Common Roofing Problems in Essex Homes

As a coastal community, Essex homes face specific challenges that can shorten the lifespan of your roofing system if not properly addressed. Here are the most common issues we see:

• Salt Air & Humidity: These elements can corrode metal flashing, gutters, and fasteners more quickly than inland properties.

• Strong Winds & Heavy Rain: Frequent Nor’easters and summer thunderstorms can loosen shingles, rip off siding, and overflow gutters.

• Poor Drainage: Older homes may have outdated gutter systems that cause water to pool near the foundation or leak into attics.

• Aging Roofing Materials: Many Essex homes still have 20–30 year-old shingles or improperly repaired roofing systems.

We evaluate every component — roofing, underlayment, ventilation, flashing, and drainage — to identify root issues and provide a lasting fix.
