Secor Home and Hardware Co | Roofing Services in Newark, NY 14513

We recommend asphalt shingles with high wind and impact ratings, along with quality ice and water shield underlayment for vulnerable areas like eaves and valleys. For our Newark customers, we also suggest proper attic ventilation to reduce ice dam formation and sealants for flashing around chimneys and vents, which are common leak points after snowmelt.

For moss removal in Newark's humid environment, we offer zinc or copper strips to install near the roof peak, which inhibit growth over time, and gentle cleaning solutions like oxygen bleach that won't harm shingles. Avoid pressure washing, as it can damage granules. Our staff can show you soft-bristle brushes and safe application methods to clear moss without compromising your roof's integrity.

Yes, we stock emergency repair items like roofing cement, tarps, and peel-and-stick patches that can provide a temporary fix until permanent repairs are made. For Newark homeowners facing sudden leaks, especially after storms or snowmelt, we recommend keeping these on hand and can advise on proper application to minimize water damage to your home's interior.
