Roofing in Lakewood
Lakewood runs from the senior communities off Route 9 to the older streets near Lake Carasaljo. Housing stock splits three ways: 1950s–1970s ranches, 1980s–1990s townhouses in Leisure Village, and newer vinyl-sided singles.
That mix drives the roof work here. Ranches near Ocean County Park often still carry original plank decking and three-tab shingle that has gone brittle. Townhouse roofs sit tight against shared walls and low-slope sections.
Nor'easters push rain sideways into step flashing and pipe boots. Summer humidity bakes asphalt shingle and speeds uv degradation. Freeze-thaw cycles open ice dam edges at the eave.
Common failures: granule loss on south-facing slopes, lifted ridge cap after wind damage, and ponding water behind clogged gutter runs near Georgian Court University.
What commercial-roofing Includes
A commercial-roofing scope isn't a residential patch job. It starts with a roof inspection and a written roof estimate tied to the building's actual assembly.
Crews work off scaffold or ladder with a safety harness. Torch and mastic are used only where the spec calls for them. Cleanup is part of the bid, not an add-on.
Quality & Materials Standards
Material choice follows pitch and substrate. Steep slopes take architectural shingle or laminated fiberglass; flat sections take modified bitumen, built-up roof, or a single-ply membrane. Metal panel and standing-seam panel suit long runs.
Every assembly needs ice-and-water shield at the eave, synthetic underlayment over the roof deck, and drip edge at the rake. Ridge vent and soffit vent must balance, or attic ventilation stalls.
New Jersey building code governs fastener spacing, sheathing, and ice barrier. We document the scope of work before tear-off and photograph decking, flashing, and any rot found.
If a storm damage insurance claim is involved, we meet the adjuster, supply claim documentation, and file a supplement when hidden damage surfaces. Deductible, depreciation, and replacement cost are explained up front.
