Roof Repair in Clifton, NJ

Most roof repair calls we get in Clifton involve pitched shingle roofs on older capes and colonials: a stain on an upstairs ceiling after a nor'easter, shingles in the yard after a windy night, or a drip around a chimney or plumbing vent. On these homes the roof deck is often original, and the shingles may be a second or third layer, so finding the real source of a leak takes some care.

We also repair flat and low-slope roofs on commercial buildings along Route 3 and Route 46 and on multifamily properties around the city. Membrane seams, drains and rooftop equipment curbs are the usual suspects there. In either case, we start with an inspection, explain what we found, and give you a free written estimate for the repair before any work begins.

Repair or replace? What we tell Clifton homeowners

A localized repair makes sense when the roof is otherwise sound: a few wind-damaged shingles, a flashing failure around a chimney, a split seam on a flat section. We match shingle color as closely as possible, replace the underlayment in the repair area and reflash properly rather than relying on sealant alone. If we find that the shingles are brittle across the whole slope, or there are already multiple layers on the deck, we will tell you honestly that a repair is a short-term fix and explain what a replacement would involve.

For Clifton landlords and commercial owners, we can document the roof condition with photos so you have a record for your own files or for an insurance claim after storm damage.

Clifton Specifics

Roof problems we see in Clifton

Worn or lifted shingles on older capes

Shingles on 1920s to 1950s houses in Clifton have frequently been layered over earlier roofing. Once the top layer loses granules or lifts at the tabs, wind-driven rain gets under it and finds nail holes in the layers below.

Chimney and vent flashing leaks

Many Clifton leaks are not roof leaks at all but failed flashing where the brick chimney, plumbing stacks or a dormer meets the shingles. Old step flashing and tar patches dry out and crack, especially after freeze-thaw winters.

Ice dams on low-slope rear additions

Enclosed porches and rear additions on older Clifton homes often have shallow pitches and little insulation. Snow melts, refreezes at the eave, and water backs up under the shingles into the ceiling below.

Ponding and seam failures on commercial flat roofs

Flat roofs on Route 3 and Route 46 commercial buildings collect water around clogged drains and low spots. Standing water accelerates seam splits in older membranes and finds any gap around HVAC curbs.

Gutter and fascia damage from tree debris

Mature trees on Clifton's residential streets fill gutters with leaves and seed pods. Overflowing gutters rot fascia boards and soak the roof edge, which leads to leaks that look like roof problems but start at the perimeter.

FAQ

Roof Repair in Clifton: your questions

How do I know if my Clifton roof leak is from the shingles or the chimney?

Water that shows up on the ceiling near a chimney, usually after wind-driven rain, often points to flashing rather than the shingles themselves. We check the counterflashing, step flashing, chimney crown and the shingles above the chimney together, because in older Clifton homes more than one of these can be failing at the same time.

Can you repair a roof that already has two layers of shingles?

We can make targeted repairs on a double-layer roof, but the results are only as good as the layers underneath. If the lower layer is deteriorated or the deck is soft, a patch will not hold for long. We will tell you what we find and whether a repair is worth the money.

Do you repair flat roofs on commercial buildings along Route 3 and Route 46?

Yes. We repair EPDM, modified bitumen and TPO membranes on stores, warehouses and mixed-use buildings in Clifton, including seam repairs, drain and scupper work, and flashing around rooftop units. We can usually inspect without disrupting your tenants or customers.

Will you help with an insurance claim after storm damage in Clifton?

We can inspect the roof, photograph and document the storm damage, and provide a written estimate that you can submit with your claim. The claim itself is between you and your insurer, but good documentation makes the process easier.
