Rubber Roof Replacement in Armory Park: what actually fails

A single flat roof over a two- or three-family house is close to the ideal EPDM job: one plane, few penetrations, a manageable area. Ask for 60-mil rather than 45 if you intend to keep the building -- it is a small uplift on a roof this size and it buys real durability.

When people here say rubber roof they almost always mean EPDM, and it installs at $5 to $9 per square foot. It is the least expensive of the single-ply systems, it handles a freezing winter well, and on a small to medium roof it is frequently the correct choice rather than merely the cheap one.

  • One flat plane over the whole footprint, or two systems
  • The outlet, which on a single-plane roof is everything
  • Resident notice, on a two- to four-family building

Rubber roof replacement cost in Armory Park

Rubber roof means EPDM here, and it installs at $5 to $9 per square foot -- the least expensive single-ply, and on a small to medium roof frequently the correct choice rather than a compromise. What has to be in the quote is the thickness and the attachment method, because 'rubber roof' on its own is not a specification. Middle of the range, and the reason is simply that a dumpster can usually go on the frontage without a negotiation. The buildings are still attached, so the parapet and the outlet are still where the money should go.

01

45-mil or 60-mil, adhered or fastened

A 45-mil fully adhered membrane is not the same purchase as a 60-mil mechanically fastened one. On a roof you intend to keep, 60-mil is a small uplift for real durability. Over a trading shop, fully adhered avoids the noise and vibration that fastening puts through the ceiling.

02

Where EPDM gives ground

Reflectivity on a large dark roof over occupied space, and seams: EPDM is bonded with adhesive and tape rather than welded, so on a roof with many penetrations the workmanship at each one is doing more of the work. TPO at $6 to $12 is the alternative.

03

Do not over-specify a small roof

On a twelve-by-fifteen extension the difference between systems is far less than the difference between good and careless detailing. We would rather spend the money on the junction with the pitched roof above it.

Buildings in Armory Park

Roofs in Armory Park, and what that means for rubber roof replacement

Slightly easier access than the tightest parts of the city, which shows up in the labor on an otherwise identical roof. The buildings are still attached, so the parapet and the outlet are still where the trouble is -- but a dumpster can usually be placed without a negotiation.

Availability

The street arrangement takes longer than the roof

Worth knowing before you start ringing round, because in this city the lead time is rarely about the crew.

On most jobs here the roofing is two to five days and the preparation is what takes the calendar. A dumpster on a city street, a delivery on a bus route, a route onto the roof through somebody else's tenancy, and hours that fit the business below all have to be arranged before a crew is any use. A contractor who quotes a start date without mentioning any of that is quoting an empty building.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

Is 45-mil enough, or should I pay for 60?

On a roof you intend to keep, 60-mil. The uplift on a small roof is modest and it buys real puncture resistance and durability. On a small rear addition you expect to rebuild within a decade, 45-mil fully adhered is entirely adequate and we will say so.

Will I hear the work through the ceiling?

With mechanical fastening, yes -- it is screws through the deck. Fully adhered avoids that, which matters over a trading shop or a bedroom. It is worth raising before the system is chosen rather than after the first complaint.

Can you work over a shop without closing it?

Yes, and it is most of what we do on Main Avenue. It means working in bays, protecting from underneath as well as above, and fitting the hours the business can tolerate. All three are real labor and we price them openly rather than absorbing them and then arguing about it.

Do you charge for the survey or the quote?

No. The inspection is free, the written quote is free, and neither carries an obligation. The survey covers the frontage and the route as well as the roof, which is the part most quotes skip and the part that decides the price here. What we will not do is give you a number at the curb.

Why would a Passaic quote be higher than one a few miles away?

Because getting to the roof costs more here. Passaic runs at 22,514 people per square mile -- 7th of New Jersey's 565 municipalities -- so there is no side yard, usually no driveway, and nowhere to stand a dumpster except the street. Material goes up the frontage and waste comes down it, and on a mixed-use building the route is through a tenancy.
