Storm Damage Roof Repair in Roosevelt Manor, Cranford: what actually fails
After a storm, Roosevelt Manor's tall Victorians catch the wind on their gables and ridges first. Lifted ridge caps, creased shingles high on steep planes, and flashing pulled at the dormers are what gets checked. On roofs this steep, the slopes are reached with staging and harnesses rather than guessed at from below, because the damage sits highest where it is hardest to see.
Cranford's 1894 plan on the north side by the Rahway River, built up through the 1890s and 1900s with Victorian houses and summer mansions, and recommended, though not designated, as a historic district.

Call (908) 503-0136Note 01What should I do if a storm blows shingles off my roof?
Gather the shingles from the lawn, they help match the repair, and photograph the roof from the street. A few missing shingles with a dry ceiling is a repair for the next dry day; water coming in is cover tonight. Note the roof's age and installer too, in case its warranty still applies.
Note 02How much does it cost to fix roof damage?
National figures put storm-damaged roofing at $9.20 to $11.62 per square foot of damaged area, so 100 square feet is roughly $920 to $1,160 before access and decking. A few shingles fall inside the $300 to $3,000 band for repairs; a limb through the boards costs more.
Note 03What 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.
