Pequannock Roofers | Professional Roof Repair & Installation in Pequannock, NJ
We have been putting roofs on Pequannock houses since 2012. We work out of 9 Stony Brook Road in Rockaway – about 19.4 miles and 29 minutes away via I-80 east to I-287 north, then US-202 and the Newark-Pompton Turnpike – and a second office in Flanders. Riverdale and Washington Township are on the same run. The calls from this town are usually water at the eaves rather than a hole in the roof. We do roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, roof maintenance and roof inspection, and the chimney repair and gutter work that go with them.

Pequannock Roofs Where Three Rivers Meet
Pequannock sits at the low point where the Pequannock, Pompton and Wanaque rivers come together, and the county hazard plan places 18.3% of its residents inside the 1% annual-chance floodplain. After Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 the Pompton River crested at a record 25.2 feet and more than a quarter of the township flooded. The township now employs a full-time Flood Resilience Officer, and FEMA has published a case study of its project to elevate seven homes that had drawn 40 repetitive and severe repetitive loss claims.
A roof cannot hold back a river, but on a house this close to one it should not add water to the problem. With a census median build year of 1966, many houses in Pequannock and Pompton Plains have older gutters, small downspouts and eaves that have taken years of overflow. That is where we start: the gutter line, the fascia behind it and the first few courses of shingles. Then the attic, where a wet rafter usually sits uphill of the stain you see on the ceiling.
Proof of insurance comes on paper before we set up: our general liability certificate shows $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate. New Jersey also requires home improvement contractors to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs; our number is 13VH10877700, searchable on the state site. GAF and Owens Corning both publish their certified contractors online, and we appear on each list.

What We Do on Pequannock Roofs
Eave and gutter repairs after heavy rain
Most rain calls here come down to water getting in at the eaves. A blocked outlet or a downspout that has stopped draining sends water over the back of the gutter, rotting the fascia and soaking the starter course. We clear and reroute the drainage, replace rotted fascia, and relay the damaged courses with ice-and-water membrane underneath. See gutter work and roof repair.
Re-roofing a 1960s house
By now a typical 1966 house has had at least one replacement, sometimes as an overlay. Since R908.3.1 caps a roof at two layers, a second overlay is off the table and the old roofing has to come off. With the deck open we repair rot along the eaves, which is common where gutters overflowed for years, and balance the ventilation. See roof replacement.
Inspections before you buy near the river
Houses in and near the floodplain deserve a careful look before purchase. Our written roof inspection covers the roof surface, flashing, gutters and downspouts, and the attic for signs of past leaks.
Permits and the Historic District Commission
Re-roofing a detached one- or two-family home is ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, so the state does not normally require a construction permit; attached homes such as townhouses and condos do need one. Pequannock’s Construction Department works out of 99 Alexander Avenue in Pompton Plains, 973-835-5700. If your house has a Historic Landmark classification under Chapter 360 of the township code, ask the township whether its Historic District Commission needs to see the plans before you change materials.
Questions from Pequannock and Pompton Plains
How long is the drive from your Rockaway office?
About 29 minutes for 19.4 miles: I-80 east, I-287 north, then US-202 and the Newark-Pompton Turnpike. Someone answers 973-960-7921 24 hours a day.
Does Pequannock’s flood risk change how you build a roof?
The materials are the same; the drainage plan gets more thought. We size gutters and downspouts for the roof area each one serves, add outlets so no single downspout carries too much, and send the discharge away from the foundation in the direction the lot already drains.
Should I wait until after the spring floods to replace my roof?
There is no need to time a roof around the river. Roof work depends on dry days and on temperatures warm enough for the shingle sealant to bond, not on river levels. If water in the house is coming from above, fixing it sooner keeps the damage to the ceilings and insulation from growing.
We also work in neighboring Lincoln Park, Riverdale and Kinnelon, and throughout Morris County. For a free written estimate, call 973-960-7921 or reach us on the contact page.
