Storm Damage Roof Repair in Lincoln Park, Cranford: what actually fails
Lincoln Park's long, low ranch roofs show storm damage along their eaves and rakes, where wind gets under the first course. The edges are checked course by course, and the drip edge with them. On the taller Victorians on the same blocks, the damage is more often high on a gable, so the two houses get very different reads after one storm.

Call (908) 503-0136Note 01Can a tree limb damage the roof deck?
Yes, and it often does more damage below the shingles than on them. A heavy limb can crack boards and rafters, so after a strike the attic is checked from inside before anything on top is priced. Do not climb up to move the limb yourself.
Note 02What does wind damage on shingles look like?
Missing shingles are obvious. Less obvious are shingles that lifted, creased across the top and lay back down, broken seal strips, and loose ridge caps. Creased shingles have lost their grip and are replaced, which is why every slope is walked.
Note 03Is it safe to remove a branch from my roof myself?
Not from the roof, and not near wires. A branch can be holding a crack closed, and a wet roof is no place to work. Leave it, keep people out from under it, and call.
