Bigger Lots, Bigger Roofs

North Edison is the part of the township that real-estate listings sell on space and commuting: larger lots, two-story colonials, and access to the Metropark, Metuchen and Edison train stations. Bigger houses mean bigger roofs, with long, uninterrupted faces that catch the wind. When a storm comes through, those faces are where shingles lift and seals break first, especially along the edges and the ridge. Many of the houses also have skylights added over the years. What you see after a windy night is often a few shingles on the lawn or a strip of lighter-colored underlayment showing on the roof. What it usually means is wind damage that will leak in the next rain if it isn't repaired.

Roof Calls From North Edison

On a larger two-story home, roofers need more safety equipment and staging, and replacement takes longer. Ask about how they'll protect landscaping and driveways during a tear-off.

What North Edison homeowners usually call about: leak and storm repair, a new shingle roof, a roof on an addition or garage, metal roofing, a flat section, or simply finding a roofer.
