Most Hackensack homes near downtown and Fairmount are colonials and two-families from the late 1800s and early 1900s, with mid-century houses farther out. Many have been re-roofed more than once, not always well. Hurricane Sandy's winds in 2012 and Ida's flooding in 2021 exposed a lot of old shortcuts around chimneys and porch roofs.
Herts Roofing & Construction knows most Hackensack homes have been worked on before, sometimes well and sometimes not. We look closely at what earlier roofers left behind: layers over layers, caulk where flashing should be, porch roofs with too little slope. Then we give you a straight answer on what really needs fixing. Our crews handle roofing, siding and decks from start to finish. Book a free inspection.
The older colonials and two-families near downtown and Fairmount tend to have steep roofs, chimneys and front porches with their own low roofs. On newer homes, the most common problem is poor attic ventilation that wears out shingles early.
Front porch roofs are low-slope and tie into the wall of the house. That joint is a common leak point.
Older masonry chimneys need new step and counter flashing. Caulk is not a fix.
Blistering or curling on a newer roof usually means the attic is too hot. We fix the ventilation, too.
Full tear-off, deck repair, ice & water barrier, synthetic underlayment and Owens Corning shingles.

The most common reason is a hot, poorly ventilated attic that bakes the shingles from below. Bad installation, like the wrong nailing or no starter strip, is another. We check for both and explain what we find.
