FAQs
What's the most common roofing issue you see in Elmwood Park homes, and how do you fix it?
In Elmwood Park, we frequently address roof ridge cap damage and roof deck rot, often caused by our area's heavy weather. For ridge cap damage, we carefully remove the compromised sections, replace any underlying damaged materials, and install new, properly sealed caps to prevent future leaks. If we find deck rot during an inspection, we remove the affected sheathing, treat the surrounding area to stop moisture spread, and install new decking before completing the roof repair or replacement. Our goal is to fix the visible problem and its underlying cause to protect your home long-term.
As a newer company started in 2021, what experience does your team bring to roofing and foundation projects?
Our company may be newer, but our expertise isn't. I founded General Construction North Jersey after five years of hands-on work with another local contractor, specializing in the exact services we offer now. That experience gave me a deep understanding of roofing systems, waterproofing details, and foundation repair methods specific to North Jersey's soil and climate. We apply that practical knowledge to every job, from gutter installation to major reroofing, ensuring we use proven, reliable techniques. Being a family-run business means we're personally invested in every project's success.
Why is gutter maintenance connected to foundation and waterproofing problems?
Proper gutter function is your first line of defense against foundation and basement issues. When gutters are clogged, damaged, or incorrectly installed, water overflows and pools near your home's foundation. Over time, this saturation can lead to soil erosion, foundation cracks, and basement moisture or flooding. Our services are designed to work together: we install or repair gutters to direct water away, complementing our foundation repair and waterproofing installations. A coordinated approach prevents minor problems from becoming major, costly repairs for your Elmwood Park home.
