Lifted and creased tabs
Wind breaks the seal strip and lifts a course. Caught in a season it is a handful of shingles; left a winter it is a year of water running beneath them.
Roof Repair in Folsom, NJ
A sound covering with one bad detail is a repair, not a replacement. Saying so costs us a bigger job and buys a customer who calls back.

The short version
Most roofs that come off early did not need to. What decides it is the condition of the covering either side of the fault and whether there is anything sound to tie a repair into — not the age printed on the paperwork.
What is covered
What the job takes in
Flashing and valley metal
Where two planes meet, or a roof meets a wall or chimney, is where leaks actually begin. The metal fails long before the covering around it.
Pipe boots
The rubber collar perishes and splits at the neck. One of the commonest faults we find and among the quickest to put right.
Ridge after wind
Caps take the worst of an exposed run. Replacing a stretch is a short job that prevents a long one.
Worth knowing
When a repair is the wrong answer
When the covering has reached the end of its life across the whole roof, when an earlier layover leaves nothing sound to tie into, or when the boards beneath the fault have already softened. In each case you get the survey notes that led to the recommendation, so you can put them to somebody else.
