Edison at a glance
| County | Middlesex |
|---|---|
| Typical homes | Ranches have long, low roofs with a lot of surface area and simple framing. Split-levels have multiple roof sections meeting at walls. Colonials built in the 1970s-1990s often have original skylights and ventilation that were never upgraded. Each style has its own weak spots. |

What to know about roofs on Edison's postwar homes
Most Edison homes are ranches, split-levels and colonials built after World War II, and many are now on their second roof, often with original skylights and small attic vents. Split-levels have extra joints where roof sections meet walls, which is where leaks tend to show up. Hurricane Sandy's winds in 2012 and Ida's flooding in 2021 exposed a lot of tired roofs across the township.
Herts Roofing & Construction knows Edison's postwar ranches, split-levels and colonials, and what tends to wear out on them at the same time: original skylights, undersized attic vents and the wall-to-roof joints on split-levels. We check all of it during the inspection and build it into one price. Our crews also replace old aluminum siding and build composite decks, so Edison homeowners get the whole exterior done by one team. Book a free inspection.
Edison houses by the numbers
Skylights
Original skylights from the 70s and 80s often leak at the curb. We replace or reflash them during the roof job.
Wall-to-roof joints on split-levels
Where a lower roof meets an upper wall, step flashing and siding need to be done together or water gets behind them.
Low-slope ranch sections
Some ranches have back additions with very little pitch. They need low-slope materials, not standard shingles.
How old is your roof?
Type a year to see where your roof likely stands. Most asphalt shingle roofs last about 20 to 30 years.

Questions from Edison homeowners
Should I replace my skylights when I get a new roof in Edison?
If your skylights are more than 20 years old, it usually makes sense. Replacing them during the roof job costs less than doing it later, and it avoids tearing into new shingles to fix a skylight leak.
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.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
We give a 15-year workmanship warranty on roof replacements, and Owens Corning systems carry manufacturer coverage on top of that.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold NJ HIC# 13VH11388400 and carry liability and workers' comp insurance. We are happy to send certificates.
