Other Work We Do in Union
Where to Find Flat Roofs on a Union House
Union was settled as Connecticut Farms and still has the older blocks around Union Center, along with later sections like Putnam Manor, Larchmont Estates, Orchard Park and Parkside Manor. A lot of the houses in those sections have had additions put on over the years. That is where the flat roofs are, on an extension out back or an upstairs porch someone roofed over to make a bedroom.

When a Flat Roof Starts Showing Its Age
You can usually spot a failing flat roof before it leaks inside. The signs are water still sitting 2 days after rain, seam edges lifting, soft areas when you walk it, a stain growing under the flattest part, and coating that peels again and again. Call when you notice one, preferably before winter.
Flat Roofing Differs From Shingle Work
Low-slope roofing is a separate trade from shingles. The membrane has to hold standing water at every seam and edge, and a patch made with the wrong material or the wrong details tends to leak again within a season.
The Membranes We Repair
Torch-down, which is modified bitumen, is on a lot of older flat roofs. It blisters and opens at the laps, and we cut those sections out and patch in matching asphalt.
The most common membrane overall is EPDM, the black rubber. Kept up at the seams and flashings, it lasts for decades, and it leaks at the joints when it fails.
TPO is the white, heat-welded sheet found on newer roofs. A TPO repair has to be welded as well, since glue won't hold it.
What Actually Wears a Flat Roof Out
Leaves plug drains and scuppers. Freeze-thaw opens small seam gaps a bit more every winter. People walking on the roof, cable and satellite installers most of all, also cause punctures.
What Sets the Number on a Flat Roof
The price depends on the membrane first, since EPDM, torch-down and TPO are repaired differently. Then it depends on how much water sits on the roof, how many things pass through it and whether water has reached the deck.
A bad seam on a good roof is a small job. Anything past that, we talk through with photos.
Warranty on Repairs and Replacements
Roof repairs carry a 2-year warranty; roof replacement carries a 50-year warranty. We are licensed and insured under NJ HIC #13VH11720500. The roofer who priced your membrane also comes back for the repair.
Patch, Coat, or Re-Cover: The Math
For a sound EPDM or TPO roof, a seam repair is inexpensive. A worn but dry roof can take a silicone or acrylic coating that adds nearly 10 years for a fraction of tear-off cost.
When the whole membrane is brittle, re-covering is the better call. Replacement only makes sense if water is trapped under the membrane, because coating over it lets the deck rot. We do not sell coatings for wet roofs.
We sort this out at the inspection, sometimes with a moisture scan.
The Pitched-to-Flat Transition, Done Right
A common leak point on Union houses is where the pitched roof drops its water onto a flat addition. On older homes that joint was often flashed with leftover material when the addition went up, and it takes all the runoff from the roof above.
We rebuild it as one detail and tie the pitched flashing into the membrane, which takes a roofer who knows both systems. On open lots we fasten and seal the edge metal between the two roofs against wind.
