Roofing, gutters, chimney & siding in Newark, NJ
Dense mix of pre-1940 two- and three-family homes with low-slope rear additions and built-in yankee gutters.
Most Newark calls come from two- and three-family houses built before 1940, where the original roof was slate or wood and has been covered over once or twice since. On those houses the leak is rarely in the field of the roof: it is at the built-in yankee gutter, the party-wall flashing, or the low-slope roof over a rear addition.
Access is the first thing we plan in Newark. Narrow side yards, no driveway, and shared walls mean staging happens off the front sidewalk, and we pull the city permit and dumpster placement approval before the crew arrives. On multi-family buildings we coordinate tenant notice so nobody is surprised by a 7 a.m. tear-off.

Common questions from Newark homeowners
- Do you repair built-in (yankee) gutters on Newark two-families?
- Yes. We line the trough with a membrane or metal pan rather than ripping out the framing, then re-flash into the roof edge. Full removal only makes sense when the wood box itself is rotted through.
- Can you work on a rowhouse with no driveway or side yard?
- Yes. We stage from the street with sidewalk protection, use roof-top loading where the neighbor allows access, and handle the city dumpster permit.
- My rear addition roof is flat and always leaks. Replace or repair?
- If the membrane is more than 15 years old and there are multiple patch layers, replacing that section with TPO and new wall flashing costs less over five years than repeated repairs.
