Multi-family houses in the North Ward, Vailsburg and the Ironbound often have a pitched shingle roof in front and a low-slope or flat section in back. Those two areas need different materials, and the transition between them is where most leaks start. In Forest Hill you'll find larger early-1900s homes with steeper roofs, dormers and chimneys that need careful flashing work.
Neighborhoods we work in
Most Newark homes were built between the 1870s and the 1930s, so many roofs here sit on 100-year-old framing, with old shingles layered on top and a flat section over the back. Storms like Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Hurricane Ida in 2021 showed where those roofs are weakest: lifted shingles, overflowing gutters and leaks at the flashing. If your house is this age, a full inspection before you get a price saves you from surprises later.
Herts Roofing & Construction knows what is under a Newark roof before we climb the ladder: plank decking on the pre-war multi-families, a pitched front that meets a flat rear section, and party-wall flashing shared with the house next door. We inspect all of it, including the flat back roof many quotes skip, and price the tear-off, deck repair and flashing up front. The same Herts crew handles siding and rear porches and decks, so the whole house gets done right. Book a free inspection.
Full tear-off, deck repair, ice & water barrier, synthetic underlayment and Owens Corning shingles.
