Roof repair begins with an inspection and photos, followed by a written scope and price.
Roofers Hotline is a roofing company for roof repair in Edison and 116 towns across Middlesex, Union, Monmouth, Somerset and 7 more counties, on one phone number, (855) 512-1072. Someone answers at any hour, and the estimate is written down before any work begins.
Hail has been reported 59 times within 15 km of the city center since 2000, which puts this area in the high band for inspections.
Water often travels along rafters before it shows up on a ceiling, so the stain is rarely under the damage. With 57% of local homes built before 1980, older flashing and decking are common entry points. The visit traces the water back to where it gets in. Call to book that inspection.
Hail of one inch or larger was recorded 15 times in the county since 2015, and wind can lift shingles on top of that. Damaged shingles are replaced so the layer underneath is covered again. Call, and photograph any missing shingles from the ground first.
Flashing is where roofs on older homes tend to fail, because sealant dries out over the years. The metro's median home dates to 1974, so many seams have had decades of weather. Resealing closes the gaps where roof meets chimney, vent or wall. Call if you see stains near those spots.
Rubber pipe boots crack with sun and temperature swings, and the climate normals show about 110 freeze days a year here. A cracked collar lets rain run down the pipe into the attic. Replacing it is a small repair that stops a recurring leak. Call to have yours checked.
The job for roof repair runs from the first call to the scheduled work, step by step.
Edison's median home was built in 1974, and 57% of the homes here went up before 1980, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. Roofs on houses that age have had decades of sun, freeze and wind, so small leaks tend to start at flashing, vent collars and worn shingles. Roofers Hotline books roof repair here for exactly those problems, with a written estimate before any work starts. Call 24 hours a day, describe what you see on the ceiling or in the attic, and get the repair scheduled before the next rain makes it larger.
Edison sits in the High band for hail, with 59 hail reports within 15 km from 2000 to 2024, and the largest hail in the county record measured 1.75 inches. Hail that size bruises shingles and knocks off granules without leaving an obvious hole, so a roof can look fine from the street and still leak in the next storm. The visit covers the shingles, flashing and vents, and the written estimate lists what needs repair now and what can wait. Call to book the inspection.

After a hail or wind storm, two signs show up first: shingle granules collecting in your gutters, and shingles curling, cracking or missing. Granules in the gutter mean hail or age has worn the surface, and a missing shingle leaves the layer underneath open to rain. Look from the ground, photograph what you see, and stay off the roof. Water stains on a ceiling or daylight through the attic deck mean the leak is already inside, so call and describe them.

Why call
Hail season here runs March through September and peaks in July, so the weeks after a summer storm are the time to book a repair. Middlesex County logged 15 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, and FEMA lists 24 federal disaster declarations from 1965 to date, the latest for the Remnants of Hurricane Ida on September 5, 2021. After a storm like that, you get an inspection, a written estimate and then the repair work. Call to book before the next one.
Homeowners outside this metro center can open our coverage of Piscataway, about 1 miles out, for the same service and the same written estimate.

Questions
The median home here was built in 1974, and 57% of homes here were built before 1980, by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023. Roofs on homes that age are often on a second or third set of shingles, with flashing and vent collars that have worn. Call for roof repair and ask for a written estimate that covers those parts.
Hail season runs March through September, and July is the peak month, with 42 of the 128 hail reports within 25 km. If a July storm has passed over your street, look at your gutters and shingles from the ground, then call to book a roof inspection.
The visit starts by finding where water is getting in, not just where the stain shows. It then covers damaged or missing shingles, flashing at chimneys and vents, cracked pipe boots, and any decking softened by water. You get a written scope before work starts. Call to book the visit.
Yes. The 1991 to 2020 climate normals at the nearest NOAA station show about 110 days a year with a low at or below 32 F and 29 inches of snow, and ice-dam risk here is Moderate. Freeze and thaw can lift shingles and open flashing seams. Call if you see stains after a thaw.
