Lema Home Improvements: Local Roof Repair Serving Newark, NJ 07105

Yes, granule loss is a common sign of roof aging in our area due to sun exposure and weather. Those granules protect your shingles from UV rays. Significant loss can lead to faster deterioration and leaks. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage and discuss options, which could range from targeted repairs to a roof replacement if needed.

A leaky roof valley is a critical issue, as it's a primary water channel. Often, it can be repaired by resealing or replacing the valley flashing. However, if the surrounding shingles are also worn or damaged—common with granule loss—a section re-roof or full replacement might be more cost-effective for long-term protection. Our team will provide an honest assessment and recommend the best solution for your Newark home.

Good question! Proper siding installation and clean gutters are crucial for a water-tight home. Damaged or improperly installed siding can allow water to seep behind it and into your walls, sometimes mimicking a roof leak. Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and back up under your roof edges, leading to fascia rot and leaks in the soffit or roof deck. We address the entire exterior system to ensure water is properly channeled away from your home.
