We tear off down to sound decking, replace rotted boards, install tapered insulation where it will move water to the scuppers or drains, and install a new EPDM, modified bitumen or TPO membrane with new flashing at parapets, coping, scuppers, hatches, skylights and every penetration. On pitched fronts and shingle roofs, we install architectural shingles over new underlayment and flashing.
Replacement logistics in Jersey City take planning: street parking, dumpster placement, material delivery to the roof, shared walls, and tenant notification. We discuss all of this at the free estimate. Permits are often required for full replacements, and we can advise on what typically applies to your building.
When replacement is the right call in Jersey City
For most Jersey City rowhouses and frame multifamily houses, EPDM or modified bitumen is a proven choice; TPO is worth considering where top-floor heat is a problem. We will show you how each option handles your parapets, coping and scuppers. For pitched fronts and shingle roofs in the Heights, architectural shingles with new flashing are the standard recommendation. Permits are often required for full replacements; we can advise.
Expect some disruption on the street during tear-off and delivery, and plan tenant notification in advance. On blocks with no driveway, dumpster placement may require municipal arrangements. We will work through these details with you.
