Local knowledge

Bergen County roofs at a glance

Lots of pre-war homes

Much of Bergen was built out before 1950: Tudors, colonials and capes in towns like Teaneck, Ridgewood, Glen Rock and Rutherford, many with tall brick chimneys and steep roofs. Those chimneys are now 70–100 years old. Open mortar joints, cracked crowns and rusted flashing are the most common causes of "roof leaks" we're called for here.

Tight lots

In the eastern boroughs houses sit close together. Dumpster placement, protecting the neighbor's siding and keeping the street clear are part of the plan.

Newer, bigger homes in the northwest

Franklin Lakes, Mahwah, Saddle River and Oakland have large colonials with complex roofs: many valleys, dormers, skylights and sometimes flat sections over additions. More flashing, more ventilation work.

Slate and tile

Some older Bergen homes still have slate or clay tile.

Mature street trees

Shade many roofs and fill gutters every fall.

Roof permits in Bergen County

Bergen has 70 municipalities, each with its own construction office. A re-roof generally needs a permit under the NJ code. Some towns (Ridgewood, Englewood and others) also have historic districts where exterior changes are reviewed; we'll check before you choose materials.

FAQ

Bergen County roofing questions

Do you work in eastern Bergen (Teaneck, Fort Lee, Cliffside Park)?

Yes. Those are 35–45 minutes from Pompton Plains, so we schedule them in blocks. Our Instagram shows chimney work in Teaneck and Cliffside Park.

My Tudor has a tall chimney and a leak beside it. Roof or chimney?

Often the chimney: water gets in through the crown or the brick and runs down inside. We check both, which is why being masons as well as roofers matters.

Can you replace a flat roof over a Bergen addition or porch?

Yes. EPDM or modified bitumen, tied into the shingle roof with proper flashing. See flat roofing.

Do you still have an office in Garfield?

No. Our only address is 44 Banta Ave, Pompton Plains.

Do Bergen towns require a permit for a new roof?

Most do, under the NJ Uniform Construction Code. We'll tell you what your town needs.
