Hoboken is one of the most architecturally consistent cities in the US — block after block of 1850s-1900s brownstones and brick rowhouses on a 1-square-mile grid. Almost every residential roof here is low-slope (1/4:12 typical), and our Hoboken work is overwhelmingly modified-bitumen or EPDM replacement, plus the conversion of sound but tired existing roofs to silicone-coated extended-life systems.
Tight density means staging is brutal — we use compact 8-10-yard dump trailers and coordinate with neighbors. Permits issue from the Hoboken Construction Code Office at City Hall.
