On the garden apartments and small commercial buildings, we repair flat and low-slope roofs: open seams, failed flashing at rooftop units, clogged drains and parapet coping that has opened at the joints. Flat roofs near the bridge approaches collect grit that holds water against seams, so cleaning drains and checking low spots is part of every repair visit.
Some Fort Lee roofing calls turn out to be chimney problems, usually flashing that has separated from the brick or a crown that is letting water run down inside the chimney. We check for that on every inspection so you are not paying for a shingle repair when the brick is the issue.
Repair or replace? What we tell Fort Lee homeowners
If storm damage in Fort Lee is confined to one slope, a ridge or a flashing detail and the shingles are still pliable, repair is the right answer. We photograph and document wind damage to support an insurance claim if you choose to file one. If the roof is brittle across the board and loses shingles in every storm, repairs will not keep up, and we will give you a replacement estimate alongside the repair option.
For flat roofs, a localized seam or penetration repair is routine. Widespread blistering, soft areas or multiple layers point toward replacement. Either way, estimates are free and we explain what we found with photos.
