Asset Roofing & Chimney specializes in asphalt shingle and flat roofing. On the many Bernardsville homes roofed in asphalt we repair directly. On slate and cedar roofs we assess the problem and handle the flashing, chimney and gutter work that causes most of the leaks on those roofs, and we tell you plainly when the roofing material itself needs a specialist in that trade.
Repair or replace? What we tell Bernardsville homeowners
We trace leaks on a Bernardsville home from the inside where access exists and then inspect every flashing detail above the stain, because on a complex roof the entry point is often several feet from where the water appears. Repairs on asphalt roofs mean new step and counter-flashing, new valley metal where needed, and matching shingles; on slate and cedar we handle the flashing and reset what we disturb.
For ice dam leaks, the repair is only part of the fix. We install ice-and-water membrane under the new roofing along the affected eaves, and we tell you what we see in the attic about insulation and ventilation, because stopping the snow from melting from underneath is what ends the problem.
