Coastal Roofing And Sons | Roofing Services in Ventnor City, NJ 08406

In our coastal environment, roof deck rot is often caused by trapped moisture from humidity, driving rain, or small, unnoticed leaks. The salty air can also accelerate wood decay. We start with a thorough inspection to locate all compromised wood. We then remove the affected decking, treat the surrounding area to prevent mold, and install new, pressure-treated plywood that's better suited to withstand our local conditions before re-roofing.

While it might seem like a simple seal problem, skylight leaks in Ventnor often point to installation flaws or flashing that has failed under constant wind and weather stress. A temporary sealant rarely holds. We assess the entire skylight assembly—flashing, curb, and sealants—to address the root cause. Properly re-flashing the unit to integrate seamlessly with your roof is usually the permanent solution to stop water intrusion for good.

Prevention starts with proactive maintenance. We recommend an annual roof checkup, especially before and after the storm season, to catch small issues early. Keeping gutters clean to prevent water backup and ensuring attic ventilation is adequate to reduce moisture buildup are also key. For skylights, visually checking the interior for condensation and the exterior seal during your annual inspection can give you an early warning.
