Your Local Summit Roofing Expert
Summit sits on the Second Watchung Mountain, and its housing reflects a century of building on a hillside: Tudors, colonial revivals, shingle-style homes, and large older colonials, many with steep pitches, slate or cedar in service, dormers, turrets, and complicated rooflines. Newer construction and renovated homes sit alongside them. Very little of Summit is simple, straightforward roofing.

What we do, in detail
Roof Replacement in Summit
Steep Summit roofs require staging, fall protection, and slower work than a suburban ranch — and that's reflected honestly in the price rather than discovered halfway through. We tear off to the deck, evaluate and repair the sheathing (plank decking is common on the older homes), install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, and correct ventilation. Architectural shingles standard, with slate and cedar handled as separate conversations including whether staying in kind makes financial sense for you.
Roof Repair in Summit
Summit repairs are usually detail failures rather than shingle failures: valley leaks on multi-gable roofs, chimney flashing on old masonry chimneys, dormer cheek and sidewall flashing, slipped or cracked slate, and skylight leaks on renovated third floors. Older Summit homes also have built-in and hidden gutter details that leak into the cornice, which is a repair many contractors won't touch.
Gutter Replacement & Repair in Summit
Steep roofs move water fast, and a standard gutter can be overwhelmed by a heavy rain coming off a 12/12 pitch. We size gutters and downspouts to the roof, install seamless aluminum formed on site, and install copper and half-round profiles on homes where K-style would look out of place. Repairs include repitching, resealing, replacing hidden hangers, and rebuilding rotted fascia, soffit, and cornice trim behind the gutter.
Siding Replacement in Summit
Siding on Summit homes usually needs to match a specific profile and detail vocabulary. We install vinyl, insulated vinyl, and fiber cement, with fiber cement being the common choice here because it holds a traditional exposure and takes paint. We repair sheathing, replace wrap, and rebuild trim to match what's there rather than simplifying it away.
