Garfield is home — our shop sits at 163 Midland Ave Unit B, walking distance from most of the city's two-family housing stock. The roofs here tell a generational story: 1910-1940 asphalt and slate on the original two-families, 1950s-1970s three-tab replacements on the postwar Cape Cods, and 1990s-onward architectural laminate as those tear-offs hit their second cycle. Most of what we install in Garfield today is GAF Timberline HDZ over fully-stripped decks with ice & water shield to NJ code R905.1.2.
Garfield's tight lot lines and shared driveways make staging matter. We bring smaller dump trailers (12-yard instead of 30) so we can tuck them in alongside the house without blocking neighbors. Same-day estimates anywhere in the city.
What We Work On in Garfield
Predominantly 1910-1940 two-family wood-frame homes with steep pitches (10/12 to 12/12 typical) and original eyebrow dormers. Brick rowhouses near the river have low-slope porch roofs that need modified-bitumen or mod-bit cap-sheet replacement. Post-war ranches in the eastern wards run shallower 6/12 pitch with architectural shingle. Commercial along Passaic Street has 1950s-era flat roofs hitting end of life.
