Is Your Roof Ready for Summer Storms
Did you know the number of storms with extreme rain in New Jersey coastal communities increased 71% over the last 50 years? That’s faster than anywhere in the U.S.
Just last year, Hurricane Erin blasted the Jersey Shore in August, and a big Nor’easter brought big problems in October.
Is your roof ready for summer? Now’s the time to find out.
Roof Tune Up
A roofing professional can take care of repairs and maintenance that prepare your roof for summer storms. To maintain a reliable moisture barrier and prevent damage, you may need to:
- Remove debris
- Nail down loose shingles
- Replace broken shingles
- Replace cracked caulking
- Seal or replace damaged rubber boots around vent pipes
- Clean off moss or algae
Storm-Resistant Shingles
If your roof is beyond fixing with simple repairs, clearing, and cleaning, it’s time for replacement. For coastal homes, we recommend storm-resistant shingles that are weather rated to withstand heavy winds, salty air, and sea sprays. Many come with a lifetime warranty – when properly installed!
Just remember, if you need a new roof, installation during the summer months is extremely difficult because of seasonal traffic and vacations, and the spring schedule is filling up fast.
