Weather & Your Roof

How New Jersey Weather Damages Roofs

New Jersey roofs take a beating. The state sits in the path of coastal nor’easters, summer thunderstorms that carry damaging wind and hail, and winter systems that pile on snow and ice. Most of that damage is not dramatic. A few lifted shingles, a cracked seal around a vent, or a hairline split in flashing can go unnoticed from the ground for months, until it shows up as a stain on your ceiling.

That is why this page pairs a live radar with active storm alerts. When you can see a storm cell moving over your town, you know to check your roof afterward. And if the National Weather Service issues a warning for your county, NJ Roofing offers a free storm damage inspection to document anything that needs attention, including the photos and measurements your insurance company will ask for.

Year-Round In NJ

The Weather That Hits Your Roof

Each season brings a different threat. Here is what to watch for and what it does to a roof.

Spring Storms

Severe thunderstorms bring hail and straight-line wind that loosen and crack shingles. See roof repair.

Summer Heat

UV and heat cycling dry out and curl aging shingles. A good time for a roof inspection.

Fall Nor’easters

Coastal storms drive heavy rain and sustained wind under shingles and into flashing. See emergency repair.

Winter Ice

Ice dams force melt water back under shingles and into the roof deck. See flat roofing and gutters.
