Repair or Replace? How Roofers Make the Call
The factors that tip a roof one way or the other.
ROOFING SERVICES
Six pages, one for each kind of roof work. If none of them quite fits, describe the roof on the phone.
Roofing in Newark covers more ground than most people expect. A leak repair on a shingled single-family is a different job from re-covering a flat roof between two parapet walls, and slate is a craft of its own. Gutters, flashing and chimneys cause enough leaks to deserve their own page. Roofing contractors reached at (973) 528-8938 handle repairs, replacements, flat roofs, slate, storm damage and gutters on homes and two- and three-family buildings.
Gutters, downspouts, parapet caps and chimney flashing.
