Flat Roof Specialists Serving Hudson County and North Jersey

In Union City, Jersey City, Hoboken, North Bergen, West New York, and Bayonne, the roof overhead isn’t pitched — it’s flat. Row homes, brownstones, mixed-use buildings, and commercial storefronts across Hudson County share the same reality: a flat roof that sees punishing weather, ponding water, and decades of wear most general roofers don’t know how to handle.

Gaby Roofing is built for that roof. We don’t install shingles as a side hustle. Flat roofing is what we do — torch down modified bitumen, silicone restoration coatings, emergency leak repair, drainage correction, and full tear-off replacements. Licensed NJHIC #13VH11705800, fully insured, 4.9-star rating across 140+ verified reviews.

If you’re standing in a puddle on your roof, staring at a stain on your ceiling, or wondering whether to patch or replace — you’re in the right place.

Our Flat Roofing Services

Torch Down Flat Roofing (Modified Bitumen)

The workhorse of Hudson County flat roofs. Torch-applied APP or SBS modified bitumen — 20–25 year roof that handles foot traffic, seasonal expansion, and heavy snow. When installed correctly, it’s the most reliable system for row homes and attached properties.

Silicone Roof Coatings

Aging flat roof that’s still structurally sound? Silicone restoration adds 10–15 years for a fraction of replacement cost. Seals seams, reflects UV, stops minor leaks, extends warranty life.

Flat Roof Leak Repair

Leaks rarely drip where the damage actually is — water tracks the deck. We locate the real source (failed seam, pitch pocket, drain boot) and fix it same-day or next-day in most cases.

Flat Roof Drainage & Ponding Water

Standing water voids warranties and accelerates membrane breakdown. We correct drainage with tapered insulation, scupper upgrades, secondary drains, and targeted slope corrections.

Flat Roof Replacement

Full tear-off to the deck, proper insulation, new torch down or coated system built for Hudson County climate. Permits, warranty registration, workmanship warranty included.

Flat Roof Inspections

30-minute professional inspection: exact condition, years remaining, any code issues affecting insurance claims. Free for Hudson County property owners.

Repair or Replace? The 25% Rule

If more than 25% of your roof is damaged, New Jersey building code generally requires the entire roof be brought up to current code, not just patched. And past that threshold, the math also flips — you’ll spend 40–60% of replacement cost on patches and still sit under an old roof.

Hudson County Flat Roof Reality

  • Attached row homes mean shared parapet walls — leaks travel between buildings.
  • Brownstone rooftop access requires working around HVAC, skylights, decks, solar.
  • Hudson waterfront weather: wind uplift, salt air, freeze-thaw — chews cheap membranes in 5–7 years.
  • Older buildings hide 2–3 roof layers; NJ allows max 2 before tear-off is required.
