Wind storms in Mercer often tear asphalt shingles right off the edges first. Cheap crews skip the step of nailing new felt down tight so the next rain soaks the deck. We use GAF Timberline shingles rated for 130 mph winds on most Trenton homes because the humid summers bake the old ones brittle.
Cold winters freeze the underlayment and make it crack when wind lifts a corner. Houses near the Trenton Battle Monument get extra gusts that pull flashing loose at the chimneys. We always pull permits with the city before we cut any decking because Mercer code wants 8d nails every 6 inches on the perimeter.
Fast fixes that just slap tar over a tear fail in the next hot spell when the patch melts and runs. In South Trenton many older roofs have 3 layers already so we check the rafters for rot before we quote. One common miss by low bidders is leaving the drip edge bent instead of replacing it straight.
Call 609-555-0123 right after a storm if you see daylight through the sheathing. We show up with tarps same day to keep water out of the attic until the full repair starts.
