Storm Damage Roof Repair in West Englewood, Teaneck: what actually fails
West Englewood's tall roofs catch the wind on their gables and ridges first. Lifted ridge caps, creased shingles high on steep planes and flashing pulled at the gambrel's break are what gets checked, from staging and harnesses rather than guessed at from below. On the larger custom houses, a limb across one wing is assessed separately from wind damage to the rest.
A section of Teaneck, not the City of Englewood, developed from 1917, with its shopping strip, known locally as the Plaza, at West Englewood Avenue and Queen Anne Road.
- Staging needed on the steep lower slopes
- Flat sections under steep runoff
- The gambrel's break between its two slopes
- Valleys between Tudor cross gables

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and photographs of the stain and the roof from the ground before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture.
- Stay off the roof, and off the ladderEspecially on a steep Tudor or gambrel slope, and especially when it is wet. Nothing you can see from up there is worth the fall; photographs from the ground and binoculars do the job.

Call (201) 441-1542Note 01How much does it cost to fix storm damage on a roof?
National figures put storm-damaged roofing at $9.20 to $11.62 per square foot of damaged area, so 100 square feet is roughly $920 to $1,160 before access and decking. A few shingles fall inside the $300 to $3,000 band for repairs; a limb through the boards costs more, and so does damage high on a steep slope.
Note 02What does wind damage on shingles look like?
Missing shingles are obvious. Less obvious are shingles that lifted, creased across the top and lay back down, broken seal strips, and loose ridge caps. Creased shingles have lost their grip and are replaced, which is why every slope is read, the steep ones from brackets.
Note 03Should storm-damaged shingles be patched or replaced?
Replaced, shingle by shingle, where they are creased, cracked or missing. Gluing a creased shingle back down does not restore its grip. When damage is spread across most of a slope, the honest conversation is whether that slope is worth re-roofing instead.
