Roofing in Montclair
Older materials need a compatible repair plan.
Montclair homes may combine slate or shingle roof areas, masonry chimneys, dormers and later additions. A repair must account for material compatibility and the surrounding details rather than rely on surface sealant alone.
We document visible conditions, trace likely water paths and explain whether a focused repair can preserve serviceable materials. When replacement is appropriate, the scope includes flashings, ventilation and water-protection layers alongside the finish roof.

Wood-burning chimney condition reviewChimney Inspections
A chimney inspection should identify the wood-burning system being reviewed, the accessible areas included and any limits created by access or concealed construction. It is separate from a whole-home inspection.
Explore chimney service ↗Wood-burning chimney cleaning serviceChimney Cleaning & SweepingChimney cleaning—also called chimney sweeping—removes accessible soot and deposits from a wood-burning flue. The visit also creates an opportunity to note visible concerns before the fireplace is used again.
Explore chimney service ↗Flue liner installation and replacementChimney LinersA chimney liner should be selected around the existing flue, fireplace or appliance connection, access and termination—not sold as a one-size-fits-all tube.
Explore chimney service ↗Masonry, stucco, flashing and leak repairChimney RepairA chimney leak can involve the crown, cap, masonry, stucco, flashing, counterflashing or nearby roofing. The repair should follow the actual water path.
Explore chimney service ↗Water tracing at the roof-to-chimney transitionChimney Flashing Repair & Leak RepairChimney flashing repair should follow the visible water path. Water near a chimney may begin at step flashing, counterflashing, nearby roofing, the crown, cap or masonry—not necessarily at the first surface patch you can see.
Explore chimney service ↗Brick, mortar and exterior chimney restorationChimney Masonry & RepointingOpen mortar joints, loose brick and deteriorated exterior finishes let weather move deeper into a chimney. A masonry scope should identify what can be repointed, what needs replacement and how the crown and roof transition connect to the repair.
Explore chimney service ↗Top-of-chimney weather protectionChimney Caps & CrownsThe cap and crown sit at the most exposed part of the chimney. Their job is different, but both matter when rain, debris and freeze-thaw cycles reach the top of the system.
