Roofing in Garfield, NJ
Most of Garfield's housing was built between 1900 and 1940, and the city retains its original urban grid. Two- and three-family homes are the norm, with attached and semi-attached construction common along the busier streets. Many roofs combine a pitched front section over the main living space with a low-slope or flat rear over the kitchen and back bedroom — a configuration that needs careful flashing where the two systems meet.
What We See on Garfield Roofs
- Mixed pitched-and-flat roof systems are the rule, not the exception — transitions between asphalt shingle and modified bitumen / TPO need experienced detailing
- Tight side-yard setbacks on attached blocks make tear-off logistics important — we plan dumpster and crew access in advance
- Parapet wall flashing and counter-flashing is a frequent failure point on older Garfield homes
- Ice damming on shaded north-facing slopes during prolonged freeze cycles is a recurring winter problem
- Permits are pulled through the Garfield Building Department
