When water starts showing up on your ceiling or you notice shingles in the yard after a storm, the roof is telling you something needs attention. Westgate Roofing provides diagnostic inspections that identify the source of leaks, missing shingles, or structural damage before the problem spreads into your attic or walls. Many homeowners in Middletown call after noticing discoloration or dripping, but the actual issue often started weeks or months earlier.

The inspection process includes walking the roof, checking flashing around chimneys and vents, and looking for soft spots in the decking that indicate trapped moisture. Once the assessment is complete, you receive an honest recommendation for either a targeted repair or full replacement, depending on the age and condition of the system. Materials used in both cases are selected to handle the seasonal temperature swings and storm exposure common to central New Jersey.

How repairs are prioritized and completed

Repair work in Middletown often involves replacing a section of damaged shingles, resealing flashing that has lifted or cracked, or addressing ventilation issues that cause premature wear. Emergency repair options are available when the damage is urgent and cannot wait for normal scheduling. The crew brings the necessary tools and materials to complete the work in one trip whenever possible.

After the repair is finished, the affected area should match the surrounding roof in appearance and function. You will not see gaps, exposed nails, or mismatched shingle lines. If the damage is too widespread or the roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, replacement becomes the more reliable option to avoid repeated repairs over the next few years.

Replacement involves removing the old system, inspecting and repairing the decking, and installing a new roof with updated flashing and ventilation. The process takes longer than a repair but solves underlying issues that patching cannot address. Both services are performed by licensed and insured crews who follow manufacturer guidelines and local building codes.

Questions that come up during inspections

Homeowners often ask whether a repair will hold, how long a replacement will take, and what happens if more damage is found once the work begins. These answers reflect what actually happens during the service.

How do you find the source of a leak?
Westgate Roofing inspects the roof surface, flashing, and penetrations, then traces the water path back to the entry point. Leaks do not always show up directly below the damaged area, so the inspection includes checking the attic and decking.
When does a repair make sense versus replacement?
If the roof is under fifteen years old and the damage is localized, repair is usually the right choice. If multiple areas are failing or the shingles are brittle and curling, replacement prevents ongoing issues.
What if you find hidden damage during the repair?
You receive a call and a written explanation of the additional work needed before any extra cost is added. The crew does not proceed without your approval.
Can you match the existing shingles?
Westgate Roofing matches shingle color and style as closely as possible, though exact matches depend on product availability and the age of your roof. The goal is a repair that blends with the rest of the surface.
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
Emergency repairs are prioritized based on severity and crew availability. Westgate Roofing serves homeowners in Middletown and surrounding areas with fast, dependable service when urgent issues arise.
