We trace leaks to the source, repair with materials compatible with the existing membrane, and reflash parapets and penetrations properly rather than relying on another layer of tar. On the pitched fronts and shingle roofs found on some Heights houses, we replace wind-damaged shingles and rebuild flashing at walls and chimneys.
For condo associations and landlords, we photograph the roof condition and provide written documentation with every repair, so the board or owner has a record of what was found, what was fixed and what should be watched. We can also inspect a roof annually to catch small problems before they reach the units below. Estimates are free, and we are licensed and insured.
Repair or replace? What we tell Jersey City homeowners
Repair is appropriate when the membrane is dry underneath and generally intact, and the problem is a specific seam, flashing, coping or drain. We clean and prime the area, patch with compatible material, and reflash penetrations and parapets with proper base and counterflashing. If the roof is spongy, blistered across large areas or ponding for days, repairs will keep failing and we will walk you through replacement options instead.
Access in Jersey City is often through an interior hatch or a rear fire escape. Let us know how your roof is reached when you call so we bring the right equipment and coordinate with tenants if needed.
