What Westfield roofs are usually dealing with

A lot of Westfield was built in the first half of the 1900s. On many streets the houses are colonials, Tudors and Victorians with steep roofs, dormers, valleys and original brick chimneys, all sitting under big old oaks and maples. Those details are what make the houses beautiful, and they are also where roofs and gutters wear out first.

Where we work in Westfield

DowntownNear Mindowaskin ParkWychwoodNear Tamaques ParkOff East Broad StOff Central Ave
  1. Steep roofs with lots of anglesMost leaks start where roofs meet dormers, valleys and walls, not in the middle of the shingles. We replace the step flashing, valley metal and counter-flashing instead of tarring over the old metal.
  2. Chimneys that have seen a lot of wintersWorn mortar and old flashing let water in behind the brick. A stain next to the chimney usually means flashing, and it can often be fixed without a new roof.
  3. Trees and full guttersLeaves and seeds clog gutters, water backs up under the first course of shingles, and in winter it becomes ice dams. We run ice and water barrier along every eave and can fit larger gutters and guards.

What Westfield homeowners should know about their roof

Westfield was settled around 1720 as the "west fields" of Elizabethtown and became a township in 1794. Many homes here still have plank sheathing under one or two layers of old shingles, and original wood clapboard or shake under layers of paint. If your house is a designated historic property, check with the town before choosing new siding or roofing, and we will help you gather the product specs and photos for that conversation.

Herts Roofing & Construction in Westfield

We are about ten minutes away in Cranford and work on Westfield's older homes all the time. We tear off to the wood on every replacement, show you photos of anything rotted and price it before we start, and we rebuild flashing at every chimney, dormer and wall. The same crew handles siding that keeps the look of an older house, larger gutters for tree-heavy lots, and composite decks for shady yards. Book a free inspection.

Westfield roofing questions

Can you fix a leak around my chimney without replacing the whole roof?

Often, yes. On older Westfield homes, most chimney leaks come from worn flashing or cracked mortar, not bad shingles. We can re-flash the chimney, add a cricket behind it if needed and repair the mortar joints. If the roof is near the end of its life anyway, we will say so and show you photos.

What siding works best on older Westfield homes?

If you want to keep the look of the original clapboard or shake, fiber cement or a better-grade vinyl with a deep wood-grain profile is usually the best fit. We bring samples so you can see them against your house before deciding.

Do I need a permit for a new deck in Westfield?

In most cases, yes. New decks and deck rebuilds almost always need a permit, and we handle the application with the town. For roofing and siding, whether you need a permit depends on the scope, so we check with the town before the job starts.

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.
