What Is Spray Foam Roofing?
Spray foam roofing sprays liquid polyurethane that expands into a closed-cell foam, bonds to the substrate, and cures into a seamless, monolithic insulation-and-waterproofing layer under a protective coating. The coating shields the UV-sensitive foam from degradation.
What Spray Foam Roofing Is Available in Bloomfield?
Newark Quality Roofing applies seamless spray polyurethane foam and a protective coating to Bloomfield's flat and low-slope roofs. That work covers the storefronts and mixed-use buildings along the Broad Street, Bloomfield Avenue, and Garden State Parkway corridors, and the flat-roofed two-family homes and garden apartments that hold a slight majority of the township's units.
Spray polyurethane foam carries an aged R-value of R-6.0 to R-6.5 per inch, the insulation figure attributed to ICC-ES reports and ASTM C1289 LTTR testing and the SPFA, so a foam layer over a Bloomfield Avenue retail roof or a garden-apartment deck adds thermal resistance no single-ply membrane provides. Newark Quality Roofing core-samples and moisture-tests the existing assembly before any foam sprays.
Seamless foam sprays continuous around every curb, drain, and pipe penetration on Bloomfield's equipment-dense commercial rooftops, eliminating the welded seams that rank as the most common TPO failure mode and the seam separation that ranks as the dominant EPDM failure mode, per the InterNACHI life-expectancy chart and NRCA technical guidance. The monolithic surface wraps obstacles rather than terminating at them.
The protective coating shields the UV-sensitive foam from degradation, and the foam layer lasts 30 or more years when the coating is maintained, per the SPFA and SPF manufacturers. A recoat every 10 to 20 years restores the surface — an acrylic coating at 10 to 15 years and a silicone coating at 15 to 20 years.
What Spray Foam Roofing Problems Are Common in Bloomfield?
A foam recover applies only over a sound, dry existing roof carrying fewer than 2 covering layers, because the NJ Rehabilitation Subcode requires full removal once the existing roof is water-soaked or already carries 2 or more layers, per N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4. Newark Quality Roofing core-samples and moisture-tests a Bloomfield roof before quoting a recover.
Trapped moisture beneath the foam causes the blistering and adhesion loss the SPFA names as primary SPF failure modes, so a saturated section comes off before foam application. On Bloomfield's flat-roofed two-family homes and garden apartments — and on the low-lying Watsessing roofs near the Second River and Toney's Brook — infrared moisture scanning maps wet zones for replacement before the foam goes down.
Ponding water held on a low-slope roof more than 48 hours counts as a defect, because the NRCA requires positive drainage and a flat roof needs at least ¼ inch per foot of slope to drain, per the NRCA and ARMA. Foam thickness builds positive drainage into the surface, correcting the dead-flat decks common on Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue mixed-use buildings.
An eroded or weathered coating exposing the foam beneath signals a recoat, because the coating shields the UV-sensitive foam and a recoat every 10 to 20 years restores the surface, per the SPFA and SPF manufacturers. Newark Quality Roofing documents the recoat schedule for a building owner's records and for any tenant-occupied garden-apartment file.

What Is Our Process for Spray Foam Roofing in Bloomfield?
Newark Quality Roofing inspects the roof, core-samples an existing assembly, and tests substrate moisture before any foam sprays. Foam bonds directly to the substrate, and trapped moisture causes the blistering and adhesion loss the SPFA names as primary failure modes. A foam recover applies only over a roof carrying fewer than 2 covering layers, because the NJ Rehabilitation Subcode requires full removal once the roof is water-soaked or already carries 2 or more layers, per N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4.
Newark Quality Roofing sprays the closed-cell foam in controlled passes, builds positive drainage into the foam thickness, and finishes with a protective elastomeric coating to manufacturer specification. The foam cures into a seamless, monolithic layer carrying an aged R-value of R-6.0 to R-6.5 per inch, the insulation figure attributed to ICC-ES reports and ASTM C1289 LTTR testing and the SPFA, and varying the foam thickness builds the positive drainage the NRCA requires on a roof that needs at least ¼ inch per foot of slope. A Newark Quality Roofing crew applies foam within the manufacturer-specified temperature and humidity window.
Newark Quality Roofing recoats the foam on a maintenance cycle that extends service life past 30 years and documents the completed system for the building owner. The foam layer lasts 30 or more years when the coating is maintained, per the SPFA and SPF manufacturers, with an acrylic coating recoated at 10 to 15 years and a silicone coating at 15 to 20 years. A written workmanship warranty backs the labor, separate from the manufacturer material warranty that covers factory defects, per Owens Corning warranty guidance.
