Roofing for a City With Every Kind of Building

Hackensack doesn't have one typical roof. Within a few blocks you can pass a colonial with a steep gable, a two-family with a flat rear section, a cape with shed dormers and a brick apartment building whose tar roof has been coated more times than anyone remembers. That variety is why we begin every job by working out what kind of roof you actually have before we talk about price.

Many homes in the city are old enough that the original deck has carried several roofs. When a tear-off exposes soft or delaminated sheathing, we replace it with new plywood rather than covering it up, and we mention that possibility in the written quote at the start instead of springing it on you halfway through the job.

Owners of rental property have their own list of concerns: tenants, access, and keeping the building dry while work is underway. We schedule around occupants, protect entrances and walkways, and clean up every day. If you are weighing a repair against a full replacement, our guide to what a new roof costs in NJ explains what drives the number, and financing is available on approved credit.

Roofing Services in Hackensack

Here is what Hackensack property owners call us for most often, with links to the details on each service.

Roof Replacement

Complete tear-off, new plywood wherever the deck has failed, ice-and-water shield in eaves and valleys, new drip edge and a full GAF shingle system with matched ventilation.

Flat & Low-Slope Roofs

Membrane roofs for multifamily buildings, rear additions and porches, with new flashing at parapets, curbs and roof drains instead of yet another layer of coating.

Roof Repair

Leaks at chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights and the joint where a flat section meets a pitched roof. We track down the real entry point, which is often a few feet from the stain.

Emergency Roof Repair

Day or night tarping after wind, fallen branches or a sudden leak, along with photos and measurements for the insurance claim.

Chimney

Repointing, crowns, caps and re-flashing for brick chimneys, plus a cricket behind wide chimneys so water stops collecting on the uphill side.

Gutters

Seamless gutters and downspouts sized for the roof area and routed away from foundations, driveways and the property line on tight lots.

Roof Problems We Find Around Hackensack

Most leaks we trace in the city come back to one of a handful of causes.

Coated-over flat roofs. Older flat roofs on multifamily and mixed-use buildings are often recoated again and again instead of being replaced. A coating can buy time, but once the layers underneath are wet, the leaks wander and the patches stop working.
Parapet and coping leaks. Brick parapets let water in through cracked mortar, failed caps and flashing that has pulled away from the wall. That water can run down inside the masonry and show up well away from the roof.
Where flat meets pitched. Two-families and older houses often have a flat rear section tied into a sloped main roof. That transition leaks when it was built with shingles alone and no membrane lapped up under them.
Worn-out decking. After decades and several roofs, sheathing goes soft from old leaks or poor ventilation. New shingles over a weak deck don't lie flat and don't last as long as they should.
Blocked drains and scuppers. Leaves and debris choke roof drains and scuppers, water ponds, and the membrane gives out where it sits. Regular cleaning heads off a lot of service calls.

Hackensack FAQ

Questions from Hackensack Homeowners

I own a two-family in Hackensack. Can you work while tenants are living there?

Yes. We give you the schedule in advance so you can let tenants know, keep entrances clear, protect cars and landscaping, and leave the site cleaned up at the end of each day.

Should I recoat my flat roof or replace it?

If the membrane is still dry underneath and the seams are mostly sound, a repair or coating can make sense. If we find wet insulation, soft spots or leaks that keep moving, replacement usually costs less over time. We show you what we find so the decision is yours.

Do you handle permits for roof work in Hackensack?

It depends on the scope. We check with the City of Hackensack building department before starting and take care of whatever paperwork is required.

Is there a senior or veteran discount?

Yes. Seniors 65 and older, veterans and active military receive 20% off. If spreading out the cost would help, financing is available on approved credit.
