What roofs face in New Jersey

  • Hurricanes & tropical storms
  • Snow & ice dams
  • High wind & severe storms

Shore wind and salt

Barrier-island and bayfront homes face coastal storms and salt corrosion. Wind-rated installation, secure edges and corrosion-resistant metals are standard near the water.

Suburban roofs reaching replacement

Many 1950s through 1980s suburban homes in Bergen, Middlesex, Monmouth and Morris counties are on their second or third roof, often with ventilation and decking problems to address at tear-off.

Winter ice dams

Snowy winters bring ice dams to homes with warm attics. Ice barrier along the eaves and attic air sealing are the main defenses.
