Alex Construction | Handyman & Roofing in Irvington, NJ 07111

Common signs in Irvington homes include sagging roof lines, water stains on ceilings, and a spongy feeling when walking on the roof. Alex Construction addresses this by first safely removing the damaged shingles and rotted decking. We then replace the structural sheathing with new, weather-resistant materials and ensure proper underlayment is installed before re-shingling. This repair stops further damage and restores the structural integrity of your roof.

Chimney flashing leaks are very common here due to temperature swings and aging sealant. The metal flashing that seals the joint between your chimney and roof can crack or pull away. Alex Construction's solution involves carefully removing the old, failed flashing. We then fabricate and install new, custom-fitted flashing, integrating it seamlessly with your existing roof system and sealing it with high-grade, waterproof cement to create a long-lasting barrier against New Jersey rain and snow.

Absolutely. Proper masonry and concrete work are crucial for prevention. We repair crumbling chimney crowns and parging, which are often the root cause of water seepage that leads to internal flashing failures. We also address foundational concrete issues and install proper gutters and downspouts to direct water away from your home's base and roof edges. This proactive approach protects your entire structure from the ground up.
