Wyckoff Roofers — Sixty-year-old splits on wooded lots
Wyckoff’s residential streets are dominated by 1960s suburban colonials and split-levels sitting on the kind of larger, tree-canopied lots that make Bergen County’s northwest distinctive. Most of those roofs are now on their second cycle — and the calls we get tend to be about whether a partial replacement is still worth it, or whether the deck is far enough gone that a full tear-off makes more sense.
Splits, dormers, and the flashing they need
A 1960s Wyckoff split-level isn’t a single roof — it’s three or four planes meeting at different pitches, usually with an attached garage flashed in at a lower elevation. That geometry is where most leaks start. On every replacement we strip back to the deck, replace any rotted sheathing, and re-do step flashing in copper or heavy-gauge aluminum at every wall and chimney tie-in. Ice & water shield runs the full 24 inches past the wall line per NJ code, plus every valley.
Wooded lots and storm season
Tree exposure is the other defining feature of working in Wyckoff. Branches drop, limbs come through, and after a real wind event the storm and leak repair line is the first call. We keep emergency tarping ready and coordinate scheduling around tree work where we can. For non-emergency replacements in Bergen County we also serve Glen Rock, Ridgewood, and Paramus — same crew, same standards.
