Roof Repair in Madison, NJ

Roof repair on an older Madison home is a question of where the water is actually getting in. On a house with dormers, intersecting gables, multiple chimneys and a hundred years of maintenance, the answer is rarely the shingles or slates in the open field of the roof. It is almost always a flashing detail: step flashing at a dormer sidewall, counter-flashing at a chimney, a valley whose metal has rusted through, or a gutter that overflows into the soffit.

Asset Roofing & Chimney specializes in asphalt shingle and flat roofing. On the many Madison homes that were reroofed in asphalt, we repair the roof directly. On homes that still carry slate, we assess the roof, handle the flashing, chimney and gutter work that is frequently the real problem, and tell you plainly when individual slate replacement should go to a slate specialist.

Repair or replace? What we tell Madison homeowners

We trace a Madison leak from the inside first where there is attic access, then inspect every flashing detail above the stain. Repairs on asphalt roofs mean new step and counter-flashing, new valley metal where needed and matching shingles. Where a roof has been patched many times, we will tell you how much sound life remains so you can decide between repairing and planning a replacement.

On slate roofs, our role is to assess honestly. Flashing and chimney repairs on a slate roof are well within what we do; wholesale slate replacement is not our specialty, and we will say so rather than take on work that belongs to a slater.

Madison Specifics

Roof problems we see in Madison

Dormer and sidewall flashing

The many dormers on Madison homes each have two sidewalls and a front wall, every one of them a potential leak. Original flashing has often been surface-caulked repeatedly instead of replaced, and the caulk fails within a few seasons.

Rusted valley metal

Open valleys on older roofs were lined with galvanized or terne metal that has rusted through after many decades. Water that reaches the deck through a valley often travels a long way before it shows up on a ceiling.

Gutter overflow into soffits and walls

Madison's trees fill gutters fast. Overflowing gutters soak the fascia, run back into the soffit, and on homes with built-in gutters can rot the roof edge from inside. Many interior stains near outside walls trace back to this.

Slipped or broken slates

On slate roofs, individual slates slip when their nails rust through or crack from impact. A few missing slates let water into the underlayment and deck. We can assess the extent and advise whether the roof is a candidate for selective repair.

FAQ

Roof Repair in Madison: your questions

My home has a slate roof that leaks near the chimney. Can you fix it?

Very likely, because leaks near a chimney are usually the chimney flashing or the crown and brick, not the slate. We repair chimney flashing and masonry on slate roofs regularly and can reset the slates we disturb. If the slate itself is failing broadly, we will tell you and recommend a slate specialist for that part.

Why do I only get a leak in the room under the dormer?

Dormers are flashing-intensive. Water running down the main roof hits the dormer sidewall, and if the step flashing behind the siding has rusted, was never installed, or was covered by newer siding, it goes into the wall. Repairing a dormer properly means removing a few courses of siding and shingles and installing new step flashing.

Do you repair flat roofs on the commercial buildings downtown?

Yes. The two- and three-story buildings along Main Street and nearby have flat membrane or built-up roofs, and we repair seams, drains, scuppers, parapet caps and flashing around rooftop units. We can work with the building owner or a commercial tenant and schedule around business hours.
