Overview

Find the detail that failed. Fix it so the roof keeps working.

Commercial roof repair means finding where water gets through a flat or low-slope roof and fixing that detail, so the rest of the roof keeps doing its job. On a membrane roof, leaks start where the roof is joined or cut: a seam, a flashing at a wall or curb, a drain, an edge or a penetration.

Green Apple Roofing is a GAF GoldElite™ Commercial contractor and a GAF Master Elite® contractor, an NJ-registered Home Improvement Contractor #13VH11318100, and insured. Founded in 2008, we work from our office in Ocean Township and serve Monmouth and Ocean counties and all of New Jersey, from Toms River to Freehold. Replacing the whole roof instead? See commercial roofing. Leak at home rather than at work? See roof repair.

Water coming in right now? Our flat roof leak emergency guide covers what to do before anyone gets there.

Nor'easters hit New Jersey most often between October and April; the State Climatologist notes that rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. An open seam closed now is one fewer way in for the winter.

If the roof has more wrong with it than one detail, read commercial roof repair vs. replace before you sign anything, and keep it in shape afterward with commercial roof maintenance. On a GAF Diamond Pledge™ roof that is part of the deal: the owner must carry out regular inspections and maintenance and keep records.

If your roof carries GAF's guarantee: GAF's Diamond Pledge™ NDL Roof Guarantee covers leaks caused by a manufacturing defect, ordinary wear and tear, or workmanship in applying the GAF roofing materials, with no dollar limit on covered repairs. Leaks caused by non-GAF materials, such as the roof deck, are not covered. Under GAF's Diamond Pledge™, the building owner must report a leak to GAF in writing within 30 days. Telling the roofing contractor does not count as telling GAF. For complete terms, see the guarantee document.

On a roof under GAF's Diamond Pledge™, a repair by another contractor matters: repairs, modifications, additions or new rooftop equipment added after the roof is finished are excluded unless GAF approved them in writing first. Repairs GAF requires must be done by a GAF-certified contractor.

The code rules in the questions below are as of October 2026: the permit exemption is in N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7 and the tear-off rule in N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4. This is general information, not legal advice; your local construction office has the final word.

Where Flat Roofs Leak

Four details where commercial roofs leak.

A flat roof is a field of membrane joined at seams and cut around everything that comes through it. Commercial roof leak repair starts at those joins, not in the open field.

Seams

Where two sheets of membrane meet. An open or lifted seam lets water run sideways under the roof before it shows up on a ceiling, often well away from the opening.

Walls, curbs and parapets

Where the roof turns up a wall or around a rooftop unit curb. Flashing here moves with the building and is a common entry point after years of heat and cold.

Drains, scuppers and edges

Where water is supposed to leave the roof. A clogged drain or a loose edge holds water against the membrane and pushes it into any weakness nearby.

Penetrations

Pipes, vents, conduit and supports that pass through the roof. Each one is sealed separately, and each one is a place to look when a ceiling tile stains.

FAQ

Commercial Roof Repair questions, answered.

  • Commercial roof repair in New Jersey is not covered by the state's roofing permit exemption. That exemption, in place since March 5, 2018, applies only to the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family home. Townhouses, multi-family and commercial roofs, and any work that affects the structure, still go through the permit process (as of October 2026).
  • Commercial flat roof repair cost depends on what failed and how far water has traveled. Closing one open seam or resealing a penetration is a small job; water trapped under a section of membrane is larger. We give same-day estimates by phone, and we'll beat or match any reliable, legitimate roofing, siding or gutter quote.
  • Green Apple Roofing runs a 24-hour line at (201) 681-0060, and active leaks on commercial buildings get a same-day response. We give same-day estimates by phone. Our office is at 20 Conaskonk Dr, Ocean Township NJ 07712, and we serve Monmouth and Ocean counties and all of New Jersey.
  • A new roof can go over an old flat roof only within limits. In New Jersey (as of October 2026), the existing covering must come off first when it is water-soaked or too deteriorated to serve as a base, when it is wood shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile, or when it already has two or more layers.
  • A flat roof can be repaired when the leak comes from one detail, such as a seam, a flashing at a wall or curb, a drain, an edge or a penetration, and the rest of the membrane is sound. We give same-day estimates by phone at (201) 681-0060.
