Roof Repair in Kenilworth, NJ

Roofing in Kenilworth

Kenilworth is a small borough in central Union County, tucked between Cranford, Roselle Park and Union, with the Garden State Parkway on one side and Galloping Hill Golf Course nearby. Its main street is known locally as the Boulevard. The residential streets are mostly single-family homes - capes, colonials, ranches and split-levels - with much of the housing built in the middle of the 20th century, plus commercial and light industrial buildings along the borough's edges.

Many homes here are now on their second or third roof. That means a lot of the work is planned replacements and repairs on roofs in the 15 to 25 year range.

Split-levels and ranches

Split-level homes have a roof section that butts up against a taller wall. That joint needs step flashing tucked behind the siding, and when it's done poorly or the siding has been replaced without care, it's a classic leak point. If you have a stain on the ceiling of the lower level of a split-level, that wall joint is one of the first places a roofer will check.
