With 174 damaging-wind events recorded across Somerset County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near Bernardsville.
Many Bernardsville homes were built around 1964, so roofs here are commonly 62+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
Somerset County has logged 13 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 1.0 inches. Hail bruises shingles, knocks loose the protective granules, and cracks aging shingles — damage that often doesn't leak right away but shortens roof life.
Coastal exposure near Bernardsville drives rain under shingles and flashing and corrodes metal roof components faster than inland conditions.
Somerset County has seen 1 tornado in the past 11 years. Severe storms can strip shingles, puncture decking, and cause leaks that need fast, professional repair.
| Season | What it means for your roof |

| Summer | Heat and storms continue; ideal for replacements between weather systems. |
| Fall | Catch-up season for repairs and gutter cleaning before winter rain and wind. |
| Winter | Milder window for inspections and repairs in much of the region; storm damage can still occur. |
