Union City roofs take a beating. The salt air off the Hudson River, the nor'easters that roll in from the Atlantic, the summer humidity that hangs over the Palisades — all of it works on your roof year-round. We've seen it on the brick rowhouses along Bergenline Avenue, the mid-rise buildings near the Lincoln Tunnel approach, and the garden apartments tucked into the West Side. That's why we're here: to help you fix the damage before it gets worse.
Water is patient. It seeps through a cracked flashing boot, wicks along the roof deck, and rots the plywood underneath before you ever see a stain on your ceiling. By the time the leak shows up inside, the damage is already done. We find the entry point, trace the path, and fix the root cause — not just the spot where the water drips.
Our crew uses the same methods on every roof, whether it's a three-flat on the Hudson River waterfront or a single-family on the West Side. We tear off the old shingles down to the deck when they're curling and brittle. We inspect the substrate for rot and decay. We replace any soft spots, then lay down a self-adhered ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys. The field courses go on with ring-shank nails, staggered so every joint is covered. We hand-seal the laps and flashings, and we clean up every nail and scrap before we leave. That's the standard.
Storm damage is a different animal. A nor'easter can peel back a whole section of shingles in one night. We've seen granule loss on roofs that looked fine from the street, and we've seen sagging decks that had been leaking for years. If you've had a storm, call us. We'll inspect the roof, document the damage, and help you with the insurance claim — we've done it hundreds of times, and we know what the adjusters look for.
We serve every part of Union City — the Bergenline Avenue corridor, the Hudson River waterfront, the West Side, and Downtown Union City. If you're not sure whether we cover your block, call us at 8778540330. We'll tell you straight. We also handle roofs in Newark, Jersey City, and the surrounding towns, but Union City is home base.
Multi-family buildings have their own challenges. If you manage a rowhouse or a mid-rise, you know that tenant disruption is a real concern. We schedule our work in phases, contain the debris with tarps and magnets, and make sure the tear-off doesn't leave nails in the parking lot. We also prioritize emergency leak calls — if a roof opens up during a storm, we get there fast to stop the water from ruining ceilings and walls.
We stand behind our work with a warranty that covers both materials and labor. We're licensed and insured, and we've been serving Union City since 2011. If you need a roof repair, a replacement, or just an honest opinion, give us a call. We'll come out, take a look, and tell you exactly what you need — no pressure, no jargon.
