New Jersey's largest city. We service everything from Ironbound row-homes to Forest Hill Victorians and multi-family buildings throughout Newark.
Newark is the largest and most varied city we serve, and the roof under your feet depends heavily on which neighborhood you are in. The Ironbound is dense brick and frame with a lot of flat and low-slope rear sections. Forest Hill has substantial older homes with steep, detailed rooflines. Vailsburg and Weequahic run largely to pre-war and inter-war single-family and two-family housing.
Across all of them, the common thread is age. Most of Newark's residential stock predates 1960, which means original plank decking, masonry chimneys built with soft mortar, and in many cases several layers of accumulated roofing that need to come off before anything new goes on.
The other Newark reality is access. Narrow streets, limited parking and tight lot lines mean staging has to be planned rather than improvised. We sort out dumpster placement and material drop before the crew is scheduled, which is the difference between a two-day job and a two-day job that turns into four.

Newark's mix of flat and pitched roofs means many homes need both EPDM/TPO flat-roof expertise and traditional shingle work — we handle both in-house.
Extremely common in the Ironbound and similar dense blocks. The front pitch takes shingle and the rear flat section takes membrane. Roofs quoted as a single system leak at the transition, usually within a couple of seasons.
On older Newark homes it is normal to find two or three layers. That is weight the original framing was not sized for, and it has to come off rather than be covered again.
Many Newark homes converted from oil or coal to gas. The result is frequently an oversized flue that runs cool, condenses, and destroys the clay liner from the inside. We check appliance sizing against flue diameter at inspection.
Where homes share walls or sit right on the line, flashing at that junction is the critical detail and staging space is limited. Both get planned before the crew arrives.

Yes — Ironbound, Forest Hill, Vailsburg, Weequahic and the surrounding neighborhoods. Newark is about twenty-five minutes from our Garfield shop and it is one of our most active service areas.
It is a separate system on the same job. The pitched front takes shingle; the flat or low-slope rear takes a membrane. Both are in one estimate, but they are genuinely different assemblies and any quote that treats them as one is a problem.
We work that out before scheduling, including permitted street placement where there is no driveway. It is part of the planning, not something we figure out the morning the crew shows up.
It is worth checking. Conversions often leave a flue far larger than the new appliance requires, which causes condensation damage to the liner over time. A correctly sized stainless liner is the permanent fix.
