| Typical homes | Homes in the first few blocks from the beach take the most wind and salt, so edges, ridges and metal get the most attention. Further inland, the housing is more mixed, and the usual issues are older roofs with multiple layers and tired flashing. |

What to know about roofs on Long Branch's shore homes
Long Branch mixes grand older homes in Elberon with beach bungalows and newer houses near the ocean. What they share is wind and salt air. Hurricane Sandy wrecked much of the boardwalk and damaged homes near the beach in 2012, and every nor'easter tests roof edges, siding and deck boards along this stretch of coast.
Herts Roofing & Construction installs Long Branch roofs, siding and decks for the oceanfront: high-wind nailing, sealed edges, wind-rated ridge caps and rust-resistant metals. After a storm we inspect and photograph the damage so you have clear documentation for your insurance company. From Elberon's older homes to beach bungalows, we match the work to the house.

Oceanfront vs. a few blocks in
Storm damage
After a nor'easter, we inspect and photograph damage. We can't promise claim approval, but we give you clear evidence.
High-wind installation
Six-nail patterns, sealed starter strips and wind-rated ridge caps help keep the roof on.
Salt and metal
Corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners keep metal from rusting through near the beach.
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.
