Clifton is one of our most-served cities. From Athenia Cape Cods to Allwood split-levels, we've completed thousands of roof, chimney, and gutter projects across the city.
Clifton is large and it is not one place. Botany Village, Athenia, Allwood and Dutch Hill were developed in different decades and the roofs reflect that almost street by street. Practically, this means a quote based on the town average is meaningless in Clifton — what matters is which section you are in and what was standard construction the year your block went up.
Botany Village and the older Athenia streets run to pre-war frame homes and two-families with steep pitches, plank decking and original masonry chimneys. Allwood and the newer sections skew postwar: capes, ranches and split-levels with plywood decking, shallower pitches and, more often than not, a roof that is now on its second or third asphalt layer.
Clifton's other defining feature is the sheer number of homes that have had additions. Rear extensions, enclosed porches and dormer additions are everywhere, and every one of them creates a transition where a new roof plane meets an old one. Those transitions are where Clifton roofs leak, and they are the first place we look.

Clifton's older housing stock often hides outdated 3-tab shingles and original galvanized flashing — we recommend a free drone inspection before the next winter.
Clifton's high rate of rear additions and enclosed porches means most homes have at least one plane-to-plane or roof-to-wall transition. Improperly stepped or reused flashing at those joints is the single most common leak source we find in town.
Postwar Clifton homes are frequently on a second or third layer. Beyond a certain point that weight is a structural question, not just a roofing one, and it has to come off rather than be covered again.
Allwood-era roofs often sit at a pitch shallow enough that standard shingle installation is marginal. Those need extended ice-and-water coverage and careful valley detailing to perform.
Botany Village and older Athenia homes typically still have their original masonry stacks. Crown failure and soft-mortar joints are near-universal on these; a rebuilt crown and correct-hardness re-point usually solves it without a full rebuild.

Almost always the flashing at that transition. Additions are frequently tied in with roofing cement or reused step flashing rather than properly woven, stepped and counter-flashed. It holds for a few years and then fails. Redoing that detail correctly is usually a targeted repair, not a full roof.
Yes, but by house type rather than by address. A pre-war Botany Village two-family with plank decking and a low-slope rear costs differently than an Allwood ranch with plywood and a single clean plane. That is why we inspect before quoting.
We generally will not. It hides the decking condition, shortens the new roof's life, and on homes already carrying two layers it adds weight the framing was not designed for. A tear-off costs more up front and is the cheaper roof over its life.
Yes. We handle the permit application with the Clifton building department and schedule the required inspection as part of the job.
