Phillipsburg NJ roofing contractor — roof replacement, repairs, gutters and siding replacement for twins and hillside homes.
Phillipsburg is built on hills above the Delaware, and its housing reflects that: dense streets of twins and row-style homes, narrow lots, steep driveways, and porch and rear-addition roofs at every shallow slope imaginable. Much of the town's housing dates to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which means older framing, plank decking, and homes that have been re-sided and re-roofed multiple times.
DGC Roof does the kind of work Phillipsburg actually needs — tight-access jobs, shared and near-shared rooflines, flat and low-slope sections, and full siding replacement on older homes. Licensed and insured, written 5-year workmanship warranty. Call (732) 430-5765.
On twins and attached homes, the roof edge and any shared or adjoining detail has to be handled correctly or you create a leak for yourself or your neighbor. We tear off to the deck, evaluate and re-sheath as needed, install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, detail the party wall or adjoining edge properly, and use membrane on flat and low-slope sections rather than forcing shingles onto them. Steep hillside access is planned before the crew arrives.
The recurring repairs here: flat and low-slope porch and rear-addition roofs, party wall and parapet flashing on attached homes, chimney flashing on old masonry, and valley leaks. Wind coming up the Delaware valley also produces storm damage on the more exposed hillside streets. Emergency tarping available.
On a hillside lot with a narrow yard, uncontrolled roof water goes straight to a foundation — yours or someone else's. We install seamless aluminum gutters formed on site and route downspouts deliberately toward the street or a proper drainage point. On attached homes we handle the detail where two roofs drain into each other, which is a frequent source of overflow and rot. Repairs include repitching, resealing, hanger replacement, and rotted fascia and soffit replacement.
Many Phillipsburg homes are wearing aluminum or early vinyl over original wood siding, and some older homes still have asbestos-cement shingle siding, which has to be handled by the appropriate licensed abatement process — we'll tell you plainly if that's what you have and what the correct path is. Standard replacements go on in vinyl, insulated vinyl, or fiber cement, with sheathing repair, proper house wrap, and new trim, soffit, and fascia.
We serve all of Phillipsburg including the neighborhoods off South Main Street, Heckman Street, Marshall Street, Hudson Street, and the hillside streets above the river, plus adjoining Lopatcong and Pohatcong. We also serve Belvidere, Washington, Alpha, Greenwich, Harmony, and Hackettstown.
For your own roof, generally no — but the shared edge has to be detailed properly. We'll walk you through it, and if the work touches a shared element we'll tell you before we start.
