Tell us about the building and we can usually say what the job involves before anyone goes up.
The same building, twice a decade apart. The first time, a new covering went straight over the old one — quicker, cheaper, and it looked fine from the street. The second time there was no choice: two layers were already up, the code allows no third, and what came off revealed sheathing that had been quietly wet for years under a roof nobody had ever looked at.
That job cost more than doing it properly the first time would have, and the owner had paid twice to get there.
So we built the business around stripping to the deck and looking at what is underneath before anything new goes on. It is slower on the day and it is the cheaper answer across the life of the roof.
That is the whole business. Roofs taken off properly and put back as a system, in Newark and the towns around it.
Before anyone goes up, these tell us more than a photograph of the roof does: what the building is, roughly how old the roof is, and whether it has been re-covered before.
The third matters most. If a covering has already been laid over the original, New Jersey permits no third application — the tear-off is mandatory, and that changes both the price and the programme before anything else is discussed.
