Flat Roofing in Jersey City, NJ
Brownstones in the Heights, mid-rise condos in Newport, and old row houses everywhere in between. Almost all flat roofs, and almost all overdue for attention.
Flat Roofing in Jersey City, done right.
Jersey City roofs are mostly flat: the brownstones in the historic neighborhoods (Hamilton Park, Van Vorst, Paulus Hook) have rolled-asphalt or modified-bitumen original roofs that have been patched and recoated for decades. The newer condo and mixed-use construction in Newport and Journal Square is mostly EPDM or TPO. Different materials, same fundamental issue: flat roofs need attention every 10-15 years or they leak.
The other factor here is salt-air exposure. Jersey City sits right on the Hudson, and any metal flashing or fastener corrodes faster here than in inland Bergen towns. We specify marine-grade or copper where the budget allows; otherwise we plan for shorter service life on the metalwork. The same dynamic plays out across the river in Hoboken.

Seam splits on aging EPDM and modified bitumen
Aging flat-roof seams are the leading leak source. Section repair extends life; full replacement resets it.
Salt-corroded flashing and parapet caps
Hudson salt air eats metal hardware. We specify marine-grade or copper where budget allows.
Ponding water from settled rooftops
Old brownstones settle unevenly over time. Water pools, finds seams, gets in. Slope correction during re-roofing fixes the root cause.
Failed roof drains
Clogged or broken drains push water onto interior ceilings. We rebuild drain assemblies during major flat-roof work.
Parapet wall deterioration
Brick parapets crack and let water into wall structure. Repair before re-roofing is critical.

Reviews from the Jersey City area.
After the nor'easter we had eight inches of water in the attic. They had a tarp up within four hours and worked directly with my insurance.
