What to know about roofs on Asbury Park's shore homes
Many Asbury Park homes are Victorians and cottages built for the resort town between the 1870s and the 1920s, often just blocks from the beach. Salt air corrodes cheap flashing and fasteners, and nor'easters lift roof edges and siding. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 showed how quickly shore weather can damage an older home.
Herts Roofing & Construction builds Asbury Park work for the ocean. Salt air eats cheap fasteners and flashing, so we use corrosion-resistant metals. Nor'easter winds lift roof edges, so we install to high-wind specs. On restored Victorians we protect the porches, dormers and trim that make these homes special, and we build decks that stand up to shore weather. Book a free inspection.
Shore weather is hard on roofs
Salt air corrodes steel fasteners and cheap flashing. Ocean wind gets under shingle edges and siding panels. Sand and debris wear gutters. A roof that would last 25 years inland can fail sooner at the shore if it's not built for it.
Corrosion
We use aluminum or coated flashing and corrosion-resistant fasteners so metal doesn't rust through.
Nor'easter wind
High-wind nailing and sealed starter strips at every edge help keep shingles down.
Restored Victorians
Decorative trim, porches and dormers need careful work so the house keeps its character.
After a storm in Asbury Park: what do you see?
Check anything you've noticed. Stay off the roof, and look from the ground.

Good questions
How long does a roof last in Asbury Park compared to inland towns?
It depends on how it was installed. Near the ocean, salt air and wind can shorten the life of a roof that wasn't built for it. With high-wind installation and corrosion-resistant metal, a shore roof can last much closer to its rated life.
Can you help with a storm damage claim?
We inspect, photograph and document the damage, and we can meet your adjuster. Whether the claim is approved is up to your insurer.
Do you go over the old roof or tear it off?
We tear off every layer down to the decking. That is the only way to find rotted wood and give you a roof that lasts.
What shingles do you install?
We are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, so most of our roofs are Owens Corning architectural shingles. Premium lines are available too.
