Frequently asked questions
The flashing is rusting through years early. Is that a roof problem?
It is a salt problem. Spray off the ocean face eats flashings and fastener heads long before the covering itself fails, so water gets in at the details while the roof still looks sound. On the seaward side of town the fix is the metal, not the shingle, and it comes around again every few years.
August is the wettest month. Why talk about northeasters?
Because the rain total and the surf are different jobs. August fills crawlspaces. A northeaster takes the bluff. A house on the ocean face can stay dry through a wet August and still take the October storm through the seaward wall.
The house is west of Ocean Avenue. Is surf still the issue?
Usually not. West of the bluff the problem is the Shrewsbury tide and low streets. Spray is the ocean face. A wet crawl on the west side is a table the river holds up, not a wave.
