Brick is a large township located right on the water, where the Manasquan River and Metedeconk River meet the bay. It is the 13th largest municipality in New Jersey, having a population of 75,072 as of the 2010 U.S. Census.
Brick has the wonderful distinction of being one of the safest cities around. In fact, in 2006, the Morgan Quitno survey ranked it as “America’s Safest City,” out of 371 cities across the country. This is a major reason why so many people love to call it home.
In addition, the town has good public schools, easy access to the coastline and points north and south, and is also home to various shopping and other amenities.
FUN FACT: Portions of Brick are located on the Barnegat Peninsula, a narrow barrier island that separates the Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean.
A good portion of the township is located on or very close to the water. As such, the homes in these areas are designed to take advantage of all the views the water provides. More inland, homes are located in more traditional neighborhoods with tree-lined streets and downtown areas.
Brick homes come in all shapes and sizes, but the roofs of these homes are almost all made from asphalt shingles. This type of material is built to withstand the climate and natural forces of the area. What’s nice about asphalt shingles, though, is that it gives Brick homeowners the opportunity to customize the look of the roof because of the different designs and colors available. The three main choices of roof material and style are:
- Strip shingles (or three-tab shingles) that have a flat appearance
- Dimensional shingles (or architectural shingles) that give the roof a multi-dimensional appearance
- Luxury shingles that look like wood shake or slate
The roofs of Brick homes must be constructed to not only withstand the Central New Jersey region’s climate and frequent fluctuations in temperature, they also must be able to withstand the higher winds, sand and salt that come directly off the bay, even if they are located in the more inland parts of the town.
The roof is one of the most essential parts of your home. It keeps you and your family protected from the elements. Because of this, it’s important to regularly assess the quality and lifespan of your roof, and decide to replace it before it becomes too late.
Proven Contracting has been serving Brick and Central New Jersey since our founding five years ago. We are experienced in roof repairs and replacement, as well as siding and window replacement, and gutter-work.
Contact us today if:
- Your Brick home’s roof has missing or damaged shingles
- You see sand or other granule build-up in your gutters
- Your shingles are curling or peeling up
- Your roof is close to or has exceeded its 20-year lifespan
These are all signs that your roof needs some serious TLC, and may possibly even need to be replaced. Unfortunately, if you don’t address these issues, your roof – and your home – will be susceptible to water damage, which could lead to expensive repairs that extend well past your roof.
People often delay replacing their roof because it is inconvenient to get it replaced, or because they want to delay spending the money on the project. At Proven Contracting, though, we can typically complete your entire roof replacement in one day, and we pay extra attention to the cleanup so the process is quick and seamless.
Your new roof will protect your Brick home for years. A new roof can also give your home a fresh new look, allowing it to stand out from the crowd, giving your home a facelift and personalizing it to your liking.
At Proven Contracting, we take a consultative approach to every one of our jobs. We provide free roof estimates so we can assess the health and status of your roof before making recommendations. After we get an up-close look at the entire structure of your roof, we provide you with a hassle-free quote for your roof replacement or repairs.
