Roofing in Parsippany

Parsippany sits between 280 and 480 feet above sea level in Morris County, and that elevation shapes how roofs fail here. Heavy wet snow loads in winter months push down on low-pitch roofs, and when the snow melts during the day and refreezes at night, water backs up under the shingles. We see the results as rot in the decking and decay along the eaves. Our crews tear off the old shingles down to the substrate, replace any rotted plywood, and install a self-adhered ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys. That stops the wicking before it starts.

Nor'easters bring intense wind and rain, and that means lifted shingles and blown-off ridge caps. We use ring-shank nails and hand-seal the field course along the edges so the shingles hold in a 70-mph gust. In the summer, humidity accelerates algae and moss growth, especially on the north side of the split-level homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. We install algae-resistant shingles or add zinc strips to keep the roofline clean. If you're in Lake Parsippany or Troy Hills, you know the drill – call us before the next storm, and we'll make sure your roof can take it.
