Roof Repair in Union Township, NJ

Roof repair in Union Township spans two very different building types. On the township's capes, ranches and splits, the usual problems are aged shingles, cracked pipe boots, rear dormers with worn flashing and shallow sections over garages and additions that were shingled at too low a pitch. On the commercial buildings along Route 22, the work is flat-roof seams, drains, flashing and rooftop equipment curbs.

Worn and damaged shingles being torn off a roof

We repair asphalt shingle roofs, flat roofs on homes and commercial buildings, and the flashing at chimneys, dormers, walls, skylights and hatches. Many Union homes have had additions built over the decades, and the junction between the original roof and the addition is a frequent leak point that was never flashed properly in the first place.

We inspect the entire roof, trace leaks from inside where possible and show you photos of the source. For commercial owners and property managers, we provide a clear written scope and photos so decisions can be made without a second site visit, and we prioritize what needs attention now.

Repair or replace? What we tell Union Township homeowners

For a home with one leak and an otherwise serviceable roof, a targeted repair is sensible. Ask for photos of the entry point and the finished work. If shingles are brittle or curling, leaks keep appearing in different places or the roof has multiple layers, replacement is the better investment. We tell you which applies.

Commercial owners benefit from routine flat roof inspections, since small seam and drain problems are inexpensive to fix and expensive to ignore. We document conditions with photos and prioritize repairs.

Union Township Specifics

Roof problems we see in Union Township

Rear dormer flashing on capes

Shed dormers added to capes have long sidewalls and shallow roofs. Worn step flashing and shingles on a low pitch leak under wind-driven rain and ice. We rebuild the flashing and use membrane on the dormer roof where the pitch requires it.

Addition and garage-conversion junctions

Where a later addition meets the original roof, improper tie-ins and missing flashing leak for years. We open the junction, install proper underlayment and metal and re-shingle so the higher roof sheds cleanly onto the lower one.

Cracked pipe boots and vent flashing

Rubber vent boots on 1950s and 1960s roofs crack after years of sun exposure. They are a leading leak source on these homes and a quick, lasting fix when replaced properly along with any damaged shingles around them.

Flat roof seams and ponding on Route 22

Commercial roofs develop open seams, failed drain flashing and ponding in low areas. We repair seams, clear and reflash drains and scuppers, and recommend drainage corrections so water leaves the roof instead of standing on it.

Rooftop unit curbs and penetrations

HVAC curbs, vent stacks and hatches on commercial roofs are common leak points as sealants age and membranes pull away. We reflash each penetration and repair the membrane around it so the detail is watertight again.

FAQ

Roof Repair in Union Township: your questions

My cape leaks at the rear dormer. Is that a roof or a siding problem?

Usually both meet at the same spot. The step flashing where the dormer sidewall meets the roof is the common culprit, along with shingles on a dormer roof pitched too low for them. We rebuild the flashing and, where the pitch requires it, install membrane on the dormer roof tied properly into the main slope.

Do you repair commercial flat roofs along Route 22?

Yes. We repair membrane and built-up roofs on retail, office and light commercial buildings in Union Township, including seams, drains, scuppers, parapet flashing, HVAC curbs and roof hatches. We provide photos and a written scope so owners and managers can make decisions quickly.

Why does the roof leak where the addition meets the house?

Additions were often built with the new roof simply butted against the old one, with little or no flashing at the junction. Over time the sealant used there fails. We open the junction, install proper underlayment and metal flashing, and re-shingle so water from the higher roof sheds cleanly onto the lower one.

Can you fix ponding on a flat roof without replacing it?

Sometimes. If the membrane is sound, clearing and reflashing drains, adding a drain or scupper, or adding a tapered insulation cricket in a low area can solve ponding. If the membrane is at the end of its life, correcting drainage during replacement is the better approach. We assess and recommend.
