Kendall Park Springtime Roof Repairs & Replacement

By

Springtime is right around the corner, but with the rough  and over abundance of snow New Jersey residents had in Winter 2014 we had in 2014, many roofs took a beating.

Do you live in the Kendall Park area and wonder how good of shape your roof is in? after such a harsh winter Before contacting your Kendall Park Roofing contractor, here are some telltale signs that’s you are in need of some roof repairs or a roof replacement:

  • Buckling of the shingles – This happens when for a few reasons. Sometimes the roof itself is poorly ventilated or was poorly installed. Other times it can be because new shingles were laid over the old ones. Buckling looks like rigid and uneven spots that sort of look like bumps on your roof. If there are multiple spots of your roof that are buckling, you may need to contact a Kendall Park roofing company to do a full roof replacement.

  •  Shingles falling off of your roof. This is an obvious one. If you’re consistently finding shingles in your yard or gutters, then you need to tackle the problem right away.

 

  •  Caving in of the ceiling. Check the rooms of your home and in the attic. This indicates water damage which can quickly lead to leaks.
  •  Rotting of the shingles. Rotting shingles will have holes in them or just look eroded. If some shingles are visibly rotting, this means that there’re probably other areas that aren’t visible where rot is taking place. This calls for mandatory repair or replacement from a Kendall Park roofing contractor to prevent damages to become worse for your home and your wallet.
  •  Aging. If your Kendall Park is over 20 years old, you’ve got to face the fact that just repairing it will be nothing but a poor investment due to further problems that you will experience. It’d be best to just go for a new roof.
  •  Signs of algae or moss. If you find that some shingles are discolored and are sort of slimy, this is the result of algae or moss growth. This occurs due to moisture that is trapped in your roof. To prevent things such as leaks, you should call a Kendall Park roofer to help you with this problem.
  •  Termites. You should get a termite inspection for your roof every so often to ensure your roof isn’t being eaten away. Prolonged termite infestation can result in the need for major roof repairs or even a full replacement.

Kendall Park NJ Common Roofing Questions

There are a lot of questions that a roof owner may have in the Kendall Park NJ area. Today, we decided to answer a few of the most commonly asked ones:

Kendall Park NJ Roofing Q & A

Kendall-Park-NJ-Roofer

  • There is no roofing felt under the shingles. Is this the right way to install them?

No. Unless it’s an overlay, there should be felt separating the roofing materials and the deck. Many times people will do it the wrong way to save money. The felt acts as a vapor barrier between the roof deck and the shingles, is a waterproofing element of the roof, and prevents the wood deck from sucking up oils from the asphalt shingles.

  • How much longer will a metal roof last than more common roofing materials like asphalt or wood shingle? 

A metal roof will last at least 2 to 3 times longer than a regular roof. While asphalt roofs last usually 15-20 years if maintained, a metal roof will usually last 40 to as many as 60 years! Not only that, metal doesn’t decompose or deteriorate like wood and asphalt.

 

  • How often should I have my gutters cleaned?

It is recommended to clean your gutters at least twice a year. If you’ve got a bunch of trees that are close to your Kendall Park NJ roof, you should clean them 3-4 times annually.

  • Why does a roof need ventilation? 

Ventilation helps reduce the heat in the attic during the summer months and helps decrease moisture buildup under your roof. This is important because it puts less wear and tear on your shingles and roof deck.

Hillsborough Roof Replacements – Roofing Company in Central NJ

By

Hillsborough Roofing ContractorWhen you are deciding on getting a new roof, you have a couple options. To avoid a mess and spend less, people often consider just having a Hillsborough roofer shingle over the old eroded roof. The other option is just to get a full replacement. Although the first option seems better off the bat, it isn’t the wisest choice to make. There could be leaks and wood damage that you don’t even know about. Once you just shingle over your roof and problems arrive, you’ll end up paying way more than you would have if you had just gotten a full roof replacement. Also, having two shingle layers on your roof make it more weight for your roof deck to hold up, make your roof absorb more heat which erodes it faster, allows a place for algae and bacteria to thrive between layers. Between short term and long term problems that can and will arise, any good Hillsborough roofing contractor would agree that it would be a much better choice to get your roof replaced rather than re-layered.

Biondo Contracting is a Hillsborough area roofing company that does roof repairs and roof replacements all over central New Jersey in towns such as East Brunswick, South Brunswick, Milltown, Highland Park, Marlboro, Aberdeen, Colts Neck, Dayton, Kendall Park, and many more.

Top Signs You Need a New Roof

By

North Brunswick roofing companySo you have a residence in North Brunswick, in Middlsex County, NJ, and you’re wondering if last year’s  Hurricane Sandy storm warrants some roof repairs? t A lot of times it’s not easy to determine if you need a new roof, or even some roofing repairs.

A roof is not something that most people inspect on a regular basis. Getting into the habit of inspecting your roof can save you a lot of money. A lot of times, a little repair is all that’s needed to fix a roof is the damage is caught early. Not checking your roof for damages can result in eventually having to replace the whole roof. Other benefits of checking the health of your roof are it helps keep your house value up, and you won’t be surprised by any roof leaks  during a rain storm. 🙂

North Brunswick Roofing Tips

When beginning your roof inspection, you should start from the inside, which means, go to your attic. Here are some indicators of damage that you should look for when you are up there:

  • areas of the roof deck that seem to be caving in
  • sunlight shining in from outside
  • places where there are dark spots or trails
  • spots where there’s indication of leaks or water damage

After that it’s time to get up on the roof and do an exterior inspection. Here are some things to look for that will let you know how good of shape your roof is in:

  • broken or missing shingles
  • a lot of shingle grains in the gutters
  • indicators of rot and mold under the shingles or shingles with a green algae-like coating
  • erosion around the chimneys, vents, and pipes
  • faulty drainage system (whether water flows easily in the gutter and drains out smoothly)

In our area of  Middelsex County NJ, it’s good to do a roof inspection at least twice a year. That way, you can prevent any severe accumulated damage.
