We tear off down to sound decking, replace rotted boards, add tapered insulation where it will move water to the scupper, and install EPDM, modified bitumen or TPO membrane with new base and counterflashing at the parapets, new scupper flashing, and new curbs and flashing at hatches, skylights and vents. Parapet and coping repairs can be done as part of the project.
Replacing a roof in a city this dense takes coordination: street parking and arrangements for a dumpster or delivery, materials hoisted to the roof, protection of neighboring roofs and shared walls, and notice to residents. We plan all of it with you in advance. Permits are often required for full replacements, and we can advise on what typically applies.
When replacement is the right call in Hoboken
For most Hoboken rowhouses, EPDM or modified bitumen is a proven choice; TPO is an option where summer heat on the top floor is a concern. Where a rooftop deck is present or planned, we will discuss a membrane and protection layer suited to foot traffic. Permits are often required for full replacements; we can advise on what typically applies.
Associations should plan for resident notification, parking, and any approvals in their bylaws. Dumpster and delivery arrangements on a Hoboken street usually need municipal coordination. We walk through all of these details at the estimate so the project runs smoothly.
