Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Ridgewood, NJ. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Ridgewood homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
When a Ridgewood homeowner calls us about roof leak repair, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the roof leak repair on your Ridgewood home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Yes, and it is included. A Ridgewood roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Ridgewood ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Ridgewood homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We can usually get a Ridgewood roof covered and stop the water in the middle of weather, but the permanent repair waits for a dry stretch. Sealing something wet just means doing it twice.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
"Tore off two layers of old shingles and found rotten decking underneath. They showed me the boards, told me what the change would cost, and let me decide before going ahead."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"Roofing Brothers do excellent work. They've completed several projects for me and every time the quality has been top notch. They're reliable and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend them!"
