DIY vs Cheap vs Pro
Why We Beat DIY and Cheap Competitors Every Time
We see it all the time: a homeowner tries a weekend flat roof patch from the big-box store, or hires the lowest bidder. Here's how that stacks up against a licensed, insured Rockaway Roofing Pros install.
| Factor | DIY Patch Kit | Cheap Competitor | Rockaway Roofing Pros |
|---|---|---|---|
| Materials | Flashing cement or roll goods from Home Depot | Low-bid modified bitumen, often off-brand | Malarkey, GAF, or CertainTeed with 50-year warranties |
| Lifespan | 1-2 seasons before leaks return | 5-7 years if lucky | 20-30 years with proper slope and drainage |
| Code Compliance | Almost never meets NJ code | May cut corners, no permit pulled | Zero code violations since 2011 — we pull every permit |
| Insurance & Liability | None — you own every fall risk | Minimum coverage, often lapsed | $2M liability + workers comp, NJ HIC #13VH08923400 |
| Workmanship Warranty | None | 1-year, full of fine print | 5-year no-leak guarantee, hand-written contract |
| Storm Response | You alone on the ladder | Might show up next week | Same-day emergency tarp and repair — we live here |
| Real Result on Green Pond Road (2019) | N/A | N/A | TORCH-APPLIED 2-PLY MOD BIT — held three nor'easters, zero leaks |

Quick Answers
Flat Roofing Questions? We've Got the Answers.
We get a lot of questions about flat roofs in Morris County. Here's what homeowners in Rockaway, Denville, and Parsippany usually ask before they book.
- How much does flat roofing cost in Rockaway?
- Cost depends on size, material, and access. A typical 2,000 sq ft flat roof with TPO or PVC runs between $6,000 and $12,000. We write every contract by hand, so you see the exact line-item cost. No surprises.
- What's the best material for a flat roof around here?
- For our freeze-thaw winters, we install mostly TPO (rubber-like) and PVC. Both shed snow and ice well. Malarkey and GAF make solid membranes we have factory certification for. Modified bitumen is another option for older buildings.
- Can you repair a flat roof or does it need full replacement?
- We can patch most leaks if the membrane is less than 10 years old and the damage is localized. But once you have multiple blisters or ponding water, replacement is usually cheaper than chasing leaks. We inspected a house on Green Pond Road last year — three patches later, they went with a full TPO overlay.
- How long does a flat roof installation take?
- Most residential flat roofs are done in 2 to 4 days. That includes tear-off, deck prep, new membrane, and flashing. We don't rush — we want one crew start to finish so nothing gets missed.
- Do flat roofs leak more than sloped roofs?
- Not if they're installed right. The problem is standing water. We pitch the deck slightly so water runs to drains. We also flash every pipe and wall penetration with two layers. That's how we keep a 15-year track record with zero code violations.
- What warranties come with a flat roof?
- We offer 50-year transferable warranties on select GAF and CertainTeed membranes. Labor is covered by our written contract. You get the manufacturer paperwork and our license number (13VH08923400) on every job.
- Do you handle flat roofs on commercial buildings too?
- Yes. We do strip malls, offices, and apartment buildings in Morris County. Same crew, same materials, same written contract. We're licensed and insured with $2 million liability.
