Armor Shield Roofing | Roofing Services in Edison, NJ 08817

A proper new roof installation addresses flashing—the metal pieces that seal joints and edges—from the start. In Edison, where temperature shifts and storms are common, we use high-grade, corrosion-resistant flashing materials and secure them with precision to create a watertight seal. This proactive approach during a new installation is the best defense against the leaks and water damage that flashing failures cause.

While a single skylight leak might be repairable, recurring leaks often signal wider issues like aging shingles or compromised underlayment across your roof. For many Edison homes, if the roof is near or past its lifespan (typically 20-25 years), a full replacement is more cost-effective. This eliminates the leak source at the skylight and renews the entire roof system, preventing future problems elsewhere.

For Edison's mix of heat, humidity, and winter storms, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles for durability against hail and wind, or sturdy architectural shingles for enhanced longevity and curb appeal. We also prioritize advanced synthetic underlayment and proper ventilation systems. These materials work together to resist the moisture and thermal stress that lead to local issues like flashing and skylight failures.
