Find the real leak. Fix it once.

We find where water gets in, why, and fix the cause. Not the stain.

From real North Jersey roofs

What to watch out for, and how we fix it.

Is it the chimney? A pipe boot? A skylight? Here's what we found on real North Jersey roofs, and what we did about it.

Failing penetrations

What we found: Corroded flashing and exposed nail heads around the roof openings. Every one is a way in for water.

What we did: Re-flashed all five penetrations at once: skylight, chimney, power fan, pipe boot and exhaust cap (Lincoln Park).

Architectural flaws

What we found: Tight angles, windows set into the roof, walls that meet the roof in awkward spots. These details leak when they’re caulked instead of built right.

What we did: Rebuilt the window pan, sill waterproofing and flashing so water runs out, not in (Montclair).

Damaged pipe boot

What we found: The rubber collar dried out and split. Water follows the pipe down into the attic.

What we did: Replaced it with new pipe boot flashing. Caulk is not a repair.

Excess sealant or caulking

What we found: An old exhaust cap smothered in sealant to stop a leak. Sealant cracks in the sun and the leak comes back.

What we did: Replaced it with a new exhaust cap, flashed into the roof.

Chimney leaks

What we found: No two leaks are the same.

What we did: Our team finds the root of the leak and builds a solution for that roof, not a one-size patch.

It's not a pretty job. It gets done the right way.

A chimney flashing, start to finish. Most of this ends up hidden. That's exactly why we photograph it.

Custom metal work

Hand-formed copper step and wall flashing. Most roofers don't do this kind of work; we do it in-house.

Repair or replace

You get both prices. You choose.

A repair makes sense when…

  • The damage is in one area
  • The deck under it is solid
  • The rest of the roof has good years left

Replacing makes sense when…

  • Shingles are curling or bare across the roof
  • Leaks keep showing up in new spots
  • The deck is soft or rotted
"He gave 2 quotes, one to do some maintenance to extend the life of the current roof by 5 years or so, and another for the full replacement."
