Most leaks are not the field of the roof. They are penetrations and transitions - step flashing at walls, pipe boots, valleys, chimney counterflashing. A roof can look sound and still leak at a boot that has gone brittle.
Storm claims turn on documentation. Photographed hail bruising and lifted shingles, recorded before any tarping, is the difference between a paid claim and a denial.
Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
What the job includes
- Full tear-off and replacement
- Leak diagnosis and targeted repair
- Flashing, valley and boot replacement
- Decking repair and ventilation
- Metal and low-slope systems
- Storm damage documentation for claims
Homes in Lakewood and roofing work
Public figures for the township of Lakewood in Ocean County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The median home in the township of Lakewood was built in 1994, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the New Jersey median of 1970.1 Lakewood's housing is newer than the national mix: 35% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 24% date from 2010 or later.1 Newer roofs are often still inside a manufacturer warranty, so the first question on a repair is whether the original installer's workmanship warranty or the shingle warranty applies. Rainfall is substantial: about 47 inches a year, 13 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Where heavy-rain days are common, the quote should name the underlayment and the valley and flashing details, which is where most leaks start.
Summers bring about 26 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Lakewood is about 8 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Near the coast, fastener grade and wind rating matter: ask for stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners and for the installed wind rating of the shingle system. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Lakewood are of similar age: median build years 1995 and 1995.1
Building permits in Lakewood are normally issued by the town or township office.6,7 Where a permit is required it is filed with the town or township office before the tear-off.
