Roofing across Bergen County.
Lightning Construction is a veteran- and family-owned, GAF-certified contractor serving Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county — affluent NYC-area suburbs from the Hudson waterfront to Ridgewood and Alpine.
Across Bergen County's 70 municipalities there are about 369,613 housing units, and the median one was built in 1960. On average 73% of the housing in each town here predates 1980, which is the line either side of which a roof replacement stops being routine and starts involving decking and ventilation. The spread inside the county is wide: Bogota has a median build year of 1938 while Edgewater sits at 1992. Those are different houses with different roofs, and they do not price alike. Alpine carries the highest median home value in the county, at over $2 million.
What we build against here
The weather that damages roofs in Bergen County is undramatic and relentless: summer storms, then a winter of water freezing inside small defects and widening them. Underlayment, flashing and ventilation are what stop it, and all three are invisible once the job is finished.
