Roofing in Bayonne, NJ

Salt spray off Newark Bay and the Kill Van Kull corrodes flashing, fasteners, and gutter hangers long before the shingles fail. That is why every job starts with a roof inspection of the roofline, roof deck, and rooftop ventilation.

Winter brings heavy wet snow that refreezes at the eave and forms an ice dam. Meltwater wicks under the shingles, soaks the underlayment, rots the decking, and stains ceilings. Ice-and-water shield, a new drip edge, and clear soffit venting break that cycle.

Victorian-era row houses and brownstones hide mansard, gambrel, and gable rooflines behind parapet walls. Water seeps past the counter-flashing and coping, then peels the fascia paint. We reseal those laps by hand rather than smear mastic over a gap.

Two-family homes and 1940s-1960s single-family houses need the same care with tenants living below. Our roofers contain debris, stage the dumpster off the walkway, and run the nail gun and air compressor during reasonable hours.

• Steep-slope coverings — wood shake, cedar shake, slate, clay tile, and concrete tile sit beside the usual asphalt shingle, architectural shingle, and three-tab shingle roofs we tear off or recover.
• Underlayment — old roofing felt and tar paper come off, then synthetic underlayment and a self-adhered ice-and-water shield bond down with roofing adhesive.
• Flat and low-slope — low-pitch EPDM, TPO, and PVC membrane roofs, modified bitumen, and built-up roof sections get a reflective roof coating or a torch-applied layer over a dry substrate.
• Metal roofing — a standing-seam panel or corrugated panel locks over purlins and counterbattens, with each fastener and screw set to the right depth.
• Ridge, hip, and rake — ridge vent, ridge cap, and rake or verge trim get refit so attic heat escapes instead of baking the roof deck.
• Penetrations — chimney flashing, skylight curbs, dormer walls, pipe flashing, boot flashing, and pipe boot seals are rebuilt with caulk, sealant, and roof cement.
• Water management — gutter and downspout installation, valley, step, and apron flashing, scuppers, snow guards, and small canopy tie-ins handle waterproofing in one pass.
• Ventilation — soffit vents, an attic fan, and balanced intake keep insulation and the vapor barrier dry, which trims summer cooling costs.
• Deck and structure — sagging plywood or OSB sheathing, rafters, joists, trusses, and the ridge beam get checked against local building code before anything covers them.
• Tear-off day — roofing shovels, pry bars, and a nail gun on an air compressor strip the old roof while a ladder, scaffold, and safety harness anchor keep the crew secure.
