A Suburban Township Off the Parkway
Clark is a suburban township southwest of Elizabeth, crossed by the Garden State Parkway, with neighborhoods of single-family houses built largely after the Second World War. Ranches, split-levels, Capes and colonials line its streets, nearly all with shingle roofs. Many of those roofs are reaching the age where owners start deciding between one more repair and a new roof, and some are weighing solar panels at the same time. What you see is granules in the gutters and shingles that look flat and worn. What it usually means is a roof near the end of its life.

Clark Roof Work
If you're thinking about solar panels in the next few years, replace an aging roof first. Removing panels later to reroof adds cost.
One Number From Clark
Calling (908) 270-5628 from Clark puts you through to an independent roofing company that already works across Union County, on single-family houses, two-families, porches and garages. They handle leak repair, shingle roofs, flat roofs, full replacements and porch and garage roofs. Price and timing are settled between you and that company after they've looked at the roof.
Split-levels have roofs that meet walls at several heights. Ask the roofer to check every one of those joints, not just the main roof.
