Call and say which roof
Tell us the address and what you are seeing: a stain, a drip, shingles in the yard, water standing on the back roof.
The joint first, then each roof
The tie-in between the flat and pitched roofs, then parapets and drains, then chimney, valleys and boots.
A written quote, roof by roof
The pitched roof on its own lines, the flat roof on its own, and the tie-in named between them, with permit status for your building.
The work, then the walkaround
Membrane turned up and fixed, shingles woven in over it, flashing cut into brick rather than caulked.
What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a photograph of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Look at the flat roof from a windowIf a back window looks onto the low roof, check for standing water, a lifted edge or debris at the drain. Do not climb out onto it.

Call (973) 995-9945Note 01What is the cheapest way to repair a roof?
Fix the detail that actually failed, once. On a Paterson house that is often the joint where a flat roof meets the pitched one, and rebuilding that joint costs less than patching the ceiling under it every season.
Note 02How can I get my roof repaired if I have no money?
Start with the smallest repair that stops the water, priced on its own, and ask what can safely wait. A leak caught early at one joint costs far less than the boards, insulation and ceiling it ruins if it runs.
Note 03Should I replace my roof if it's not leaking?
Not usually. A dry roof with sound flashing has life left, whatever its age. Have the joint between the flat and pitched sections looked at, because that is where it will start, and plan from there.
