Ela from Somerset, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The roof is about 4,000 square feet and was stripped and replaced with the GAF Timberline Lifetime system in August of 2020. The job took in 421 feet of rakes, eaves and valleys – the edges and the water channels, which are where a roof leaks first and where the ice-and-water membrane has to go. A tear-off of that size is a two-day job done properly, and the decking underneath only shows what it is once the old layer is off.

Roofing questions from Somerset homeowners
What roofing shingle goes on most homes in Somerset, NJ?
The primary residential roofing offering uses GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles as part of a complete GAF roofing system. The installation can incorporate qualifying GAF leak barrier, roof deck protection, starter strips, Timberline HDZ shingles, ridge-cap shingles and attic ventilation products.
What is drip edge and why does it matter?
Metal flashing along the roof edges that directs water away from the deck and the fascia. It protects the most exposed part of the assembly and works together with the underlayment and the gutter, which is why the roof edge, the drip edge and the gutter are best looked at as one detail rather than three.
Can too many roof vents cause problems?
Yes. Mixing incompatible exhaust systems can disrupt airflow and cause one vent to pull air through another instead of through the soffits. The goal is balanced intake and exhaust that follows the roof and attic design.
