    The project

    Few weeks ago we were called by a worried homeowner in Teaneck, NJ who requested a roof inspection as she suspected a leak damaging the tile rood of her house. We often get such calls, especially at this time of the year when the weather takes a huge tall on a roofing structure.

    Upon inspection of the roof we discovered not one but several leaks caused by broken tiles and rusted flashings. We offered an estimate for a leak repair and roof restoration and got the job!

    The process

    First step was to carefully remove all of the existing barrel tiles from the roof.

    Special care is taken to avoid any further damage to existing tile and make sure that we salvage as much as possible.

    Once the tile was removed and collected, the next step was to inspect the underlying wood decking.

    There was significant damage here, so we replaced the decking as needed, removing rotted material and installing new pieces.

    Next we installed copper flashings, then ice and water shield underlayment and wood to support tile.

    Finally, the roof was ready for the tile. We re-installed all of the salvaged tiles filling in with additional ones as needed.

    Another great project done. Another happy NJ homeowner! Thank you LGC Roofing TEAM!

    • That is a very nice project. It’s great that you could reclaim the existing tiles. What type of flashings did you use?

    • Thanks, it was a great project! As for the type of flashing, we used custom made copper flashing.

    • Nice project. Reusing most of the tiles must have cut down the cost tremendously. It’s really neat when a contractor is truly doing what’s best in their client’s interest. Good job Lukasz!
