Roofing in Aberdeen

Aberdeen is really two towns stitched together. Its northern edge, Cliffwood Beach, sits right on Raritan Bay, where the water opens wide toward Keyport Harbor and the wind comes in off the bay with nothing to slow it. The rest of the township, from Strathmore to Freneau and Oakshades, is inland and suburban, laid out after the war and built up around the Aberdeen-Matawan train station that carries commuters up the North Jersey Coast Line. A roof on a bay-facing block and a roof a couple of miles up the hill are dealing with different weather, and they wear out in different ways.

Cliffwood Beach began in the 1920s as a bay resort with a boardwalk, restaurants, and a saltwater pool, before a run of hurricanes wrecked the amusements and the seasonal cottages became year-round homes. What sits on those blocks now is a patchwork: original bungalows on small resort-era lots, postwar Capes and ranches a street or two back, and newer houses lifted onto raised foundations after Sandy tore through the beachfront. Salt air is hard on everything metal up here. Drip edge, valley metal, flashings, and nail heads corrode faster within sight of the bay than they do inland, so those are the details worth checking first, and corrosion-resistant fasteners along with thicker-gauge flashing metal are what hold up on a Cliffwood Beach roof.

Strathmore, the inland half, wears out for its own reasons. Levitt & Sons started building it in 1961, the same firm behind Levittown, and dropped roughly two thousand houses across town over the next few years, more than doubling the population and giving whole neighborhoods the same handful of models: ranches, two-story colonials, and split-levels. Few of those roofs are still wearing their first covering. It is the split-levels that need the closest look: where the lower roof slope dies into the taller wall above it, the step and counter flashing tucked against that cheek wall is usually where an old leak started, and it is the detail a rushed reroof tends to skip.

The bayfront and the Strathmore blocks need different things

On the Cliffwood Beach side, wind is the first problem and salt is the second. Open water gives gusts a long, unobstructed run at the roof, and the uplift goes after the edges — the eaves, the rakes, the ridge line, wherever the wind can get a grip. That is why self-adhered underlayment along the perimeter, wind-rated shingles, and a tighter nailing pattern carry more weight here than they would a few towns inland. On the elevated post-Sandy rebuilds, a house lifted on pilings or block sits higher and more exposed, so the wind reaches the eaves and rakes sooner and there is that much more edge to keep sealed. The old bungalows bring their own quirks: shallow-pitch porch roofs, stubby overhangs, and little dormers whose sidewall flashing has usually been painted over more than once.

Up in Strathmore, the enemy is mostly age and repetition. When two thousand houses go up on a few plans in the same few years, they tend to need the same work around the same time: original three-tab roofs long gone, chimney flashing on the ranches gone brittle, and low-slope garage or breezeway additions that were never quite right. On the split-levels, watch the spot where the upper roof runs into the wall, and the valley where the two rooflines come together; on the ranches, the long low slope sheds fine but leaves little room for error where a pipe boot has worn or a shingle has lifted before water finds the deck. None of this is unusual. It is simply the particular list a Levitt-built town this age tends to hand you, and it is worth fixing the flashing right rather than burying it under another layer.
