Roofing & Remodeling in Jersey City, NJ

Two Departments

What we do in Jersey City

Roofing and remodeling run as separate crews with separate numbers. Call the one that matches your project.

Roofing & Exteriors

Almost nothing about Jersey City roofing resembles suburban work. The dominant assembly is a flat or low-slope roof behind a parapet, on an attached building sharing party walls with neighbours on both sides. That means the leak is usually at the coping, the parapet flashing, or a failed membrane seam rather than in the field, the work needs a membrane rather than shingles, and access is from the street or an interior stair rather than a driveway. It also means the detached-dwelling permit exemption does not apply to most of the city.

Kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Jersey City, NJ

Kitchen & Bath Remodeling

Jersey City's pre-war row and frame housing routinely carries original knob-and-tube branch circuits, undersized services, and cast iron waste stacks that are shared vertically between floors in multi-family buildings. Kitchen and bath layouts are constrained by where that stack runs, and in a three-family the work affects units above and below. Scope creep here is structural and mechanical, not aesthetic.

Jersey City housing, and what it means for the work

Jersey City is the densest housing stock in this service area by a wide margin: brownstone and brick row houses through Downtown, Van Vorst Park and Hamilton Park, three- and four-storey frame multi-family across The Heights and Journal Square, and post-war and contemporary construction in Greenville and along the waterfront. Detached single-family homes are the exception here rather than the rule.

Permits in Jersey City

Jersey City Division of Construction Code

Jersey City enforces the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code through its Division of Construction Code. Two things make this city different from a suburban township. First, as one of New Jersey's largest cities, plan-review projects commonly take considerably longer than the 48 hours a single-trade permit needs — build that into any schedule. Second, the N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7 roof exemption is keyed to detached one- and two-family dwellings, and a very large share of Jersey City housing is attached row housing, three-family frame, or multi-family, none of which qualifies.
