Elizabeth's roofs look different from the suburbs around it. Much of the city is two- and three-family frame houses, brick buildings with flat roofs, rowhouses that share a roofline and stores with apartments above. Many have a pitched shingle roof in front and a flat or low-slope section in back, and the joint between the two is where a lot of leaks start.
Where we work in Elizabeth
Elizabeth was founded in 1664 and is one of the oldest cities in New Jersey, so a lot of its housing is old and closely packed. The city sits on Newark Bay, and nor'easters and summer thunderstorms can hit the east side hard. On multi-family buildings a leak is not just your problem, it is a tenant's ceiling too, which is why we schedule around tenants and give you before, during and after photos for your records.
Most roofers in Union County are set up for single-family colonials. We work on both: flat roofs on two- and three-family houses, shingle roofs in Elmora and the North End, and the transition between the two. We give you separate pricing per roof section or per building so you can plan work in stages, and the same crew rebuilds back porches, stairs and siding. Book a free inspection.

Herts restores a roof in Linden, NJ after a heavy wind storm caused damage.
See this project“Jimmy was our rep and I couldn't speak more highly of Jimmy and the Herts team. Customer service was a 10/10 as well as the job.”
“My roof looks great. It was hard to find a good reputable company. Your process was seamless and to the point.”
“Punctual, professional, and communicated clearly throughout the process.”
Yes. Flat and low-slope roofs are a big part of what we do in Elizabeth, especially on two- and three-family houses and buildings with stores downstairs. We repair seams, drains and flashing, and we replace worn-out flat roofs with EPDM rubber and other low-slope systems.
If the leak is in one spot and the rest of the membrane is still flexible and well attached, a repair usually makes sense. If there is water under the membrane, soft decking or years of patches on top of patches, replacing it is usually cheaper in the long run. We show you photos and price both when both are reasonable.
We plan that before the job starts. Sometimes a smaller trailer fits where a dumpster will not. If the container has to go on the street, we take care of any permit the city requires and keep it covered and tidy.
Yes. We give you the schedule ahead of time so you can let tenants know, and we keep the work area safe and clean each day. Interior access is usually only needed if we are checking for leaks from inside.
We inspect, photograph and document the damage, and we can meet your adjuster. Whether the claim is approved is up to your insurer, and we never waive or cover deductibles.
