Roof Repair in Hillcrest, Paterson: what actually fails

Hillcrest repairs come back again and again to two places. One is the chimney, where step flashing meets the brick; the other is the line where a later addition or dormer joins the original roof. Both are checked before anyone touches the open field of shingles.

A Second Ward neighborhood with a mix of upper- and middle-class homes, where post-war single-family houses and two-families sit among older ones.

  • Chimney step flashing where brick meets shingle
  • The fall on a later flat roof
  • Two-family roofs over two households
  • The joint where an addition meets the original roof

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. 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.
  2. Ask for the joint to be checked firstBefore anyone prices a whole roof, ask them to look at where the flat section meets the pitched one. A found entry point is a smaller bill.

Note 01How 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 02How urgent is roof repair?

It depends on what the water is doing. Water coming in now, near anything electrical, or showing in another unit is urgent. A cracked shingle over a dry ceiling can wait for a dry week.

Note 03Why is my roof leaking around the chimney?

Almost never because of the brick. It is the step flashing where the brick meets the roof, or counter-flashing that has pulled out of the mortar. Both are rebuilt, not tarred over.
