Leak over the top-floor unit or the back addition? Call (862) 318-3997, or send the form on this page with the address, and we will set up a free inspection and follow it with a written estimate.
For an Elizabeth building with more than one occupied unit, start by locating the water report: which floor, which room, and when it appeared. Arrange permission to see the affected interior as well as the roof. A roof estimate is easier to assess when the inspection can connect the reported stain to the surfaces above it, rather than relying on a description passed through several people.
Find the Real Source
The job starts at the failed seam or the backed-up drain, with no coating spread across the whole roof.
A Quick Run South
US 1/9 runs through Elizabeth, and so do the Turnpike and Routes 27, 28 and 81, so there is usually more than one way down from Clifton.
The Number in Writing
The written price is itemized and arrives after the free inspection.
Help With Paying For It
Senior citizens and military personnel receive a $500 discount. Zero-percent financing is available; ask for the terms that apply to your project.
Who Signs Off on the Work in Elizabeth
The Elizabeth building department, called the Bureau of Construction, reviews projects under the Uniform Construction Code and maintains construction records. Its GovPilot links include inspection requests and dumpster permits.
We handle the filing for work that requires it. Before booking equipment or a container, confirm which approvals apply to the actual repair and its access arrangements; a roof patch and a larger replacement may have different needs.
We are registered with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs as a home improvement contractor, NJ HIC #13VH11720500. You can check that on the state licence verification portal before you hire us, or anyone else. We install GAF and Owens Corning roofing systems and are not enrolled in either manufacturer's contractor certification program.
Other Work We Do in Elizabeth
Where to Find Flat Roofs on an Elizabeth House
If several rooms or units sit beneath one flat roof, label the interior photographs with their locations and ask whether the proposed work covers only the reported defect or also the roof around adjoining equipment and walls. Keep a copy for the owner or manager responsible for later access, which is particularly useful when the person reporting the leak will not be present during the inspection.

When a Flat Roof Starts Showing Its Age
The warnings come before the ceiling goes: water sitting two days after a storm, seam edges lifting, spongy spots when you walk it, a stain spreading under the flat part, or coating that peels again every time it is redone. Call on the first one, especially heading into winter.
A Flat Roof Is Its Own Trade
Pipes and vents pass through more than the visible roof surface. GAF's low-slope penetration guidance explains that gaps in the assembly can also let humid indoor air reach colder layers and cause condensation.
Moisture near a pipe therefore needs investigation before it is attributed to a hole in the membrane. Tell the inspector whether it appears only with rain or under other conditions too.
The Membranes We Repair
EPDM, the black rubber, is on most residential flat roofs in the area and tends to fail at seams and flashings. TPO is the white heat-welded sheet on newer work and gets a welded repair, while modified bitumen torch-down, common on older buildings, blisters at the laps and is patched in the same layered asphalt.
What Actually Wears a Flat Roof Out
Ask for a drainage photograph that includes the outlet and surrounding roof, rather than only the puddle, and check the written warranty before accepting any claim that a particular duration of standing water automatically cancels coverage. A roof-specific diagnosis is needed to separate an obstruction from a problem that requires changes to the roof assembly.
What Sets the Number on a Flat Roof
What a flat roof job costs comes down to the system (EPDM, torch-down or TPO), how much it ponds, how many penetrations it has, and whether water has reached the deck. A single bad seam is quick work, while a membrane gone brittle end to end takes a longer talk with photos in front of you.
A Warranty You Can Lean On
We at Four Seasons provide a 2-year roof-repair warranty and a 50-year roof-replacement warranty. We are insured and registered under NJ HIC #13VH11720500. Keep the written terms with the Elizabeth property's repair record so the person managing the building knows what work was covered and whom to contact.
Patch, Coat, or Re-Cover: The Math
Before agreeing to coat a roof, find out which existing membrane and previous coatings the contractor identified. GAF notes that coatings are not interchangeable across every roof type, so the proposal should state the preparation required for the chosen system and explain how existing leaks will be addressed, and that scope should be compared with the replacement estimate rather than with the finish color or price alone.
An occupied deck on a flat roof requires a separate review of the structure and proposed use, including access to drains and future roof repairs, and approval of a membrane repair does not approve the additional use or load.
Winter repairs depend on material requirements and site conditions, so describe the active leak on the phone and confirm what any temporary measure covers and what remains to be completed.
The Pitched-to-Flat Transition, Done Right
Where a sloped roof drains toward a flat section, ask for an inspection photograph of the whole junction, and have the estimate identify whether it includes the pitched-roof flashing as well as the membrane below it. If separate contractors are involved, or the property is attached, agree who is responsible for that connection and who can authorize work at a shared wall before either scope is approved.
A re-cover is the easiest time to add insulation: rigid board under the new membrane helps on what is often the least insulated part of the house, and tapered board fixes ponding on an EPDM or TPO re-cover at the same time.

“Four Seasons Construction just cured my 6 year roof headache. After moving into a house with a roof that was replaced the year before, I was constantly dealing with leaks and shoddy workmanship that the other company would take months to resolve. Four Seasons came to look at the roof, found all the problems, and fixed it to perfection in no time. I can finally sleep at night thanks to these guys! You're the best!!!”

How We Trace a Leak Instead of Guessing
1. Walk the Whole Membrane
We map the ponding, the seam condition, and every penetration before touching a thing.
2. Find the True Entry
The wet spot inside is rarely under the hole. We follow the water back to where it actually gets in.
3. Repair in Kind
EPDM gets EPDM detailing, TPO gets a weld. We match the system you already have.
4. Prove the Drainage
We check that water leaves the way it should, so the patch holds instead of buying you one season.
