Riverdale Roofing Contractors | Reliable Roofing Services in Riverdale, NJ

Roofing Work We Do in Riverdale, NJ

These are the jobs we are called out for in Riverdale and what each one involves here.

• Roof Repair: We repair what is leaking rather than what is easiest to reach. In Riverdale that usually means the original detailing giving up before the covering does – not the field of the roof. Emergency call-outs 24 hours a day on 973-960-7921. See roof repair.
• Roof Installation: New roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and new builds in Riverdale, built as a system: ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, starter course, GAF or Owens Corning shingles, new flashing and a vented ridge. See roof installation.
• Roof Replacement: Full tear-off to the deck, the deck inspected and soft sheets replaced at a rate agreed before we start. With a median build year of 1996 in Riverdale, we check how many layers are already up there before quoting, because that decides whether it is a recover or a strip. See roof replacement.
• Roof Maintenance: Two visits a year – the spring one finds what the winter did, the autumn one clears the gutters and checks the flashing before the first freeze. On Riverdale roofs the autumn visit is the one that matters most. See roof maintenance and gutter cleaning.
• Roof Inspection: Shingles, flashing, valleys, eaves and the attic, with the layers already on the deck counted and the whole thing written down. Worth doing before you buy a house in Riverdale and after any storm. See roof inspection.

Common Questions About Roofing in Riverdale

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Riverdale?

Under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)1x, replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house in New Jersey counts as ordinary maintenance, so no construction permit is needed. Attached homes – townhouses and condominiums – are not covered by that exemption and do need one. The office to ask is the Construction Department, 91 Newark-Pompton Turnpike, shared with Pompton Lakes, on 973-835-0143.

How quickly can you get to Riverdale?

It is about 19.8 miles from Rockaway, roughly 27 minutes via I-80 east to I-287 north, then NJ-23. 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day, every day. For an active leak we come out, make it safe and dry, and talk about the permanent repair afterwards.

How many layers of roofing are allowed in Riverdale?

Two. New Jersey Residential Code R908.3.1 forbids a recover over a roof that already carries two applications of roof covering, and a replacement has to come off down to the deck. A quote for a third layer is a quote to break the code.

What should I expect to find under a Riverdale roof of this age?

Usually one layer and a sound deck, which keeps the job predictable. With a median build year of 1996 the common issues are original flashing reaching the end of its life and attic ventilation that was adequate in theory and blocked in practice. Both are cheap to put right while the roof is off.
