Porch Roof Repair in the Hill Section, Passaic: what actually fails

A Hill Section porch roof belongs to a big, old house and often takes the runoff of a steep main roof above it. Where that runoff lands, the porch roof is worn first, and the repair spreads the water out or leads it to the edge.

The Hill Section is where Passaic's captains of industry built their homes, from the middle 1870s until about the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, by the City Historian's account. St. Mary's Hospital moved up here a few years after its founding in 1895.

  • Small flat roofs taking a steep roof's runoff
  • Porch roofs under a big main roof
  • Every valley where the slopes meet
  • The uphill side of each chimney

What Porch Roof Repair in the Hill Section, Passaic costs

Note 01Why is my porch ceiling stained?

Water is getting through the porch roof, most often at a low spot or where it meets the wall. On a porch with another porch above it, the stain can come from the roof upstairs.

Note 02Can you repair a wraparound porch roof in sections?

Yes. Each run and each corner is checked for fall, and only the parts that hold water or have failed are repaired.

Note 03Is a sagging porch roof dangerous?

It can be, if the sag comes from rotted boards or framing. Keep weight off it and have it looked at, because a sag also holds water that makes the rot worse.
