What Linden roofs are usually dealing with

A lot of Linden was built quickly after World War II. Drive through Sunnyside, the streets off Wood Avenue or the blocks near the train station and you will see Cape Cods, small colonials, ranches and split-levels from the 1940s through the '60s. They are solid houses, but many are on their second or third roof and share the same weak spots.

Where we work in Linden

SunnysideTremleyTremley PointOff Wood AveNear the train stationNear Wheeler Park
  1. Cape Cod ice dams and hot bedroomsUpstairs rooms sit right under the roof with little room for insulation or airflow, so heat melts snow that refreezes at the edge. We fix it with balanced soffit and ridge ventilation, air sealing and ice and water barrier, not just new shingles.
  2. Layers of old shinglesMany Linden homes have two layers of shingles. We remove both, replace any bad decking at a price you see first, and install a complete GAF, Owens Corning or CertainTeed system.
  3. Tired aluminum sidingDecades-old aluminum siding is dented, chalky and will not hold paint. Replacing it is the best time to add house wrap and insulation board behind vinyl or fiber cement.
Homes & storms

What Linden homeowners should know about their roof

Linden became a township in 1861 and a city in 1925. The city is flat and fairly open toward the Arthur Kill, so strong wind from a nor'easter or summer storm can lift shingles and ridge caps. If you find shingles in the yard or a new ceiling stain after a storm, call us: we inspect, take photos and tarp the roof if needed.

We are right next door in Cranford and know Linden's housing well: Capes with knee-wall attics, ranches with long, under-ventilated attics, and original small gutters with one downspout per side. When we replace a roof here we look at ventilation and insulation too, and the same crew handles siding, seamless gutters and decks with proper footings and a flashed ledger. Book a free inspection.

Linden roofing questions

Why does my Cape Cod get ice dams every winter?

Most Cape Cods have upstairs rooms right under the roof with little space for insulation and airflow. Heat escapes into the roof, melts the snow, and the water refreezes at the cold edge. Fixing it takes balanced intake and exhaust ventilation, better insulation and air sealing, and ice and water barrier at the eaves.

How much does a new roof cost in Linden?

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 pick. Use the ballpark calculator above for a rough range, then we give you a written price with material options after a free inspection.

Can you put new siding over my old aluminum siding?

We usually recommend taking the old aluminum off. That lets us check the wood underneath, fix any rot and add house wrap and insulation board before the new siding goes on. Covering it hides problems you pay for later.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing is available on roof replacements and larger projects. Ask about it at your estimate and we will send you the options.

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, and we never waive or cover deductibles.
