Roof Repair in Scotch Plains, NJ

A damaged roof doesn't wait for a convenient time. Whether you're dealing with a leak that just appeared after last night's storm, missing shingles you noticed from the driveway, or water stains spreading across your ceiling, getting it fixed quickly prevents small problems from turning into expensive ones.

Common Roof Repairs in Scotch Plains

Scotch Plains homes face specific repair challenges based on the local housing stock and weather patterns. With Scotch Plains's suburban township with spacious homes on larger lots, many in wooded settings, we see specific roofing patterns unique to this community. These conditions mean we frequently handle:

• Leak repair and water intrusion — tracking the source and sealing it permanently, not just patching symptoms
• Storm damage restoration — missing shingles, lifted flashing, and impact damage from wind and hail events
• 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 repair of localized damage
• 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 even when shingles are still good

When you call us about a roof issue at your Scotch Plains home, here's exactly what happens:

1. Same-day or next-day inspection — we're only 25 miles from Scotch Plains, so response times are fast

Repair vs. Replace: Honest Assessment

We'll tell you straight: if your Scotch Plains 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 Union County is built on honest assessments.
