The lake communities and the commercial corridors each need something different. Expanded cottages around Lake Hiawatha and Lake Parsippany often need a replacement that unifies several roof sections built at different times, including low-slope additions that should be done in membrane rather than shingles. Office buildings and retail along the highways need full membrane replacement with attention to insulation, drainage and rooftop equipment.
When replacement is the right call in Parsippany-Troy Hills
Replace rather than repair when shingles are brittle across the roof, when there is a second layer, when leaks appear in several unrelated areas, or when the roof is simply at the end of its useful life. On a typical Parsippany split-level a replacement is a one- to two-day project. We tear off to the deck, replace damaged sheathing, install ice-and-water protection at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, architectural shingles and ridge ventilation.
For commercial buildings we evaluate the existing membrane, insulation moisture, drainage and the condition of curbs and penetrations before recommending a system. We work around business hours where needed and coordinate with the HVAC contractor when units need to be lifted or reflashed.
