Union City roofs take a beating. Nor'easters dump heavy snow and ice on the Bergenline Avenue corridor, then the freeze-thaw cycle works on every exposed nail head and flashing seam. High humidity and summer heat push shingles past their service life faster than inland towns. We see granule loss on south-facing slopes first, then the fiberglass mat starts to erode and wick moisture into the deck. Salt spray off the Hudson River corrodes metal flashings and chimney caps, especially within a few blocks of the waterfront.
We work on the old brick rowhouses and tenements in the West Side and Downtown Union City, plus the mid-rise buildings from the 1960s and the garden apartments closer to Paterson Plank Road. Each has its own quirks. The rowhouses have flat roofs with parapets that need regular resealing. The mid-rises have low-slope membranes that delaminate at the seams if they were not installed with a proper tear-off. We handle both, plus the pitched roofs on the converted industrial lofts.
When we work on occupied buildings, we plan the job around the tenants. We contain debris with tarps and magnets, keep the tear-off to a few squares at a time, and schedule the loudest work during reasonable hours. If a leak shows up during a storm, we patch it first and schedule the full repair after. You get a straight answer on what needs fixing now and what can wait.
