In the four-season country around Hewitt, roofs face a little of everything the year throws at them. Winter ice and snow give way to summer thunderstorms in Hewitt, so roofs rarely get a break to recover. With most Hewitt homes built around 1968, a typical roof in town is roughly 58 years old — prime territory for granule loss, leaks, and full replacement. Over the past 11 years, Passaic County has recorded 6 hail events (up to 1.0-inch stones) and 39 damaging-wind events — exactly the kind of weather that shortens a roof's life and drives sudden repair and replacement calls.
In Hewitt, local roofers most often handle metal roofing, roof replacement, and asphalt shingle roofing — but the pro we connect you with can take on any roofing job your home needs.

Many Hewitt homes were built around 1968, so roofs here are commonly 58+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
With 39 damaging-wind events recorded across Passaic County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near Hewitt.
Passaic County has logged 6 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 Hewitt drives rain under shingles and flashing and corrodes metal roof components faster than inland conditions.
| Season | What it means for your roof |
|---|---|
| Spring | Peak hail and severe-storm season — inspect after every major storm and document damage for insurance. |
| 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. |
