Roof Repair in Lincoln Park, Cranford: what actually fails
Lincoln Park repairs follow the house. On a ranch it is usually the long eaves and the vents through a low roof; on an older Victorian it is the valleys; and where a lower roof meets an upper wall, the transition flashing is checked whichever house it is.
Cranford's 1914 plan near Lincoln Avenue, the street where Droescher's Mill, built in 1737, still stands at 347 Lincoln Avenue East.
- Long eaves on low ranch roofs

Call (908) 503-0136Note 01What do I do if I can't afford to fix my roof?
Find out exactly what is failing before deciding anything. Often it is one detail, a boot, a flashing, a few shingles, that can be repaired well for a few hundred dollars and buys years. Check whether an installer's warranty still applies, and ask for what must be done now and what can wait, in writing.
Note 02Should I replace my roof if it's not leaking?
Usually not yet. A dry roof with some worn shingles is a candidate for a repair and a watchful eye. The exceptions are a roof that is soft underfoot or sagging, and one shedding shingles in every wind, because by the time those leak the boards are already wet.
Note 03Will the repair match my shingles?
As closely as the shingles still made allow. On an older roof an exact color match is rare, so the repair is placed and blended to read as weathering. On slate, the match is a slate of the same size and color, sourced for the job.
