Roof Repair in Roselle Park, NJ

Roofing in Roselle Park

Roselle Park is a small, densely built borough just north of Roselle, split off from it in 1901. Westfield Avenue runs through the middle of town, and the Raritan Valley Line station brings commuters in and out every day. Most of the housing is older colonials, Cape Cods and two-family homes set close together on narrow lots.

Houses this close together make roofing jobs a bit more involved. Roofers have to protect neighboring roofs, siding and cars, work around shared or tight driveways, and be careful with debris. Good cleanup isn't optional here.

Common roofing jobs in Roselle Park

• Chimney flashing and brick-related leaks on older homes
• Storm damage from branches on the borough's tree-lined streets
• Full tear-off and replacement on roofs past 20 years
• Flat roofs on enclosed porches and rear additions
• Leaks from worn pipe boots and valleys

Winter problems

Older Roselle Park homes often have attics with limited insulation and ventilation. In snowy winters that leads to ice dams along the eaves, which push water under the shingles and into walls and ceilings. If you've seen icicles hanging along your gutters and stains on the ceilings near outside walls, read our ice dam guide - the permanent fix is usually in the attic, not just on the roof.
