Call (973) 995-9945Note 01Do I need a permit to replace a roof in NJ?
It depends on the building. The state code treats re-covering a detached one- or two-family dwelling as ordinary maintenance. A three- or four-family, an attached or semi-detached house, or any job that replaces rotted decking is permitted work, which in Paterson is a lot of buildings. The city's construction office is at 111 Broadway, and a historic district adds a review before the permit issues.
Note 02How much does it cost to repair a roof in New Jersey?
Most roof repairs are estimated at $300 to $3,000, and a New Jersey storm-repair guide puts small repairs at $300 to $1,000 and moderate ones at $1,000 to $5,000. A pipe boot or a few shingles sits low; a chimney reflashed into brick, or a flat-to-pitched joint rebuilt, sits higher.
Note 03Is it cheaper to replace a flat roof?
Usually not, while the membrane is sound. Most flat roofs fail at an edge, a seam, a drain or the tie-in to the main roof, and repairing that detail costs far less than a new membrane. Replacement starts to make sense when the membrane is cracked or blistered across the field, when it ponds because it was framed level, or when the pitched roof beside it is being replaced anyway.
Note 04What is the best way to repair a leaking flat roof?
Find the detail that failed and rebuild it in the same membrane system. A flat roof rarely fails in the middle: it fails at a seam, at a drain, where it turns up a parapet, or, very often in Paterson, at the tie-in where it meets the pitched main roof. Sealant over the top may hold a season; a membrane turned up under the shingles and fixed properly is the repair.
