Flat Roofing in Newark, NJ
Row houses in the Ironbound, single-family pockets in Forest Hill, and small commercial throughout. We work residential and commercial both.
Flat Roofing in Newark, done right.
Newark covers a lot of ground, and a lot of roof types. The Ironbound is dense row-house and small commercial: mostly flat roofs, mostly mod-bit or rolled-asphalt, mostly deferred for years. Forest Hill and the Weequahic section have more single-family stock with pitched asphalt roofs. The commercial corridors along Broad Street and Market are flat-roof commercial work.
Most of our Newark calls are for active leaks: buildings that have been patched repeatedly and finally need a full replacement, or storm damage repairs after major weather events. We work directly with property owners, landlords, and property management companies, and we coordinate carefully on tenant communication and access.
Newark is part of our Essex County roofing service area. We are a New Jersey roofing contractor headquartered in Englewood.

Aged flat roofs at end of service life
Many Ironbound row houses have flat roofs patched for decades. Eventually patches stop holding and full tear-off is the only fix.
Storm damage on multi-family buildings
After major weather events we respond same-day for tarping and full assessments. Insurance work is routine for us.
Failed parapet wall flashing
Old metal caps on parapet walls eventually corrode and let water into the brick. We see this on most pre-1960 buildings. Repair beats full replacement here.
Ice dams on poorly insulated row houses
Older row-house construction often has minimal attic insulation. Ice dams form every winter without remediation.
Chimney and skylight leaks on older single-family homes
Forest Hill and Weequahic homes have the same age-related chimney flashing failures we see across the older parts of NJ.

Leaks in Newark follow the building type. On the Ironbound's row houses, the flat roof itself is usually the problem: decades of patches over modified bitumen or rolled roofing, seams that have opened, and parapet walls whose metal caps have corroded and let water into the brick. In Forest Hill and the Weequahic section, the pitched roofs on single-family homes leak where they always do, at chimney flashing, valleys and vent boots. Roof leak repair starts with finding which of those it is, and on a flat roof that sometimes means checking whether the insulation underneath is already wet.
Roof repair in Newark
Roof repair in Newark keeps a lot of buildings going between replacements: section repairs on flat roofs, rebuilt parapet flashing, cleared and reset roof drains, and chimney and valley work on the pitched roofs. We work directly with owners, landlords and property managers, and coordinate tenant access so the repair happens with the least disruption. When the patches stop holding, we will say so and price the tear-off instead. For commercial buildings along Broad Street and in the Ironbound, see commercial roofing in Newark.

Reviews from the Newark area.
The slate work on our 1920s colonial is genuinely beautiful. They sourced reclaimed tiles to match the originals. Worth every penny.
