Roofing in Somerset

Somerset roofs take a beating. The freeze-thaw cycles in winter push water under shingles, where it wicks along the decking and rots the substrate from underneath. By spring, that rot shows up as sagging sections and peeled flashing. Our crews see it every year in North Somerset and the Raritan Valley area, where the older Colonial homes have steep pitches that shed snow poorly. We tear off the damaged layers, inspect the deck, and replace only what's gone bad.

Summer thunderstorms with hail leave their own signature: granule loss on asphalt shingles, pitted surfaces, and cracked tabs. A nor'easter can lift a field course right off the roof if the nails weren't ring-shank. We install with ring-shank nails and a self-adhered underlayment at the eaves, so the wind has nothing to grab. For the mid-century ranches in South Somerset, we often recover instead of a full tear-off — the roof structure can handle it, and it saves you money.

You should know what you're paying for. We give you a written scope before we start, and we walk you through each step — from the starter course to the staggered courses at the ridge. No surprises, no upselling. Just a roof that stays put through the next storm.
