Trenton roofs take a beating from the humid summers and the freeze-thaw winters. Shingles on older homes near the New Jersey State House often crack along the seams when water freezes under them overnight. We carry 3-tab and architectural shingles plus TPO rolls in the truck so we can match what is already up there. Cheap crews skip the ice-and-water shield at the eaves and the leak comes back the next cold snap.
In South Trenton and Mill Hill the two-story row homes have tight alleys. That means we set ladders on the sidewalk and pull permits for any work over 100 square feet. We check the decking with a moisture meter before we cut out the wet spots. Skip that step and the new layer starts to bubble in the first hot spell of July.
Cadwalader Park area homes often have slate or cedar shake sections mixed in with asphalt. When a tree limb drops we replace just the damaged courses instead of the whole slope. We carry 15-pound felt and step flashing on every call so the patch ties in clean under the existing courses.
Call 609-555-0123 right now if water is coming through the ceiling. We answer 24/7 and can usually be on site within two hours for leaks that threaten the drywall.

How it works
- 1
Take the call and ask about water location
We get the address and check if it is near the chimney or a valley so we know what tools to bring.
- 2
Drive out and set up tarps
Usually 30 to 60 minutes after the call, we cover the wet spots and walk the roof to mark every tear.
- 3
Cut out bad sections and check decking
We pull the old felt, look for rot, and sister any soft rafters before the new layer goes down.
- 4
Install patch and flash
Match the existing shingles or membrane, add step flashing at walls, and seal all nail heads the same afternoon.
- 5
Clean up and walk the owner through it
We haul debris, take photos, and leave a written note on what to watch for over the next freeze cycle.
Pricing
