside the standard service area with the same response times.
The closest towns and communities we cover, nearest first. Same crews, same response times.
