Scotch Plains NJ roof replacement, leak repair, gutter replacement and siding for split-levels and ranches. 5-yr warranty.
Scotch Plains is largely a post-war town — split-levels, ranches, and capes built out through the 1950s and 1960s, with older homes near the village center and larger colonials in the neighborhoods toward Ashbrook and Shackamaxon. Most of these houses have been re-roofed once or twice, which means the roof you have now may be sitting on top of an older one, hiding whatever the decking has been doing for the last forty years.
DGC Roof does full tear-offs, straight repair assessments, seamless gutters, and siding replacement throughout Scotch Plains. Licensed and insured, most roofs done in a day, 5-year written warranty. Call (732) 430-5765.
Split-levels are their own category of roofing job. Multiple roof planes at different heights, roof-to-wall junctions where the upper level meets the lower roof, and low-slope sections over garages and additions all have to be handled correctly or the roof leaks in exactly the same spot the old one did. We tear off completely, repair the deck, install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, step-flash the wall junctions properly, and put the right product on any low-slope section.
The recurring Scotch Plains repairs: roof-to-wall flashing on splits, chimney flashing on 1950s and 1960s masonry, pipe boot failures, and valley leaks. We also see a fair amount of storm damage on the streets with less tree shelter. If your roof has real life left, we'll repair it and tell you roughly how long that buys you.
Multi-level roofs create a specific gutter problem: an upper roof dumping onto a lower roof, which then overwhelms the lower gutter. The right answer is usually a downspout carrying the upper roof past the lower one, and it's a detail that gets skipped constantly. We install seamless aluminum formed on site, size and route downspouts correctly, and repair existing systems — repitching, hanger and seam work, and fascia replacement.
Original aluminum and early vinyl siding is still on a lot of Scotch Plains homes and it's showing every one of its years. We replace it with vinyl, insulated vinyl, or fiber cement, and we deal with the wrap and sheathing underneath. Split-levels often have small awkward elevations and multiple material transitions — we detail them properly rather than caulking over them.
We serve all of Scotch Plains including the Ashbrook, Shackamaxon, and Willow Grove areas, and the neighborhoods off Park Avenue, Martine Avenue, Raritan Road, and Terrill Road. We also serve Fanwood, Westfield, Garwood, Clark, Watchung, and Berkeley Heights.
