Sharon from Summit, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2024. The old roof came off in a single layer that October – 2,500 square feet stripped back to the deck rather than shingled over – and went back on as a GAF Timberline Lifetime system. Tearing off instead of overlaying is the slower way to do it and the only way to see the deck: rot, split boards and tired flashing are all invisible under a second layer. There are 314 linear feet of rakes, eaves and valleys on this house, and those edges are where a roof fails first.

Roofing questions from Summit homeowners
How do snow loads affect roofing in Summit, NJ?
Typical snow is accounted for in building design, but heavy wet snow can expose weak framing, poor drainage, and vulnerable low-slope areas. Structural concerns, unusual deflection, or repeated ice buildup should be evaluated rather than addressed only with new shingles.
What happens if rotten plywood is found during a roof replacement?
Damaged or deteriorated roof sheathing should be replaced so the new roofing system has a solid fastening surface.
What are seamless gutters?
Gutters formed on site from continuous aluminium coil, so a long run has no field joints along its length. There are still joints at corners, end caps, outlets and downspout transitions, but removing the unnecessary seams removes the leak points that go with them. Pitch, fastening and downspout capacity still have to be right.
