Roof Repair in Old Tappan, NJ

Roof damage in Old Tappan can come from anywhere — a fallen branch during a nor'easter, ice dam formation during a cold snap, or simply years of weather wearing down materials. The key is addressing it before water infiltration causes structural damage, mold growth, or interior destruction.

Common Roof Repairs in Old Tappan

Based on the local housing stock and weather patterns in Old Tappan, we frequently handle a range of repair needs specific to Bergen County properties:

• Leak repair and water intrusion — tracking the source and sealing it permanently
• Storm damage restoration — missing shingles, lifted flashing, and impact damage
• Flashing repair — the #1 leak source at chimneys, skylights, vents, and wall junctions
• Ice dam damage — repairing water damage caused by winter ice backup along eaves
• Shingle replacement — matching existing materials for seamless localized repair
• Ridge cap and hip repair — these high-stress areas wear faster than field shingles
• Pipe boot and vent seal replacement — rubber boots deteriorate in 8-12 years

Repair vs. Replace: Honest Assessment

We'll tell you straight: if your Old Tappan roof needs replacement rather than repair, we'll say so. Sinking $3,000 into patching a 25-year-old roof that needs full replacement isn't in your interest. Conversely, we won't push a $15,000 replacement when a $600 flashing repair solves the problem. Our reputation in Bergen County is built on honest assessments.
