Completed composite deck with aluminum railings by Randy's Roofing Construction

Roofs Under a Lot of Trees

If you live in Fair Lawn, you probably know the sound of acorns on the roof and the chore of scooping out gutters every fall. The borough's mature street trees are a big part of its appeal, and they are also behind a large share of the roof calls we get here: clogged gutters, wet fascia, moss on shaded slopes and valleys packed with leaves.

Much of the housing is mid-century, with colonials, Cape Cods and split-levels on regular suburban lots, along with the older planned homes of Radburn. Capes with finished upstairs rooms need special attention, because knee walls and sloped ceilings leave very little space for air to move under the roof deck. Poor airflow there shows up as hot bedrooms in summer, ice dams in winter and shingles that age faster than they should.

We treat the roof and everything that handles its water as one system. A roof replacement here usually includes new drip edge, properly sized gutters and a close look at the soffit and fascia behind them. Beyond the roof, we also build decks, including a composite deck in Fair Lawn with aluminum railings and built-in lighting.

These are the services most Fair Lawn homeowners ask about. Follow any link for the full details.

Roof Replacement

Everything comes off down to the deck, rotten wood is swapped out, leak barrier goes along the eaves and valleys, and intake and ridge vents are balanced, which matters most on capes with finished attics.

Roof Repair

Shingles cracked by falling branches, leaks along dormer walls and step flashing, and worn pipe boots. We fix whatever is letting water in, not just the stain it left.

Gutters

Seamless gutters with downspouts placed to keep water off walkways and away from basements, plus guards suited to heavy leaf fall.

Soffit & Fascia

Rotted fascia boards replaced and wrapped, and vented soffit installed so the attic can actually draw air in at the eaves.

Decks

Composite and wood decks with railings, stairs and lighting planned around how you use the backyard.

Siding

Vinyl and fiber cement siding, often paired with a new roof or gutters when the whole exterior is due at once.

Common Roof Issues in Fair Lawn

Shade, leaves and mid-century attic design account for most of what we repair in the borough.

Overflowing gutters and rotted fascia. When gutters fill with leaves, water spills over the back edge and soaks the fascia and soffit. By the time the paint peels, the wood behind the gutter is often soft.
Moss and slow drying. North-facing and heavily shaded slopes stay damp long after a rain. Moss and algae hold that moisture against the shingles and gradually lift their edges.
Ice dams on capes. Heat escaping from upstairs rooms melts snow on the upper roof, and the meltwater refreezes at the cold eaves. Ice-and-water shield at the edge and better ventilation are the long-term fix.
Dormer flashing. Shed and gable dormers add sidewalls, corners and short valleys. Missing step flashing, or caulk used where metal belongs, often causes leaks inside closets and along upstairs walls.
Branch damage. Limbs that rub or drop onto the roof scrape off granules, crack shingles and dent gutters. A quick inspection after a storm can catch that damage before it turns into a leak.

Fair Lawn FAQ

Questions from Fair Lawn Homeowners

My gutters overflow every fall. Is that a gutter problem or a roof problem?

Sometimes both. Undersized gutters, too few downspouts or missing drip edge can all cause overflow, and so can heavy leaf fall. We look at the roof edge, fascia and gutters together and tell you which part needs the work.

Why does my Fair Lawn cape get ice dams?

Usually because warm air from the finished second floor escapes into the roof and melts the snow while the eaves stay cold. On a replacement we add ice-and-water shield at the eaves and correct the ventilation; sealing air leaks at the attic floor or knee walls helps too.

Do you need a permit to reroof or build a deck in Fair Lawn?

It depends on the project. We check with the borough building department before work starts and handle the paperwork that applies to your job.

Can you replace the roof and build a deck at the same time?

Yes. Some homeowners combine projects to deal with one contractor and one schedule. We plan the order of work so roofing debris never lands on new decking.
