We tear off the old layers down to the decking, replace rotted boards, improve drainage with tapered insulation where it helps, and install EPDM, modified bitumen or TPO membrane with new flashing at parapets, cornices, scuppers, vents and hatches. New skylights and roof hatches can be installed at the same time.
Passaic's density means replacement logistics need planning: dumpster placement on a narrow street or in a rear yard, material delivery, debris handling from a roof several stories up, and care at the line where your roof meets a neighbor's. We sort these details out with you before the first day of work.
When replacement is the right call in Passaic
For most Passaic two- and three-family roofs, EPDM or modified bitumen is a good fit. TPO is worth considering if top-floor heat is an issue. We will show you how each system handles the parapets, cornice and scuppers on your particular roof. Permits are often required for full replacements; we can advise.
Plan to notify tenants about noise and access, and think about where a dumpster can go. On blocks with no driveway, street placement may be the only option and may need municipal arrangements. We will go over these details at the estimate rather than leaving surprises for the first day of work.
