Asphalt shingles still cover most houses in Mercer County because they hold up to the heat and the freeze cycles. We use 3-tab or architectural shingles with 130 mph wind ratings. Cheap crews skip the ice-and-water shield at the eaves, and that is the first spot that leaks once winter hits.
Trenton summers push roof temps past 140 degrees. That softens the sealant strips and lets wind lift edges. We always run ridge vent along the peak and step flashing at every wall. Skip either one and you get water behind the siding in East Trenton homes.
Mercer County wants a permit for any roof over 100 squares. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection the same day the job finishes. Homeowners who hire day-rate crews often end up paying the fine themselves when the inspector shows up.
Call 609-555-0199 for 24/7 emergency asphalt shingle repair. We carry extra bundles on the truck so a missing shingle or slipped valley does not turn into a living-room leak.
