Why Elmer roofs fail
Elmer is one of the Salem County towns we work in weekly. The list starts with Elmer's own building stock, then the exposure common across South Jersey.
- Predominantly early to mid-20th-century residential properties utilize hip and gable roofs, commonly with asphalt shingles, needing routine maintenance.
- Most shingle leaks we trace here come back to a dried pipe boot or a nail that was driven high and left exposed.
- Sustained wind exposure on open farmland
- Agricultural metal roofing and pole barns
- Colonial brick chimney repointing and crown work
Roof types on Elmer houses
The parts of a re-roof that decide how long it lasts are the ones you cannot see afterwards: deck condition, valley detail, boot quality, and intake ventilation at the soffit.
Paperwork and staging for Elmer jobs

We look at the driveway, the setback, and the overhead lines before scheduling, because that determines whether material is boom-lifted or carried and where debris can land.

Storm Guard Roofing did an outstanding job on our roofing project. The crew was professional, efficient, and clearly experienced. They completed the work exactly as promised, and the quality of the installation was excellent. What really stood out was how clean they left the property—everything was spotless after the job was done. I highly recommend Storm Guard Roofing to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality roofing work.

Common questions from Elmer homeowners
- Do you cover all of Elmer?
- Yes — every Elmer address, ZIP 08318, plus the surrounding Salem County towns.
- What fails first on a Elmer roof?
- The second layer on an overlaid shingle roof telegraphs every ridge in the old one, and the high spots wear through first. That is why we inspect flashing, penetrations, and the attic side before quoting a Elmer roof.
- Do you handle emergency roof leaks in Elmer at night?
- Call (201) 403-0024 any hour. The first Elmer visit stops the water — tarp, temporary flashing, or a sealed penetration — and the full repair is quoted once the roof is dry.
- Who pulls the roofing permit in Elmer?
- Yes, and it has to be in hand before tear-off. Our office files it with Elmer and meets the inspector at completion.
Roofing questions from Elmer
- Do you do 24 hour emergency roof repair in Elmer?
- Yes. Emergency roof repair in Elmer runs 24 hours a day: leak stopped, tarp installed if the weather is still coming down, then a written scope for the permanent repair. Call and you speak to someone, not an answering service.
- What does gutter repair cost in Elmer, NJ?
- Sectional gutter repairs and resealing are priced per run and usually land in the low hundreds; full seamless gutter replacement on an average Elmer house is priced by linear foot after we measure. You get the number in writing before work starts.
- Are gutter guards worth it on Elmer houses?
- They help where mature street trees drop debris all fall, which covers most of Elmer. Micro-mesh guards over properly pitched seamless gutter is the combination that keeps working; cheap plastic screens clog and hide the problem.
- How do you stop ice dams in Elmer?
- Ice dams are a ventilation and insulation problem, not a gutter problem. We check attic intake and exhaust, insulation depth at the eave, and whether ice-and-water shield was ever installed at the first courses, then fix the cause instead of raking the roof every January.
- Asphalt shingles or a flat roof for my Elmer addition?
- Anything under about a 2:12 pitch needs a membrane, not shingles — that is most rear kitchen and porch additions in Elmer. Above that, architectural asphalt shingles are the standard choice. We will tell you which one your slope allows before quoting.
