Roofing in Elizabeth

Why Elizabeth homeowners
call Pro Gen.

Elizabeth is Union County's seat and its largest city, an old port city set beside Newark Bay with neighborhoods like Elmora, Peterstown, the North End, and Elizabethport. Housing is dense and varied: two- and three-family frame homes, brick rowhouses, older single-family houses, and apartment and mixed-use buildings. Flat roofs are almost as common here as pitched ones.

Two- and three-family homes with steep gables, attached rowhouses and mixed-use buildings with flat roofs, and older single-family colonials and Victorians. Asphalt shingles on pitched roofs, membrane or modified bitumen on flat ones.

Every Elizabeth estimate starts with a drone flight. You get the photos whether or not you hire us, so you know exactly what's up there before you spend a dollar.

Local conditions

What we check on Elizabeth roofs

  • Flat roof drainage

    Attached homes and mixed-use buildings often have flat roofs with a single drain or scupper. Clogs and worn membranes lead to top-floor leaks.

  • Exposure near the bay

    Neighborhoods closer to Newark Bay and the port catch stronger winds off open water. Secure edges and flashing hold up better in those conditions.

  • Aging multi-family roofs

    Many two- and three-family homes are a century old and have layered roofs over board decking. Full tear-offs reveal and fix hidden deck damage.

Elizabeth questions

Roofing questions from Elizabeth

How much does a new roof cost in Elizabeth?

Most full replacements in Elizabeth land between $7,500 and $22,000 depending on roof size, pitch, layers to remove, and the shingle you choose. Repairs usually run $350 to $1,850. The drone inspection gives you an exact number, free.

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Elizabeth, NJ?

Elizabeth is a city, and the city's construction office issues roofing permits. We file the permit and schedule inspections. Pro Gen handles the application, fees, and the final inspection for you.

How long does a roof replacement take in Elizabeth?

Most homes are torn off, dried-in and shingled in one to two days. Larger or more complex roofs can run a third day. Your roof is never left open overnight.

Can you fix a leak in Elizabeth today?

Yes. Emergency leak and tarp calls in Elizabeth are dispatched the same day. We stop the water first, photograph the cause from the air, then quote the permanent fix.

My flat roof leaks after every heavy rain. Does it need a full replacement?

Not necessarily. Many flat roof leaks come from a clogged drain, a split seam, or failed flashing at a parapet, which can be repaired. If the membrane is worn throughout, a replacement is the more lasting fix.
