Lodi roofs take a beating. Heavy wet snow loads in winter sit on decks for days, and the freeze-thaw cycles along the Hackensack River work the seams apart. We see it every year: shingles that have lost their granules, flashing that has lifted, and decking that has started to rot from moisture that wicked up under the field course. Our crews handle these repairs with a full tear-off when needed, or a recover when the substrate is still sound. We use self-adhered underlayment at the eaves and valleys, and we set every shingle with ring-shank nails so it stays put in a Nor'easter.
Working in Lodi means working around people. Many of the homes here are post-war ranches and capes from the 1950s and 1960s, with low slopes that collect debris and moss in the shaded corners. We set up tarps and magnetic nail sweepers to keep the yard clean, and we schedule the tear-off so the roof is dried in by nightfall. If you live in a Victorian or a turn-of-century multi-family, we take extra care with the flashing details around the chimneys and parapets. We have done roofs on the Main Street corridor and down by the waterfront, and we know how to handle the tight working space.
The high humidity here accelerates deterioration. Moss grows into the granules, lifting them and letting water seep under the shingle. We treat that with a zinc strip at the ridge and we clean the gutters as part of the job. You will not get a lecture about maintenance from us—you will get a roof that sheds water and does not leak. Call us when you see a problem, and we will come out and tell you exactly what needs to happen.
