SCOPE OF WORK

What we did.

For this Berkeley Heights project, Landstar completed a full flat roof replacement in EPDM. The crew installed new plywood decking, new insulation, and fasteners, then rolled out and bonded the EPDM roofing membrane and finished the perimeter with new edging. The chimney was repaired as part of the same project. The photos document the roof through every stage — decking, insulation, the EPDM membrane, the finished surface, and the chimney work.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why it matters.

A full EPDM replacement is more than the membrane you see on top. New decking, insulation, and properly fastened layers underneath, tight detailing around the skylights and chimney, and clean perimeter edging all decide how the roof performs and how long it lasts. This Berkeley Heights project gives homeowners a clear look at the full build, from bare decking through the finished EPDM system.
