Flat roof replaced on a home in Roselle, NJ
Roof Replacement · Roselle, NJ · completed March 2024
We just finished a flat roof replacement on a home in Roselle, NJ. The homeowner needed a roof that would hold up and keep the water out for years.
The problem
We didn't keep notes on what the old roof looked like. It was past the point of repair, though, and had to come off. A flat roof doesn't shed water the way a pitched roof does, so the new one had to go down right or it wouldn't do its job.
What we did
We tore off the old roofing and put down a new system built for flat roofs. The crew kept the job moving and installed everything correctly and to code.
