Replacing a roof in Edison

Most homes in Edison are lived in by the people who own them, about 61 percent, which means the call on a new roof usually rests with you rather than a landlord. That decision is easier when you know what tips the balance away from spot fixes. A roof nearing the end of its service life, granule loss spread over whole slopes, decking that flexes underfoot, and a second layer already nailed over the first all point toward a complete replacement.

Middlesex County recorded 28 hail reports, with stones as large as 1.75 inches. If hail worries you, ask whether impact-rated shingles are an option for your house and how they compare with standard ones in weight and look.

Then work through the practical side with the contractor. Which material fits the pitch and style of the home? How many working days should you plan around, and what happens if rain interrupts? What does the manufacturer's warranty cover, and does it require registration? Will the crew strip everything down to the deck, protect the yard, and haul the debris away?

On permits, Edison is a case where the rule depends on scope: the township and the state code describe roof covering work differently. Confirm with the Edison Township Division of Construction Code Enforcement, and agree in writing on who files any application.
