The combination of our region’s humid continental climate and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean creates perfect conditions for devastating storm damage. Summer brings intense thunderstorms with winds exceeding 60 mph, while winter delivers heavy snow loads that can exceed 40 pounds per square foot on your roof. Spring and fall bring their own challenges with rapid temperature swings that cause roofing materials to expand and contract repeatedly.
Winter presents unique challenges that many other regions don’t face. Heavy snow accumulation on your roof can exceed design loads, while ice dams create conditions for significant water infiltration. When snow melts during the day and refreezes at night, it can work its way under shingles and cause extensive interior damage. We inspect for ice dam damage, check gutters for ice-related stress, and evaluate ventilation systems that help prevent these problems.
Our region’s frequent rain and snow create numerous opportunities for water to find its way into your home. We look for compromised flashing around chimneys and vents, damaged or missing shingles, clogged gutters that allow overflow, and any other potential entry points that could lead to mold, rot, or structural damage.
High winds are particularly destructive in our area because they often come with little warning during fast-moving storms. We frequently see wind speeds of 50-70 mph during severe thunderstorms, and these can easily lift asphalt shingles, tear off metal roofing panels, or damage flashing around chimneys and vents. Our inspection process includes checking for loose or raised shingles, examining underlayment exposure, and testing the integrity of all roof penetrations.
North Jersey experiences significant hailstorms, especially during late spring and early summer. Hail stones larger than quarters can crack asphalt shingles, dent metal roofing, and damage gutters. Even smaller hail can strip protective granules from shingles, accelerating their deterioration. Our technicians are trained to identify both obvious and subtle hail damage that insurance adjusters often miss.
