With 93 damaging-wind events recorded across Union County, lifted, creased, and torn-off shingles are among the most common roofing calls near New Providence.
Many New Providence homes were built around 1963, so roofs here are commonly 63+ years old — near or past the 20–30 year lifespan of asphalt shingles, when curling, granule loss, and leaks set in.
Union County has logged 3 hail events in the last 11 years, some with stones up to 1.25 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 New Providence drives rain under shingles and flashing and corrodes metal roof components faster than inland conditions.
Union 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 |
|---|---|
| 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. |
