Many Fair Lawn roofs have been re-covered at least once, so a repair often involves working on a second layer of shingles, which never lies as flat as the first. In Radburn, where homes are closely grouped and face shared greens, access and debris control take planning. Near the Passaic River, we also see the effects of long-term moisture on soffits, fascia and the lower courses of roofing.
Some Fair Lawn roofing calls turn out to be chimney flashing or crown problems. The single brick chimneys on these houses have thin crowns that crack and let water run down inside the stack. We check both on every inspection so you are not paying for a shingle repair when the masonry is the problem.
Repair or replace? What we tell Fair Lawn homeowners
If your Fair Lawn roof has a single layer of flexible shingles and the leak is at a dormer, chimney or eave, a targeted repair will serve you well. If the roof has two layers and is leaking in more than one place, repairs will buy limited time, and the practical next step is a full tear-off. We inspect, photograph and tell you which situation applies.
After storm damage, we document it with photographs and a written report for your insurance claim if you choose to file one. Estimates are free.
