First Rate Roofing and Chimney | Roofing Services in Edgewater, NJ 07020

Granule loss and flashing corrosion are common issues in our coastal climate, often caused by salt air and weather exposure. Granule loss can signal an aging roof that may need repair or replacement, while corroded flashing can lead to leaks. We start with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage. For flashing, we typically remove the corroded sections and install new, properly sealed metal flashing. Depending on the granule loss, we may recommend targeted repairs or, if widespread, a roof replacement to protect your home. We use materials suited to withstand local conditions.

Our comprehensive roof inspection is a detailed evaluation of your entire roofing system. We check for missing or damaged shingles, examine the condition of flashing around chimneys and vents, assess the gutters and downspouts for proper function, and look for signs of leaks, moss, or structural issues in the attic. For chimneys, we inspect the masonry, crown, and cap. After the inspection, we provide you with a clear, written report of our findings, photos if needed, and honest recommendations for any maintenance, repair, or replacement, along with a detailed estimate.

Yes, we provide full-service masonry work. For new projects like patios, walkways, or retaining walls, we handle the design, material selection, and construction from the ground up. For existing masonry, we specialize in repair and restoration. This includes repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged stones or pavers, and addressing cracks or leaning in retaining walls. We also offer sealing services for both new and old masonry to protect against moisture and freeze-thaw cycles, which is particularly important for durability in New Jersey.
