What Livingston roofs are usually dealing with

Most of Livingston was built after World War II, when the township grew fast. That means streets of split-levels, ranches and colonials, many of them since expanded with second stories, additions and new dormers. Mature trees line most neighborhoods.

  1. Where old roof meets newAdditions and second stories create joints between roof sections of different ages. Those tie-ins and roof-to-wall joints are the most common leak spots, and they need new step and counter flashing.
  2. Low-slope sectionsSplit-levels and ranches often have low-pitch areas over porches and additions where shingles do not belong. Those sections need a flat roof membrane or the right underlayment for the pitch.
  3. Full gutters and ice damsLeaves from mature trees clog gutters, water backs up at the roof edge, and in winter that turns into ice dams. We run ice and water barrier along every eave and size gutters for the roof.
Before you hire

What Livingston homeowners should know about their roof

A lot of Livingston roofs are on their second or third replacement, and some earlier roofs were installed right over the old one. A full tear-off often turns up two layers of shingles and some soft decking. Before you sign with any roofer, ask how many layers are coming off and how they will price rotted plywood if they find it.

We come to Livingston from our office in Cranford. We price the tear-off, deck repair and flashing up front, show you photos of anything we find under the old roof, and the same crew handles siding, gutters and decks. Book a free inspection.

Livingston roofing questions

How fast can you come out to Livingston?

We schedule estimates quickly from our Cranford office. For active leaks we offer 24/7 emergency service and can tarp the roof until the repair is done. Call 908-206-4240.

Can you match a new roof on an addition to the rest of the house?

New shingles rarely match an older roof exactly, because the old ones have faded. Often the best answer is to replace the whole roof at once. If your main roof still has good years left, we will tell you and get as close a match as we can.

Do I need a permit for a new roof in Livingston?

It depends on the job. We check with Livingston's construction office before we start and pull the permit whenever one is required, so you don't have to deal with it.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Livingston?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many old layers come off, how much decking needs replacing and the shingle you choose. Use the ballpark calculator above for a rough range, then we give you an exact written price after a free inspection.

Can you help with a storm damage claim?

We inspect, photograph and document the damage, and we can meet your adjuster. Whether the claim is approved is up to your insurer.
