New Jersey's weather is tough on roofs. Harsh winters with snow and freezing temperatures can cause ice dams. These can lead to water seeping under shingles. Hot, humid summers can cause materials to expand and contract, leading to cracks. Roofing tar can be a useful material for sealing these small issues. It's a way to prevent minor problems from becoming major ones. We can assess your roof to see if tar is the right solution.
