A Bloomfield roofer who plans for tight blocks
Bloomfield is a dense neighborhood of brick rowhouses and attached homes on narrow streets. Straight A Exterior Renovations offers roof repair, roof replacement, rubber roofing for low-slope sections and gutter work to Bloomfield homeowners.
On a block where homes share walls and front doors open almost onto the sidewalk, how a roofing job is run matters as much as the roof itself. Debris has to be contained. Neighbors' roofs and windows have to be protected. Materials have to arrive and leave without blocking the street all day.
We plan all of that before work begins. You get a free inspection, a written quote and a dedicated project manager who keeps you posted.
Local know-how
Common roof issues on Bloomfield homes
Bloomfield's housing is mostly older brick, with many homes attached or set very close together. The roofs tend to be small, but they carry a lot of detail for their size.
Low-slope rear roofs
Rear sections over kitchens and back rooms are often low-slope. These need rubber roofing, and they are where many Bloomfield leaks start.
Attached homes and close neighbors
Shared walls and very small gaps between houses make flashing and debris control more important than on a detached home.
Brick chimneys on small roofs
Older brick homes often have a chimney that takes up a good share of a small roof. The flashing around it needs regular checks.
Narrow streets
Parking is tight and streets are narrow. Staging and debris removal are planned around that from the start.

Our process
Roofing steps for Bloomfield homes
We tarp around the work area, protect neighboring roofs and windows, and keep the sidewalk clear from start to finish.
- Step 1
Free inspection
We check the shingles, decking and the flashing around brick chimneys and shared walls, including any soft spots on a rear roof.
- Step 2
Written estimate
You get a detailed quote that shows whether repair or replacement makes sense, and how staging will work on your block.
- Step 3
Insurance support for storm damage
If a storm caused the damage, we photograph it, help you report it and deal with the insurer and adjuster alongside you.
- Step 4
Installation
Adjoining roof edges and windows are covered, debris is contained, and the shared wall is flashed so both homes stay dry.
- Step 5
Cleanup and final walk-through
We clear debris from the roof, the sidewalk and the small yards between houses, then walk the property with you.
- Step 6
Warranty activation
Your lifetime product warranty on the roofing materials and our 2-year workmanship guarantee start when the work is complete.
FAQ
Questions from Bloomfield homeowners
Is it worth repairing an old rowhouse roof, or should I replace it?
It depends on the condition of the shingles, the decking and the flashing. We inspect all three and show you photos. If a repair will do the job, we quote the repair.
How do you protect my neighbors during the job?
We cover adjoining roof edges and windows, contain debris and keep the sidewalk passable. On attached homes, we flash the shared wall so both houses stay dry.
My rear roof has a soft spot. What does that mean?
A soft spot usually means the decking underneath has taken on water. We check it from above and, where possible, from inside. Damaged decking is replaced before the new roof goes on.
Can you handle a storm damage claim on an attached home?
Yes. We document the damage on your roof with photos, help you report it and work with your insurance company. We focus on your roof and the joint with your neighbor's.
Do you offer free estimates in Bloomfield?
Yes. Inspections and estimates are free, with no obligation and no pressure.
Can you fix the flashing where my roof meets the house next door?
Yes. The joint at a shared wall is one of the most common leak points on attached homes. We inspect it, show you photos, and re-flash it so water is directed off both roofs instead of into the wall.
