Newark Roofing at a glance
Newark Roofing takes roofing calls for Newark and 25 nearby communities across Essex County. The line is answered around the clock. A local technician looks at the roof, the flashing and the wall or ceiling below it, explains what the repair or replacement involves and gives the price on site. Nothing is started until you have approved it.
Most calls in this city come from one of three places: a ceiling that stains after rain, a sheet or a strip of flashing that the wind has lifted, or a flat or low-slope section that holds water until it finds a seam. Winter adds ice to the list, and the freeze runs from late October to around mid-April. Late-summer storms are the other season, and in recent years remnant tropical systems have brought heavy rain and trees down across northern New Jersey.
Newark roofs are not all alike. A pitched roof on a detached house in Forest Hill, a cornice-edged rowhouse roof on North Broad, and the flat section above a three-decker's top floor each leak in a different place. Describe what you can see and the crew will know where to look first. The flat roof and pitched roof guide explains the routes water takes into a building, and the pricing page sets out what moves a quote.
- How it works
- One call reaches an independent local roofing contractor, who does the work and prices it on site
- Service area
- Newark and 29 nearby neighbourhoods and towns within 25 km in Essex, Hudson, Union, Bergen and Passaic counties, New Jersey
- Address
- Newark, NJ 07102
- Registration and licensing
- New Jersey has historically registered roofers as home improvement contractors with the Division of Consumer Affairs, and a 2023 law is moving the state toward a licence issued by a State Board. Timing has been reported differently by different sources, so ask any roofer for a registration number and check it with the Division before hiring
- Permits
- Some readings of the state code treat like-for-like re-roofing of a detached one- or two-family home as ordinary maintenance; attached, multi-family and historic buildings are different. Confirm with Newark's construction office or your own town's
- Pricing
- Set by the roofer on site; flat versus pitched, tear-off layers, decking and access on tight lots move the quote, so ask for it in writing
- What it covers
- Roof repair and replacement, flat and low-slope roofs, two- and three-family and rowhouse roofs, leaks, storm and wind damage, slate and historic repair, flashing, chimneys, ice dams, gutters, ventilation, metal, skylights, inspections

Why homeowners call us
Why Newark Roofing
Answered at any hour
Storm damage rarely waits for office hours. The line is answered around the clock, and a technician is sent as soon as one is free.
Built around the building
Two-family houses, rowhouse cornices and attached flat roofs are different jobs, and the first visit is about which one you have.
Price explained first
The technician sets out the scope and the price on site. Nothing is started until you have said yes.
A local technician
The person who comes out knows the Newark streets, the older stock and the weather that has come through here.
How it works
From phone call to fixed, in four steps
Describe it
Call (833) 751-2102 and say where the leak shows, what the weather was like and what kind of building it is.
Visit
A local technician is sent when one is free and checks the roof, the flashing and the space below.
Approve the price
The scope, the materials and the cost are explained before any work begins.
Repair or replace
Work is carried out and the technician shows you what was done and what to watch.
What kind of roofing call does Newark Roofing take?
Leaks, lifted or missing shingles, failed flashing around chimneys and vents, ponding on flat sections, storm damage after wind or heavy rain, and roofs that need replacing.
Describe the symptom rather than the cure. A stain that grows after rain points to a different fault than one that appears only in a gale, and the technician will want to know which.
- Ceiling or wall stains after rain
- Lifted shingles or flashing after wind
- Ponding on a flat or low-slope section
- Storm damage to the roof edge or gutters
