  • Battery-ready: designs include space and wiring for future storage.

Why Go Solar in Jersey City?

Homes around Downtown Jersey City, tree-lined avenues, winter shade pockets, residential blocks benefit when tilt, spacing, and shade are tuned for local conditions. With PSE&G net metering, daytime production earns credits that offset evening use and seasonal peaks.

Roof Integrity First

As roofing pros, we protect underlayment, repair decking as needed, and choose mounts that preserve waterproofing. Flats can use ballasted or low-penetration rails; steeper slopes get tuned standoffs and spans.

Incentives & Financing

Jersey City homeowners can leverage the 30% Federal ITC, NJ Clean Energy benefits, and PSE&G net metering. Choose cash, $0-down loan, or lease; we model production conservatively.

Installation Process

  1. On-site evaluation: rafters, decking, shading, azimuth.
  2. Design & equipment: high-efficiency panels with module-level inverters or hybrid string topology.
  3. Permitting: city filings and NEC-compliant electrical plans.
  4. Build day: roof-anchored sealing, torque checks, and code-accurate wiring.
  5. Inspection & PTO: pass inspection and enable export.

Why Jersey City Homes Need Pro Roofing

  • Storm cycles, snow loads and summer heat accelerate shingle wear and flashing failures.
  • Older housing stock requires code updates at penetrations, chimneys and skylights.
  • Balanced intake/exhaust ventilation prevents moisture problems and attic heat.
  • Ice/water shield, drip edge and underlayment systems extend service life.
  • Photo documentation supports insurance claims and resale disclosures.

What We Do – Scope & Standards

  • Leak diagnostics at valleys, step flashing, pipe boots, skylights and chimneys.
  • Shingle repair and full replacements with code-compliant tear-offs.
  • Manufacturer-spec underlayments, flashing kits and fastener schedules.
  • Ventilation upgrades: soffit intake, ridge exhaust, baffles and attic airflow.
  • Gutters/downspouts, drip edge, and ice/water shield protection.

4-Step Process

  1. Inspect: roof, penetrations and interior symptoms (stains, moisture).
  2. Plan: scope, materials, ventilation and staging with clear schedule.
  3. Build: repairs/replacement to spec with daily cleanup and photo logs.
  4. Protect: warranty registration and homeowner maintenance tips.
