Roofing in Lodi, NJ

What commercial-roofing Includes

Commercial work starts with a roof inspection and a written roof estimate. We map the full scope of work before touching anything.

• Core sampling and moisture scans on built-up roof and modified bitumen assemblies
• Membrane replacement or recoating: TPO, EPDM, and PVC membrane systems
• Standing-seam panel and metal panel retrofit over failing substrate
• Parapet, coping, and scupper detailing
• Tear-off, dumpster staging, and magnetic debris sweep

Flat sections get tapered insulation, new cover board, and ponding water correction. Steep sections get underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and drip edge.

Everything closes out with flashing, sealant, and a walkthrough.

Quality & Materials Standards

Material choice follows the deck, not a sales script. Slate and clay tile need reinforced framing; asphalt shingle and architectural shingle suit most Lodi slopes. Wood shake and cedar shake get batten and counterbatten detailing.

On low-slope roofs we weigh membrane, modified bitumen, and elastomeric coating options. Coatings need correct coverage rate and cure time, or they blister. UV degradation is the quiet killer on older bitumen.

Code compliance covers ventilation, ice-and-water shield, and fastener schedules. A proper roof deck means plywood or OSB sheathing that isn't rotted at the eave.

Storm damage claims move faster with claim documentation, photos, and measurements. Your adjuster compares our scope of work to policy coverage.

We track deductible, depreciation, and replacement cost so you know the real number. A supplement covers what the first estimate missed. That's honest mitigation, not padding.
