Roof Repair in Colonia, NJ

Roofing in Colonia

Colonia is a residential section of Woodbridge Township in Middlesex County, just south of Rahway and Clark. It's mostly single-family homes - colonials, Cape Cods, ranches and split-levels - on quiet, tree-lined streets, with Inman Avenue and Route 27 nearby. A lot of the housing went up in the post-war decades, so roofs here are commonly on their second or third replacement.

Common roofing jobs in Colonia

• Roof replacement on aging shingle roofs
• Branch and storm damage on tree-lined streets
• Leaks from clogged gutters and ice dams
• Chimney and vent flashing
• Shingle repair after wind

Trees and gutters

Mature trees shade a lot of Colonia roofs. That's nice in summer, but it means leaves in the gutters every fall and damp, shaded roof slopes that grow moss and algae. Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of leaks at the roof edge, and they make ice dams worse in winter. Cleaning gutters in late November, after most leaves have dropped, prevents a lot of problems.

Thinking about a new roof?

If your roof is 20 years old or more and you're seeing curling shingles or granules in the gutters, it's worth getting an inspection and a quote before the next big storm. Our repair or replace guide and cost guide will help you know what to expect.
