Lincoln Park Roofs and the Water Around Them
Lincoln Park sits at about 180 feet, the lowest ground of any town we serve, beside the Passaic and Pompton rivers. The county hazard plan lists five sources that overflow into its low-lying areas: the Passaic, the Pompton, Beaver Dam Brook, East Ditch and West Ditch. The flood of 1903 still holds the record at both river gauges, even after Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. None of that touches the shingles, but it changes the job a roof has to do. Every gallon that runs off it needs a route away from a house that may already have water nearby.
The housing is mostly 1970s; the census median build year is 1975. On a house of that age we look first at the gutters and the downspout outlets, then at original flashing around chimneys and vent pipes, which tends to give out at the same time as the shingles around it. After that we go into the attic for stains, damp insulation and blocked vents.
Any New Jersey contractor’s registration can be looked up on the Division of Consumer Affairs website, and ours is HIC #13VH10877700. Our liability certificate ($1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate) is in your hands before work starts, and our GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred status shows up in both manufacturers’ online contractor search tools.

Roof and Drainage Work in Lincoln Park
Gutters built for a hard rain
On a house this low, a gutter that overflows drops water right at the foundation. We check the pitch, outlet size and hangers, replace runs that sag, add a downspout where one outlet is draining too much roof, and extend the discharge away from the house. See gutter work.
Original flashing on 1970s houses
Unless someone has replaced it, the flashing around a chimney or plumbing stack is as old as the house. When the sealant dries out and the metal lifts, water runs down inside the wall or the chimney chase. We replace the flashing rather than caulk over it, and repoint the chimney where the mortar has gone. See roof repair and chimney repair.
When a roof has reached the end
Architectural asphalt generally lasts 20 to 30 years in New Jersey, so an original 1970s roof, or an early replacement, may be at that point. We count layers first. R908.3.1 allows two at most, so a roof that already has two must be stripped to the deck. During a tear-off we look for old water damage in the sheathing and fix the ventilation while the ridge is open. See roof replacement.
A note on permits: New Jersey treats re-roofing a detached one- or two-family house as ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, so a construction permit is not usually needed. Attached homes, townhouses and condos included, are the exception. Lincoln Park’s Building Department is at 34 Chapel Hill Road; the number is 973-694-6100.
Lincoln Park Roofing Questions
How quickly can you get here from Rockaway?
Lincoln Park is about 16.6 miles from our office, roughly 25 minutes heading east on I-80. Call 973-960-7921 at any hour. With an active leak we stop the water first and quote the permanent repair once the roof is dry enough to inspect properly.
Will roof work help keep water out of my basement?
The roof alone will not, but the drainage that goes with it can help. A 1,500-square-foot roof sheds roughly 900 gallons in an inch of rain. If the gutters overflow or the downspouts empty beside the foundation, that water ends up against the basement wall. Fixing it will not stop river flooding, but it removes one source you can control.
My roof looks fine from the street. Could it still be failing?
Yes. Curled tabs, bald patches where granules are gone and lifted flashing are hard to spot from the ground. A free roof inspection takes about half an hour and tells you what is actually up there.
We also serve neighboring Pequannock, Montville and Kinnelon, and the rest of Morris County. For a free written estimate on a Lincoln Park roof, call 973-960-7921 or send a message through the contact page.
