Our roof repair process: inspect the issue, identify the root cause, quote the fix, do the work, warranty the repair. Simple. If the root cause is widespread (poor ventilation causes ice dams, for example), we'll recommend addressing that too. But the choice is always yours.

HAAG Certified Inspectors on staff for every storm damage assessment. We document per HAAG residential guidelines: hail hit density per test square, severity classification, functional vs. cosmetic damage distinction. Insurance adjusters trust HAAG methodology because it's the industry standard. Our supplementation process references FM 4473 hail ratings and manufacturer impact resistance specs when fighting for full replacement approval.

New construction underlayment per IRC R905 and ASTM D226 (felt) or ASTM D6757 (synthetic). Ice barrier per ASTM D1970 required at eaves in climate zones with average January temperature below 25°F. We install ice and water shield regardless. It's cheap insurance against ice dams and wind-driven rain. Drip edge per IRC R905.2.8.5 on eave and rake edges. Proper starter strip with factory sealant for wind resistance from day one.

Metal roofing works on pitches as low as 3:12 for standing seam and as low as 1:12 with specific underlayment and sealant requirements. Steep pitches look incredible in metal. We help you choose the right panel profile, material, and color for your Essex home.

Class A fire rating, ASTM D3462 compliant, rated to 110 mph per ASTM D3161 Class F (Landmark PRO IR rated to 130 mph). 5-Star SureStart Plus warranty when installed by CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster.

The number one cause of flat roof failure is ponding water. Standing water that doesn't drain within 48 hours after rain. We solve ponding by installing tapered insulation systems that create positive slope to drains, scuppers, or roof edges. Minimum 1/4" per foot of slope eliminates standing water.

Commercial roof maintenance programs keep small problems from becoming big ones. We offer annual and semi-annual inspection contracts for Essex building owners. We find and fix issues before they cause interior damage to your inventory, equipment, or tenant spaces.

We hang gutters with hidden hangers screwed into the rafter tails or fascia board every 24 inches max. No spike-and-ferrule, no exposed hardware. Proper pitch is 1/4" per 10 feet toward each downspout. Too flat and water sits. Too steep and it looks wrong.
Get a Free Quote →Roof Inspection
Our inspection covers the roof and the attic. From the attic, we check for daylight through the roof deck, moisture stains on rafters, mold on sheathing, and ventilation function. Problems in the attic often indicate roof issues that aren't visible from the surface.

After we secure the tarp and stop the leak, we photograph and document everything while the damage is fresh. This documentation is critical for insurance claims. Adjusters want to see the damage before any repairs are made.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
Skylight replacement on existing curbs: VELUX FCM curb-mount units install directly on the existing curb frame. No structural modification, no interior disruption. The FCM sits on the curb with a built-in sill pan and integrates with a new QCM flashing kit. Low-E4 laminated glass with argon fill provides R-value improvements over older skylights. Solar-powered blinds and venting available on VSS models. The 10-year No Leak Installation Warranty requires VELUX-certified installation with the complete flashing system. We're certified in Essex.
