Roof Replacement in Bloomfield, NJ

When a Bloomfield roof has been patched repeatedly, carries two or more layers, or shows brittle shingles and granule loss across the whole surface, replacement is the sound choice. On the township's pre-1950 homes, a replacement done properly removes every layer, repairs the deck and rebuilds every flashing detail that has been caulked for decades.

We install architectural asphalt shingles on colonials, capes and two-families, and single-ply membrane on flat roofs, including rear additions, porch roofs, garages and the commercial buildings on Bloomfield Avenue and Broad Street. Many Bloomfield properties have both types, and we detail the junction between them so it does not become the next leak.

Narrow lots require careful planning. We protect neighboring property, manage debris in a tight driveway or side yard, and schedule the tear-off so the deck is not left open longer than necessary. Owners of two-families get a plan that keeps disruption to tenants to a minimum.

When replacement is the right call in Bloomfield

Replacement is warranted when the roof has multiple layers, widespread brittleness or curling, repeated leaks or sagging areas that point to deck problems. If you are already planning work on the chimney, gutters or a flat rear roof, coordinate it with the main roof. Separate projects a year apart cost more and risk damaging new work.

On two-families and multifamily buildings, let us know about tenant schedules and parking so we can plan access and keep the work moving.

Bloomfield Specifics

Roof problems we see in Bloomfield

Multiple layers and heavy tear-off

Two or three layers of shingles over plank decking is common. All of it comes off so the deck can be inspected and the new roof fastened properly. We plan disposal and site protection for the tight lots that are typical of Bloomfield.

Plank decking with gaps

Pre-war homes have board sheathing that has shrunk and split. Where gaps are wide or boards are rotted near eaves and chimneys, we repair or overlay the deck so shingles are nailed into solid, continuous wood that will hold.

Flat-to-slope transitions

Rear additions with flat roofs meet the main sloped roof in a detail that is often done badly. We install membrane on the flat section, run it up under the shingles and flash the transition so water from the slope cannot get behind the membrane.

Ventilation on finished capes and colonials

Finished attics with knee walls have almost no airflow at the roof deck. We add intake and exhaust ventilation during replacement to control heat, moisture and ice dams, which extends the life of the new shingles.

Commercial flat roof drainage

On commercial buildings, replacement is the time to fix ponding by adding tapered insulation, new drains or scuppers. A new membrane over a roof that still ponds will not last as long as it should, so drainage comes first.

FAQ

Roof Replacement in Bloomfield: your questions

Do I have to remove the old layers or can you roof over?

We remove all layers. Roofing over an existing layer hides deck damage, adds weight, shortens the new roof's life and prevents proper flashing. On Bloomfield's older homes, the deck almost always needs some attention once the old roofing is off, and you cannot see it otherwise.

Can you replace a flat rear roof and a sloped main roof together?

Yes, and it is the best way to handle the transition between them. Membrane goes on the flat section, shingles on the slope, and the junction is detailed with the membrane running up under the shingles and proper flashing at the wall.

What do you recommend for flat commercial roofs in Bloomfield?

Single-ply membrane systems suit most commercial roofs here. The choice depends on the deck, insulation, drainage and rooftop equipment. We assess ponding and drain locations and often recommend tapered insulation to correct low spots so the new roof drains properly.

How do you handle a replacement on a narrow lot?

We walk the site before the job to plan where materials and the dumpster go, protect driveways, siding and landscaping, and manage debris so it does not end up on a neighbor's property. Tight lots are typical in Bloomfield and part of normal planning for us.
