Try "ice dam", "financing", "Montclair", "flat roof coating" or "Colombia".
A leak shows up on the ceiling; it almost never starts there. We trace the water from the attic to the flashing, the pipe collar or the course of shingles that failed, fix that, and photograph it so you see what was done. Same-day emergency response, 24 hours a day.
Shingle roofs fail at the details. Six patterns cover most of the repair calls we get from New Jersey homeowners.
Usually: flashing at a chimney, vent pipe or sidewall, or a cracked pipe collar. The shingles are often fine.
We do: trace the path from the attic, reflash the penetration, replace the collar, reseal. Photos before and after.
Usually: a wind event on shingles that lost their seal, or a roof past 15 years.
We do: replace the damaged courses, re-seal the surrounding tabs, check the ridge. If it is widespread, we say so.
Usually: ice dams at the eaves, melting snow backing up under the shingles.
We do: clear the dam safely, add ice and water shield where it is missing, fix the attic ventilation that caused it.
Usually: nails driven high or deck movement; each one is a future leak.
We do: reset or replace the nails, seal every head, inspect the courses around them.
Usually: algae and shade; cosmetic at first, then water held against the shingle.
We do: soft-wash, clear valleys and gutters, and where it fits, a protective sealer. Never a pressure blast.
Usually: an insurance matter as much as a roofing one.
We do: tarp the same day, document everything for your insurer, meet the adjuster if needed, then repair or replace.
We quote both when it is close. These are the rules of thumb our inspectors use; your report says which side your roof is on.
| What we find | Repair | Replace |
|---|---|---|
| Age of the roof | Under 15 years | Over 20 years, or unknown with widespread wear |
| Where the damage is | One area, one cause (a storm, a flashing, a tree) | Several areas with different causes |
| Shingle condition | Flat, sealed, granules intact | Curling, cupping, granule loss down to the mat |
| Decking | Solid underfoot, dry attic side | Soft spots, stains or mold on the sheathing |
| Leak history | First leak, or the same spot once | Repeated leaks at different places |
| Your plans | Selling within a few years, or budget now | Staying ten years or more |
A repair on a roof that should be replaced is money spent twice. A replacement on a roof that only needed a flashing is money wasted. Either way, the inspection report tells you with photos, and you decide.

Honest ranges from our own jobs. The written estimate after the inspection is free and exact.

We match brand, profile and colour as closely as the catalogue allows, but shingles weather and an exact match is rare on an older roof. On a visible slope we tell you that before we start.
Emergencies the same day in most cases, and always within 48 hours. Non-urgent repairs are scheduled within a few days of the estimate.
Yes. Intermittent leaks are usually wind-driven rain at a flashing or ice dams in winter. We inspect from the attic side, use infrared moisture scanning where needed, and test with water when the source is not obvious.
Yes. Repair work carries a written workmanship warranty; the length depends on the repair and is on the proposal.
We photograph and document the damage in the format adjusters expect, provide the written estimate, and meet the adjuster on site if you ask us to.
Sometimes. A single flashing leak on a 22-year-old roof that you plan to sell next year is worth a repair. The same roof with curling shingles and three leaks is not. The table above is how we decide, and we quote both when it is close.
