Roof leak repair in North Jersey: how we find and stop the leak
Most roof leaks come from flashing, pipe boots, valleys or lifted shingles, not from the middle of the roof. Water often travels along the deck or a rafter before it drips, so the ceiling stain is rarely right under the hole. We trace the leak from the inside (attic, ceiling, walls) and the outside (flashing at chimneys, walls, skylights and vents, pipe boots, valleys, edges) until we find where water actually gets in.
- Active leak? Call or text 973-200-1617. We set up a temporary dry-in or tarp to stop the water, then plan the permanent repair.
- Stain that comes and goes? That often means wind-driven rain at flashing, an ice dam at the eaves, or attic condensation, not a hole in the shingles. We check the attic too.
- Leak that keeps coming back after other repairs? That is where a thermal roof scan helps: it shows where water is sitting under the roofing.
More detail: roof leak repair and emergency roof leak repair.
Thermal roof scans: finding hidden leaks and wet insulation
A thermal (infrared) roof scan uses a thermal camera to show temperature differences, and wet roofing, decking and insulation hold heat differently from dry areas. That lets us see where water is trapped under the surface, often well away from the stain inside, without tearing anything open first.

Repairs on homes, two-families, multi-family and commercial buildings, often guided by a thermal scan.
Metal roof repair

We repair leaks on metal roofs at fasteners, seams, flashing and penetrations.
Roof leak repair pricing in North Jersey
No bait-and-switch estimates. These are our starting points for most roof leak repairs. You always get an exact price before any work begins.
| Service | Starting at | What it usually covers |
|---|---|---|
| Roof leak repair | $650 | Small, straightforward fixes: a shingle or two, an exposed nail, a minor penetration or a small seal or flashing fix. |
| Standard roof repair | $950 | A larger area: flashing work, a pipe boot, several shingles, or a localized tear-out and repair. |
| Emergency roof leak service | $1,500 | Active or heavy leaks that need a fast response, including difficult access, temporary dry-in or tarping, and a full investigation of the source. |
Final price depends on access, roofing material, leak location and extent of damage. Rotted decking and hidden damage are extra. See our roof estimate checklist.
Roof replacement in North Jersey: full tear-off, done in 1–3 days
When a roof leaks in several places, has more than one layer, or the shingles are curling and bald, replacement is usually the better value. Terra Nova replaces asphalt shingle roofs (3-tab, architectural and designer shingles) and flat/low-slope roofs (EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen). We never put a new roof over an old one.
- Tear-off to the deck and inspection of every board; rotted decking replaced.
- Ice & water barrier at eaves, valleys and penetrations, and synthetic underlayment on every replacement.
- New drip edge, flashing and pipe boots, and balanced ridge/soffit ventilation.
- Shingles or membrane installed to manufacturer specs; daily cleanup and magnet sweep.
- Final walkthrough and manufacturer warranty registration where it applies, plus our workmanship guarantee.
Most residential replacements take 1–3 days. Read the full guides: roof replacement in NJ, what a new roof costs, the process day by day and repair or replace?

Storm damage roof repair and insurance claims
If a storm opened up your roof, stop the water first, then document. Call 973-200-1617 and we'll set up a temporary dry-in or tarp, then plan the permanent repair.
For a claim, take photos from the ground and inside and open the claim with your insurer. We inspect the roof, document the damage with photos and measurements, help with the paperwork and can meet your adjuster on site. Your policy decides what is covered, so we never promise a claim result, and we never cover or waive deductibles. Not every storm leak needs a new roof; we tell you which it is and show you why.

Built for North Jersey homes and weather
We're based in Garfield, in Bergen County, and work across Passaic, Bergen, Morris, Essex, Hudson and Union County. Older cities like Garfield, Passaic, Paterson and Newark have many two- and three-family homes close together, often with flat or low-slope roofs and old chimneys. Suburbs in Bergen and Morris County have more colonials, capes and larger homes with complex rooflines, valleys and skylights.
The weather tests all of them: summer thunderstorms that drive rain under loose flashing, wind that lifts older shingles, and freeze-thaw winters with ice dams at the eaves. Many "roof leaks" are really attic condensation from poor ventilation, which is why we look at the attic too. County guides: Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Morris, Hudson, Union.

Roofing questions homeowners ask us
Who is a good roofing contractor in Garfield, NJ?
Terra Nova Roofing & Construction is a licensed and insured roofing contractor based in Garfield (NJ Lic. #13VH13824700). We do roof repair, leak repair, thermal roof scans and roof replacement, with a free inspection and written estimate with photos. Call or text 973-200-1617.
How much does a roof leak repair cost?
Most leak repairs start at $650 for small fixes. Larger repairs with flashing, pipe boots or several shingles start at $950, and emergency leak service with tarping starts at $1,500. We confirm the exact price in writing before any work.
What is a thermal roof scan?
A thermal (infrared) scan uses a thermal camera to find temperature differences that show where water is trapped under roofing or in insulation. It helps find hidden and recurring leaks, especially on flat roofs, without opening the roof first. We confirm what it shows before recommending a repair.
Why does my roof keep leaking after it was repaired?
Usually because the real entry point was missed: water travels before it drips, and flashing, pipe boots and valleys are common culprits. Attic condensation can also look like a leak. We trace the leak inside and out, and for stubborn leaks we offer a paid thermal roof scan.
Do you do emergency roof repair?
Yes. If water is coming in, call 973-200-1617. We set up a temporary dry-in or tarp to stop the leak, then schedule the permanent repair.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 3 days depending on size, complexity and weather. We tear off to the deck, repair any rotted wood and clean up every day.
Do you put a new roof over the old one?
No. We always tear off to the deck so we can see and fix rotted wood, and install ice & water barrier, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and ventilation properly.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If the damage is in one area and the rest of the roof is solid, repair usually makes sense. If it leaks in several places, has more than one layer or the deck is soft, replacement is usually the better value. We show you photos so you can decide.
Do you repair and replace flat roofs?
Yes. We repair and replace flat and low-slope roofs with EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen on homes, two-families, multi-family and commercial buildings.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. We document the damage with photos and measurements, help with paperwork and can meet your adjuster. Your policy decides what is covered, and we never cover or waive deductibles.
Do you offer free estimates and financing?
Yes. On-site inspections and written estimates are free, and financing is available for larger projects; options depend on the project and approval.
