What Cranford roofs are usually dealing with

Cranford has a real mix of houses. Near downtown and the Rahway River you'll find Victorians and 1920s colonials with steep roofs, dormers and old brick chimneys. Farther out, most streets are Cape Cods, ranches and split-levels from the 1940s through the '60s, many now on their second or third roof. Almost all of them sit under big, old trees.

  1. Full gutters and ice damsLeaves and seeds from mature trees clog gutters, water backs up at the roof edge, and in winter that turns into ice dams. We run ice and water barrier along every eave and size gutters for the roof.
  2. Old roofs on old deckingOlder homes often have plank sheathing under one or two layers of old shingles. We strip it all, check every board and show you photos before replacing anything.
  3. Where roofs meet wallsSplit-levels and Capes with dormers leak where a roof runs into a wall. That joint needs new step and counter flashing, not caulk.
Homes & storms

What Cranford homeowners should know about their roof

The Rahway River runs right through Cranford, and it has flooded parts of town more than once, including during Hurricane Floyd in 1999, Irene in 2011 and Ida in 2021. Floodwater is a ground-level problem, but the same storms bring hours of wind-driven rain. That is when worn flashing, clogged gutters and downspouts that dump water next to the foundation show up. After a big storm, a roof and gutter check is worth the half hour.
