The Census Bureau's latest five-year housing estimates show what kind of roofs Orange has. Apartment buildings typically have flat or low-slope roofs with a membrane, drains and parapet walls. Houses and most two- to four-family homes typically have pitched roofs with shingles, and some older ones have slate. The repair method and the permit rule differ for each.

A ceiling stain, shingles in the yard after wind, or a roof old enough that patches keep failing. The first question is whether one spot failed or the whole roof is worn. That decides between a repair and a replacement.
About three in four occupied homes in Orange are rented, so the person calling is often the owner or manager, not the person living under the leak. Have the address, the roof type if you know it, how to reach the roof (hatch, stair bulkhead or ladder), and which unit is taking water.
Roof work has to be authorized by the building owner. Tell your landlord or property manager right away, keep a dated photo of the leak, and pass them this page or our number.
A ceiling stain does not mean the whole roof has failed. Water gets in at one point and travels before it shows indoors. The condition of the roof around that point decides whether a repair is enough.

The state rule and the commission's FAQ do not say the same thing about permits for a one- or two-family house in a historic district. Call the Building and Construction Division and confirm before work starts.
The more R&E knows before the visit, the more useful the visit is. Say what kind of building it is, how the roof is reached, and whether water is coming in now.
Call (667) 204-1609 or send the form with the Orange address, the type of building, and what you are seeing.
R&E asks whether water is coming in now, sorts the request by urgency, and talks through roof access and timing.
On site, R&E finds where the water gets in and checks the roof around it: covering, flashing, drains or gutters, and any decking that can be seen.
R&E explains what it found and the repair or replacement that fits, in writing, before any work starts.

Yes. R&E Roofing's office is at 573 Valley Street in Orange, New Jersey, ZIP code 07050, in Essex County. That is the City of Orange Township, not East Orange, West Orange or South Orange, which are separate towns. The phone number is (667) 204-1609 and office hours are Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.
Move belongings out of the way, catch the water in a container, and stay off the roof. Then call R&E Roofing at (667) 204-1609 with the address, the type of building, and where the water is showing. Urgent calls are sorted during office hours, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. When someone can come depends on weather, crew capacity and safe access to the roof.
It depends on the building. New Jersey's construction code lists repair or replacement of existing roof covering on detached one- and two-family dwellings as ordinary maintenance, which may be done without filing a permit application. Three-family houses, apartment buildings and mixed-use buildings are not named in that listing, and work that affects structure is never ordinary maintenance. Most housing in Orange is in buildings like those, so ask the city's Building and Construction Division before work starts. It is at City Hall, 29 North Day Street, and City Hall's main number is 973-952-6100. In Orange's historic districts, the Historic Preservation Commission's FAQ says a building permit from the city is still required even when the same material goes back on.
Orange has four historic districts: Orange Valley, Montrose/Seven Oaks Park, Main Street and St. John's. The Historic Preservation Commission's FAQ says a Certificate of Appropriateness is needed when the building is in a historic district and the work is visible from the street. Replacing roofing with the same material, such as slate with slate or asphalt shingles with similar-looking shingles, does not need the certificate, but the FAQ says a building permit from the city is still required. Confirm both with City Hall before you sign a contract.
Yes. R&E Roofing repairs and replaces flat and low-slope roofs as well as shingle roofs. On an apartment or mixed-use building the visit covers the membrane, seams, drains, vents and the edges where the roof meets parapet walls, because the unit with the ceiling stain is not always directly under the leak.
You can call to ask what to do, but roof work has to be authorized by the building owner. Tell your landlord or property manager right away, keep a dated photo of the leak, and give them R&E Roofing's number, (667) 204-1609, so the owner or manager can request the visit.
R&E does not quote a price for a roof it has not seen. The cost depends on the roof's size, its material, how many layers have to come off, the condition of the decking, and how hard the roof is to reach. R&E's New Jersey roof replacement cost guide on this site gives the ranges it has published, and a written estimate follows an on-site look at your roof.
R&E does not publish a fixed response window. The office is in Orange, but timing still depends on how urgent the problem is, the weather, crew capacity, safe access to the roof and the work already scheduled. Say clearly if water is coming in now so the request is sorted correctly.
Give the address, the type of building, when the problem started, and whether water is coming in now. R&E uses those details to sort the request and set up the visit.
