What shapes roof work here

The 1991-2020 normals at the Wertsville station near Hillsborough show 23.9 inches of snow and 118 days a year at or below 32 F, which puts ice-dam risk at Moderate. Hail is the other seasonal factor: 94% of the hail reports within 25 km come between March and September, and July is the busiest month. The area also has fewer older roofs than Edison, where 57% of homes were built before 1980. Here the share is 34%, against 47% across Somerset County, so aging roofs are less common than in the surrounding area.

Questions

Roofing questions in Hillsborough

Is the roof age in Hillsborough different from Edison?

Yes. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 34% of local homes were built before 1980, against 57% in the Edison hub, and the median build year is 1985 here against 1974 there. Newer roofs still age under freeze and hail, so call for an inspection and a written estimate.

Why do roofs here leak?

Usually at the flashing. The nearest station records 51 inches of rain in a normal year. That much water finds the pipe boots, valleys and chimney seams first.
