Why Edison's Split-Levels and Ranches Need Specialized Roofing
Mid-Century Split-Levels with Complex Geometry
Half of Edison's homes are single-family detached, most built between the 1950s and 1970s. The split-level and bi-level designs so common here have multiple roof planes, valleys, and transitions — making them more labor-intensive than simple ranch or colonial roofs. Every junction is a potential leak point.
24 Inches of Snow and Ice Dam Risk
Edison averages 24 inches of annual snowfall with full freeze-thaw cycling through winter. On split-level homes, the multiple roof planes and valleys create concentrated areas where ice dams form — forcing water under shingles and into your home. Proper ice barrier installation is critical.
$615K+ Home Values at Roof Lifecycle
With median home values exceeding $615,000 and homes selling at 103.9% of list price, Edison homeowners are protecting a serious investment. Most of this 1950s-1970s housing stock is reaching the 25-30 year roof lifecycle — making this the purest roof replacement market in New Jersey.

Edison Roof Replacement FAQ
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Edison?
Yes. Edison Township's Department of Planning and Engineering / Construction Code Official requires a permit for all re-roofing work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC). Applications are submitted through Edison Township. Global Roofing handles the entire permit process for you.
What's the best roofing material for homes in Edison?
For most Edison homes, CertainTeed architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds are the best combination of durability, aesthetics, and value — with a 50-year warranty. They perform well against Central New Jersey's 24 inches of annual snow and summer heat. For homeowners who want maximum lifespan, standing seam metal handles snow shedding and ice dam prevention better than any other material.
How do ice dams affect roofs in Edison?
Edison averages 24 inches of snow per year with frequent freeze-thaw cycles through winter. When heat escapes through poorly insulated attics, it melts snow on the roof — that water refreezes at the cold eave, forming an ice dam that forces water under shingles and into your home. Edison's split-level and bi-level homes are especially vulnerable because their complex roof geometries create more valleys and transitions where ice dams form. Our installations include ice and water shield extending 24 inches past the interior wall line per NJ UCC requirements.
Why are split-level roofs more complex to replace?
Split-level and bi-level homes — the most common styles in Edison — have multiple roof planes at different heights, connected by valleys, hips, and step transitions. Each of these junctions is a potential leak point that requires precise flashing and waterproofing. An average split-level may have 3-4 separate roof planes compared to a simple ranch's 2 planes, meaning more labor and more materials to ensure a watertight result.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in a single day. Our crew arrives in the morning, strips the old roof, installs the complete Integrity Roof System — including ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, starter shingles, architectural shingles, ventilation, and ridge caps — and completes cleanup before the end of the day.
What warranty does Global Roofing offer?
Every roof replacement comes with a transferable 50-year premium shingle warranty and a 25-year workmanship warranty, both backed by our GlobalCare program. This is one of the most comprehensive warranty packages available in the Edison market.
Do you offer financing for roof replacement in Edison?
Yes. We offer flexible financing including no payments for 12 months, low-interest programs, and monthly payments as low as $84/month. We also work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims — including Hurricane Ida and Sandy damage in Middlesex County (FEMA DR-4614-NJ and DR-4086-NJ).
