Acco Roofing Contractors | Roofing Services in Paterson, NJ 07522

In Paterson, roof nail pops are often caused by the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking due to temperature swings and humidity. Over time, this movement can push nails up, breaking the seal. We fix this by carefully removing the popped nail, sealing the hole, and installing a new, longer roofing nail with a neoprene washer in a fresh location to create a watertight seal that accommodates movement.

Chimney flashing is a complex, multi-piece system that seals the joint between your chimney and roof. In our area, constant freeze-thaw cycles and weathering can degrade the sealant (caulk) and metal, leading to leaks. Our repair process involves removing old caulk, inspecting and straightening or replacing damaged flashing sections, and applying new, high-grade sealants and proper counter-flashing techniques to ensure a durable, long-lasting waterproof seal.

The need for repair vs. replacement depends on the age of your roof, the extent of damage, and the condition of the underlying decking. For localized issues like a few nail pops or a single flashing leak, a repair is often sufficient. We recommend a replacement if repairs are widespread, the roof is near the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles in our climate), or if we find significant decking rot during our inspection. We provide a clear, honest assessment to guide your decision.
