Chimneys, Skylights and Vent Pipes: Where Pitched Roofs Leak First
The penetrations that cause most leaks.
EAST BRUNSWICK · MIDDLESEX COUNTY
A roof reaching its age on an East Brunswick colonial? Repair or a new roof, one call.
East Brunswick was incorporated in 1860 from parts of North Brunswick and Monroe townships, and it grew into one of the large suburban townships along Route 18 after World War II. Much of its housing is the subdivision stock of the 1960s through the 1980s, plus newer colonials. Many of those houses have bigger roofs with several planes, valleys and skylights. What you see on one of those roofs is often a leak at a skylight or a valley, or general wear across a roof that's reached about 20 years.
Winter tests valleys and skylights with ice. Summer heat ages shingles over large attics. When a roof with skylights is replaced, it's often the right time to replace or reflash the skylights too.
Calls from East Brunswick to (848) 212-8655 go to independent roofing companies that already work this part of Middlesex County. They handle roof leak and storm repair, shingle roof replacement, roof installation, metal roofs and flat sections. The price, the schedule and the contract are worked out between you and that roofer once they've seen the roof.
If your skylights are as old as the roof, ask for a price to replace them during the reroof. Doing it later means opening the new roof.
