Asphalt shingles cover most pitched roofs in Bergen County, and they take a beating: nor'easter wind in March, humid heat that softens the asphalt in July, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack brittle tabs in January. The good news is that a shingle roof is modular. A damaged section can be lifted, the nails pulled, and new shingles woven into the surrounding courses without disturbing the rest of the roof.

Asset Roofing & Chimney specializes in asphalt shingle roofing for residential and commercial properties across North New Jersey. Our repairs range from a handful of wind-blown shingles to rebuilding a valley or re-flashing a chimney. We pay attention to the details that make a repair last: proper nailing patterns, sealed nail heads, and matching the exposure and offset of your existing shingles so the repair sheds water the way the roof was designed to.

Shingle matching is the question we hear most. Architectural shingles from a current product line can usually be matched closely. Older three-tab shingles and discontinued colors are harder, and we will show you the nearest options so you can decide what you are comfortable with. Call (201) 727-3113 or request a free estimate and we will take a look.

Common Problems

Signs you may need shingle roof repair

Wind-Lifted Tabs With Broken Seals

Each shingle has an adhesive strip that bonds it to the one below. Once wind breaks that bond, the tab flaps in every storm and eventually tears. Lifted tabs can sometimes be resealed; torn or creased ones need replacing.

Cracked and Brittle Shingles

As asphalt ages it loses its oils and becomes stiff. Cold snaps then crack it, often in straight lines across the tab. A few cracked shingles on an otherwise sound roof are a repair; cracking across a whole slope is a different conversation.

Granule Loss and Bald Spots

Granules protect the asphalt from sunlight. Bare patches from hail, foot traffic, or age let UV break the mat down quickly. Isolated bald spots can be addressed by replacing the affected shingles before the mat fails.

Exposed Nails and Nail Pops

Nails that were driven too high, driven crooked, or backed out over time push shingles up and leave a hole for water. The fix is pulling the nail, re-fastening properly, and sealing or replacing the shingle above it.

Damaged Ridge Caps and Hip Shingles

Ridge and hip caps take the most wind and the most sun. They crack and blow off before field shingles do. Replacing caps is a common, contained repair that also protects the ridge vent beneath them.

Moss, Algae, and Trapped Debris

Shaded north slopes and roofs under trees in older North Jersey neighborhoods grow moss that lifts shingle edges and holds water. Debris packed in valleys does the same. Clearing it and replacing damaged shingles stops the slow deterioration.

Our Process

How shingle roof repair works with Asset

  1. 01

    Count and Map the Damage

    We walk every slope, not just the one you can see from the yard, and mark each damaged shingle, exposed nail, and flashing issue so the estimate covers the whole roof.

  2. 02

    Match the Materials

    We identify your shingle type and bring the closest available match. You see the sample against your roof before we proceed.

  3. 03

    Weave In the Repair

    Damaged shingles are lifted and removed, new ones are slid into place with correct nailing and offset, and seals are set. Flashing and boots are replaced as needed.

Honest Guidance

Repair or Replace?

Repair the shingles when

  • Fewer than a few dozen shingles are affected, concentrated in one or two areas
  • The surrounding shingles are still flexible and sealed
  • A reasonable color match is available
  • The problem is caps, boots, or flashing rather than the field shingles
About our repair service

Consider a new shingle roof when

  • Shingles are cracking or curling on most slopes, not just where the damage is
  • The roof already has a second layer
  • Granule loss is widespread and the mat is showing
  • You would be repairing the same roof for the third or fourth year in a row
About our replacement service

We will give you an honest read either way. Repairing a roof that is at the end of its life wastes your money, and so does replacing one that has years left.

FAQ

Shingle Roof Repair questions, answered

Can you match my shingle color exactly?

Close is realistic; exact rarely is. Even the same product in the same color weathers over time, so a new shingle looks slightly different beside a ten-year-old one for a season or two. Current architectural lines can be matched well. Discontinued colors and older three-tab products are harder. We show you samples on the roof before you commit.

How many shingles can be replaced before replacement makes more sense?

There is no fixed number. What matters more is the condition of the shingles around the damage. Replacing thirty shingles on a flexible, well-sealed roof is a sound repair. Replacing ten on a brittle roof where every neighboring shingle cracks when lifted is throwing money at a roof that needs replacing. We tell you what we find when we lift the first one.

Is repairing three-tab shingles different from architectural?

Somewhat. Three-tab shingles are thinner and older roofs with them are often brittle, which makes lifting them without cracking the neighbors harder. Architectural shingles are thicker, more forgiving, and easier to match because they are what most roofs use today. The repair technique is similar; the risk of collateral cracking is higher on aged three-tab.

How much does shingle roof repair cost?

Cost depends on how many shingles are involved, how spread out they are, the roof pitch and height, whether flashing or decking also needs work, and how hard your shingle is to match. A ridge cap repair on a one-story ranch is a small job; a valley rebuild on a steep three-story colonial is not. Estimates are free and itemized.

Do you repair shingle roofs in winter?

Yes, with care. Cold shingles are brittle and seal strips do not bond until temperatures rise, so winter repairs are hand-sealed and handled gently. If a repair genuinely should wait for warmer weather we will say so and discuss how to protect the area in the meantime. A leak, though, should not wait for spring.

Is it okay to just seal lifted shingles instead of replacing them?

If the shingle is intact and simply lost its seal, resealing it with roofing cement under the tab is a legitimate fix. If it is creased, cracked, or torn, sealing hides the problem for a season and then it leaks again. We lift each one and decide based on its condition, not on what is quickest.
