Union's houses are mostly mid-century single-family homes with pitched shingle roofs, so the shingle courses, the flashing and the gutters are the first checks.
Union is a township south-west of Newark. Morris Avenue and Route 22 are its main roads, and Kean University lies partly within the township.
Predominantly single-family houses from the mid-20th century make up the housing, with pitched shingle roofs. No roofing detail was sourced beyond that, so this page describes the roof checks that suit that house type.
Tropical-remnant rain and wind in late summer, nor'easters, and freeze-thaw at the eaves in winter decide which roof problems come up in Newark from week to week.
Mid-century single-family houses usually have a simple pitched roof with a few valleys and a chimney. After several decades the shingles can lift or curl along the lower courses, and that is often what lets water under the covering.
Ask the crew to check the lower courses and the nail lines first, then the flashing at the chimney. A roof that looks uniform from the street can have failed nailing in one section.
On a simple roof the flashing at the chimney and the valleys carries most of the water, and a gap there can leak even when the field is sound. The gutters carry the rest, and a clogged run can push water behind the fascia.
Photograph the flashing and the gutters after a rain. Those pictures help the roofer decide whether the job is a repair or a larger covering change.
Houses along Morris Avenue and Route 22 can be closer to traffic and to a busy street where a crew needs to park and unload. Mention the access and the parking when you call.
If the house is near the university, the crew may need to plan around the traffic on the approach. Ask about the start time and the expected length of the first visit.
Write the date of the first stain, which room it is in and whether it followed heavy rain or wind. Those notes separate a shingle leak from a gutter overflow.
Ask the Union construction office about any permit before work begins. No Union permit rule was sourced for this page.
