Roofing Contractor Serving Garwood, NJ
Garwood is a compact borough of about 4,500 residents on less than two-thirds of a square mile in Union County, between Cranford to the east and Westfield to the west. It grew in the late 1800s as an industrial and residential community along the Jersey Central Railroad, home to manufacturers such as Hall Signal Company, Hercules Tube Works, and the Aeolian Company, once the world’s largest musical-instrument maker. Aeolian’s castle-like building is being converted to apartments. Route 28 is the main road through town, and Garwood has about 2,000 housing units.
Monarch Roofing & Construction serves Garwood from our base at 168 Humboldt St in East Rutherford. We repair and replace roofs, repair chimneys and flashing, and replace gutters and siding.
Roofing in a Small Former Mill Town
Garwood’s homes sit close together on a small footprint. Roofing work here calls for attention to detail and careful planning.
Older homes
Long-standing homes may carry multiple roof layers, worn chimney flashing, and porch roofs where low-slope sections meet the house. A full tear-off lets us inspect the deck and replace damaged wood.
Multi-family houses
For owners of rental properties, we coordinate access, protect tenants, and explain repair options clearly.
Tight lots
We plan dumpster placement and debris control to protect neighboring homes and driveways.
Winter
Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the eaves. Balanced ventilation, insulation, and leak barrier at the eaves help prevent them.
Roof Repair in Garwood
We replace damaged shingles, re-flash chimneys and walls, repair valleys and vent boots, and fix flat roof seams. See our roof repair services.
Roof Replacement in Garwood
A replacement includes tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, leak barrier at eaves, valleys, and walls, drip edge, new flashing, new roofing, and a ventilation review.
Chimney Repair and Flashing
We repoint mortar joints, repair or rebuild crowns, rebuild deteriorated chimneys above the roofline, and install new step and counter-flashing where the chimney meets the roof. See our chimney repair and flashing page.
Gutters and Siding
We replace gutters and downspouts, repair rotted fascia, and repair or install siding. Learn more about our gutter and siding services.
Choosing a Roofer
Ask for a written scope of work, ask whether any permit or approval applies, and ask how hidden deck damage will be priced. New Jersey generally requires home improvement contractors working on residential property to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs, and registrations can be verified online.
What Affects the Cost
Roof size, pitch, layers, deck repairs, chimneys, materials, and access all affect price. Your free written estimate explains the scope.
Garwood Roofing FAQs
Do you have an office in Garwood?
Our nearest regional office is in Red Bank, and our main headquarters is at 168 Humboldt St, East Rutherford, NJ 07073.
Do you work on multi-family homes?
Yes. We coordinate with owners and tenants and protect occupied units.
Do I need a permit?
Usually not. Replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family home is generally treated as ordinary maintenance under New Jersey’s Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7), so a construction permit is usually not required. Structural work such as replacing rafters, attached homes, and historic-district or HOA rules can change that, so check with your municipal construction office or ask us during your free inspection.

Roofs on Close-Set Homes
Garwood’s homes sit close together, so roofs shade one another and snow can linger on shaded slopes, encouraging ice dams at the eaves. Street trees fill gutters each fall. Freeze-thaw cycles slowly loosen chimney mortar and flashing, and summer storms bring gusts that catch aging shingle edges. Gutters and downspouts need to carry water away from both your foundation and your neighbor’s.
Chimney Care on Older Homes
Many long-standing Garwood homes have masonry chimneys. Signs a chimney needs attention include crumbling mortar joints, a cracked crown, loose bricks near the top, rust or tar on the flashing, and water stains on walls or ceilings next to the chimney. We provide chimney repair, repointing, crown repair, rebuilding above the roofline, and new chimney flashing.
Residential Roof Inspections
- Shingle condition and number of layers.
- Chimney flashing, crown, and mortar.
- Porch and wall transitions.
- Pipe boots and vents.
- Gutters and downspouts.
- Attic ventilation and moisture.
A Clear Estimate
For roof replacement in Garwood NJ, a clear estimate covers tear-off of all layers, decking repair terms, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, flashing, the shingle product, ventilation, protection of neighboring homes, and cleanup.
Leak Diagnosis and Storm Damage
Water often enters at chimney flashing, wall joints, cracked vent boots, or missing shingles. We trace it to the source. After a storm, photograph damage with the date, protect the interior, stay off the roof, and schedule an inspection. If you file an insurance claim, the insurer decides what is covered.
Flashing Details
- Chimney flashing: step and counter-flashing, with a cricket on wider chimneys.
- Pipe flashing: boots that seal plumbing vents.
- Step flashing: layered with shingles where roofs meet walls.
- Kick-out flashing: at the base of roof-to-wall joints.
Decking and Protective Layers
After tear-off, decking is inspected and damaged sections replaced. Ice and water shield goes at eaves, valleys, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment covers the rest; drip edge protects the perimeter.
Ventilation
Balanced soffit intake and ridge exhaust keeps attics drier and cooler, reducing ice dams and protecting shingles.
Gutters and Siding
We install gutters and siding along with roofs.
