Paramus roofs take a beating from the freeze-thaw cycle. Snow melts off a warm attic, refreezes at the eaves, and pushes water back under the shingles. That's how rot starts in the decking and how ice dams lift the starter course. We see it every winter in the Midland Park border area and the Oradell border area.
Our crew handles it with a full tear-off when the deck is compromised, or a recover when the structure is sound. We use self-adhered ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, ring-shank nails on every field course, and we stagger the courses so water can't find a straight seam. On the mid-century ranches from the 1950s and 60s, we often find the original skip sheathing — that gets replaced with solid decking before anything else goes down.
Summer thunderstorms bring hail and heavy rain. Hail pitting leads to granule loss, and granule loss accelerates end-of-life wear. If your roof is past 20 years, we'll tell you straight — a repair might hold for a season, but a replacement is the honest fix. We give you a free estimate and a timeline, and we don't start until you're sure.
