A Livingston roof, before and after
Roof replacement in Livingston
This Livingston house has a big, detailed roof: three front dormers, several chimneys and a lower roof over the front bay windows. The bottom photo shows the old brown shingles. The top photo shows the finished roof from above, in new Owens Corning architectural shingles, color Estate Gray.
On a roof like this, the joints decide whether it stays dry: dormer walls, valleys, chimneys and the line where the lower roof meets the house. A ProTech roof replacement covers all of them:
- Old roofing stripped to the deck, and any rotted boards or plywood swapped for new wood
- Ice and water barrier at the eaves, through each valley and around chimneys, skylights and pipes
- Fresh step flashing and counter-flashing at every dormer wall and chimney
- Synthetic underlayment, then architectural shingles by Owens Corning, GAF and other makers
- Ridge vent with soffit intake, for a balanced attic
- Clean-up, a magnet sweep for nails and finished photos of your roof
Residential replacements carry a minimum 15-year written workmanship warranty, longer depending on the roofing product, plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the materials. See roof replacement. Our residential roofing page covers both repairs and new roofs on homes.
Leaks and repairs
Roof repair in Livingston
A water stain on the ceiling shows where a leak ends up, rarely where it starts. When we can get into the attic, we look there first and find the spot where the water actually gets in. Then we fix it from the roof with new metal and matching materials, and photograph the problem and the repair for you.
Repairs we make on Livingston homes:
- Dormer and wall flashing that has worn out or was never done right
- Chimney flashing: new step flashing and counter-flashing, with a cricket behind wide chimneys
- Valleys that hold leaves and let water in
- Skylight flashing and pipe boots
- Shingles lifted or torn off by wind
- Flat sections over porches, bays and additions
Each permanent repair carries a minimum 2-year workmanship warranty on the repaired area, in writing, and some repairs get a longer warranty, depending on the age and condition of the roof. Emergency tarps and temporary patches are not covered. See roof repair and emergency roof repair.
Commercial roofing
Commercial and flat roofing in Livingston
We also repair, replace and maintain flat roofs for Livingston businesses, from the office parks along Eisenhower Parkway to the shops along Livingston Avenue in the center of town and the stores and office buildings on the Route 10 corridor.
- Repairs to seams, flashing, drains and punctures, matched to the membrane already on the roof
- Replacement or recover in TPO, PVC, EPDM or modified bitumen

Google reviews
Our customers, in their words
Two reviews from Google, quoted word for word. The full reviews are on Google.
“Ervin and his crew were professional, easy to communicate with, and showed up on time. They found an issue with the valley that ended up needing a full replacement instead of a simple repair, and explained everything clearly before moving forward with the extra work. The job was finished neatly, everything looks solid, and they cleaned up well after.”
— Shirong L., Google review “The roof installation was completed perfectly, with excellent attention to detail and a high level of craftsmanship. The crew kept the work area clean throughout the project, and the pricing was very fair for the quality of work provided.”

Questions
Livingston roofing questions
Can you replace a large roof with dormers and several chimneys?
Yes. The Livingston house shown on this page is one example: we replaced its roof, dormers included, with Owens Corning shingles in Estate Gray. On a shingle roof like that one, we strip the roof to the wood deck, fix any soft wood, line the eaves and valleys with ice and water barrier, put new step flashing along every dormer wall and new step flashing and counter-flashing around every chimney, and finish with architectural shingles. Residential replacements carry a minimum 15-year written workmanship warranty, longer depending on the roofing product, plus the manufacturer warranty on the materials.
Do you fix leaks around dormers and chimneys?
Yes. On a roof with dormers, most leaks begin at the dormer walls, the valleys and the chimneys. We find the spot where the water gets in, replace the worn flashing with new metal and send you photos of the repair. Each permanent repair carries a minimum 2-year workmanship warranty on the repaired area, in writing.
Do you work on commercial roofs in Livingston?
Yes. For offices, stores and other commercial buildings we repair, recover and replace TPO, PVC, EPDM and modified bitumen roofs, and set up maintenance plans or apply roof coatings on commercial flat roofs. The proposal comes in writing, with photos.
Do you charge for the roof inspection?
No. The inspection, the photos and the written estimate are free, and there is no obligation.
Can I finance a new roof?
Yes. Financing options are available. Mention it when you get your estimate and we will explain what fits your project.
Which parts of Livingston do you cover?
All of it, from West Livingston and the Northfield area to the center of town on Livingston Avenue, the Route 10 corridor and the office parks on Eisenhower Parkway. We also work in nearby Roseland, West Orange, Millburn and Short Hills, Florham Park and East Hanover, and across Essex and Morris counties.
