We inspect the whole drainage path: the membrane, every seam, the flashing at party walls and parapets, the scuppers and gutters, and the penetrations for vents, skylights and chimneys. We then repair the failing detail with materials compatible with the existing roof. On detached homes with shingle roofs, the repairs are more conventional: flashing, valleys, boots and wind-damaged shingles. Asset Roofing & Chimney is licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Repair or replace? What we tell Phillipsburg homeowners
On a Phillipsburg flat roof, a repair makes sense when the membrane is generally sound and the problem is a seam, drain, parapet flashing or penetration. We repair those with compatible materials and address the drainage so water does not return to the same spot. If a roof has multiple layers, widespread soft spots or ponding that cannot be corrected by repair, we will tell you when replacement is the better value.
Because rowhouse roofs are connected, it helps to know what the neighboring roofs are doing. If a shared parapet or drain is involved, we explain what belongs to whom and how to coordinate. On detached homes with shingle roofs, the usual repair-versus-replace logic applies: localized problems on a flexible roof get repaired, brittle shingles across the roof mean replacement.
