The questions we get most.
Timelines, insurance, repair versus replacement, cost and the guarantee. If you read one section, read this one.
Most asphalt-shingle replacements on a typical NJ home take 1–2 days. Slate or tile, or larger homes with complex roof lines, can run 3–5 days. We confirm a firm schedule before the start date and stage materials the day before.
Yes. For storm damage, we meet your adjuster on site, document damage, and provide line-item estimates that match insurance carriers' formats (Xactimate). We've worked directly with every major carrier in NJ.
If your roof is under ~15 years old and the damage is localized, a repair is usually the right call. If shingles are curling, granules are filling your gutters, or you've had repeated leaks in different spots, it's time to talk replacement.
A typical NJ asphalt replacement runs $9,500–$22,000 depending on size, pitch, layers to tear off, and material grade. We give a fixed, written price with our estimate, no surprises.
Yes. Fully licensed in New Jersey, with $2M general liability and full workers' comp. We hand you copies of both before work begins. Always verify any roofer's NJ HIC registration before signing.
Five-year workmanship guarantee on every project, on top of the manufacturer's material warranty (which runs 30–50 years depending on the shingle line). If something we installed leaks, we come back and fix it.
Money and paperwork
What it costs, and what the price covers.
The questions behind the price: what a fixed written price covers, what can still change once the old roof comes off, who pulls the permit, and how far to trust an instant online number.
It means the number on your estimate is the number you pay. The estimate is written and itemized, so you can see what you are buying instead of one lump sum. What cannot be priced from the ground is anything hidden under the old roof, and rotted decking is the usual one, because it is not visible until tear-off. The rate for replacing it goes into the contract before work starts, so if we find any, you already know what it costs and you decide what happens next. See what NJ homeowners actually pay.
Yes for a full tear-off or replacement, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Small repairs usually do not need one. We pull the permit with your town, handle the paperwork and schedule the inspection, and the fee is already inside the price you were quoted. Full detail in our guide to roof permits in New Jersey.
No, and we would rather say so plainly. The roof cost calculator measures your roof from satellite imagery and returns a directional range, which is genuinely useful for working out whether you are looking at a $12,000 project or a $30,000 one. What it cannot see is decking rot, failed flashing or code upgrades. Your written estimate is the only number that counts.
By material: 3-tab asphalt 15–20 years, architectural asphalt 25–30, slate and clay tile 75–100, and a flat membrane 15–25. New Jersey roofs often fall short of the rated number, and poor attic ventilation cooking the shingles from below is one of several reasons. Our guide covers the rest: how long a roof lasts in NJ.
Before you sign
Who turns up, and what to check first.
Crew, coverage, insurance claims, and the documents worth demanding from any roofer, including us.
Our own crew. No call centers and no subcontractor roulette: the people who quote your roof are the people who build it, and the owner still climbs ladders. More about who we are.
Probably. We work across Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Union and the surrounding counties, and most of the towns in between, whether or not they have a page here. Check the service areas, or just call and ask. Worst case we tell you honestly that you are outside our range and point you to someone closer.
No, and you should walk away from any roofer who offers to. Waiving or absorbing a deductible on an insurance job is fraud in New Jersey, and the homeowner can be left on the hook for it even when the contractor was the one who suggested it. Be just as careful with an "assignment of benefits" contract that signs your claim over to the roofer. What we do instead is document the damage properly and meet your adjuster on site. See our insurance claim playbook.
Verify their New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration, ask for the general liability certificate and the workers' compensation certificate, and get the scope in writing and itemized before you pay anything. Never sign a contract handed to you in the driveway after a storm, and never pay for a whole roof up front. We put our insurance documents on your table before work begins without being asked.
Service questions
Answers for the specific job.
Every service we offer, with the questions homeowners ask about that work. Each block links through to the full service page.
Roof Repair
Roof Repair in New JerseyMost minor repairs in New Jersey run between $350 and $1,200 depending on access, height and what is causing the leak. We give you a fixed written price after the inspection, so you will never get a surprise bill.
For non-emergency repairs we are usually on site within a few business days. Active leaks during a storm are treated as emergencies and prioritized.
Active leaks are our priority. We can usually get out within a day or two, and same day during a storm. We stop the water first, then trace the leak to its true source and give you a fixed written price to fix the roof for good, not just patch where it shows up inside.
If your roof is under about 15 years old and the damage is localized, a repair is almost always the right call. We give an honest assessment with photos rather than pushing a replacement.
Yes. Every repair carries our five-year workmanship guarantee on top of any remaining manufacturer coverage.
Residential Roofing
Residential Roofing in New JerseyMost asphalt-shingle replacements on a typical NJ home take one to two days. Larger homes or complex roof lines can run three to five days. We confirm the schedule before we start.
We always recommend a full tear-off. It lets us inspect the decking, install proper leak barriers and gives you the longest-lasting result with full warranty coverage.
You get our five-year workmanship guarantee plus the manufacturer material warranty, which runs 30–50 years depending on the shingle line.
Commercial Roofing
Commercial Roofing in New JerseyRetail, office, warehouse, light-industrial and multi-family buildings across northern NJ. We handle small to mid-size commercial flat-roof work directly; for very large big-box or high-rise projects we will tell you honestly if a commercial-only specialist is the better fit.
It depends on the building. TPO and PVC are reflective and energy-efficient, EPDM is durable and economical, and modified bitumen is tough and walkable. We recommend based on your roof, your budget and how the roof gets used.
Yes. We schedule commercial work to keep you operating: phased sections, off-hours access where needed, and the building kept watertight and accessible throughout. One point of contact coordinates with you or your property manager.
Yes. Scheduled inspections and minor repairs are the cheapest way to get full life out of a commercial roof. We catch seam, flashing and drain issues before they turn into interior damage and downtime.
Slate & Tile Roofing
Slate & Tile Roofing in New JerseyAlmost always. Quality slate can last 75–150 years, far longer than the flashing and fasteners around it. Often the slate is fine and only the metalwork needs attention.
Yes. We source new color-matched and reclaimed slate and tile so repairs blend into the original roof rather than leaving an obvious patch.
Slate and tile are premium materials and cost more than asphalt, but they last several times as long. We give a detailed fixed quote after assessing your specific roof.
Not usually. If the slate itself is sound, restoring it preserves both the value and the character of your home for far longer than an asphalt replacement would.
Skylight Replacement
Skylight Replacement in New JerseyWe focus on replacement and new installation. Once a skylight is fogging or leaking, the seals and flashing are usually past a dependable repair, so replacing the unit is the lasting fix rather than a temporary patch.
Yes. We cut in and frame new skylights, then flash them into the existing roof so they are watertight from day one.
We remove the old unit, make the opening and surrounding decking sound, set the new skylight and step-flash it into the shingle courses, then leak-test the finished install. Most replacements are a one-day job.
Yes. Every skylight replacement and new install carries our five-year workmanship guarantee.
Storm Damage
Storm Damage in New JerseyEmergency storm calls are prioritized. In most cases we can get a protective tarp up the same day to stop water entering your home.
Never sign anything handed to you in the driveway by a storm-chaser. Get a written estimate from an established local roofer first, and check their NJ HIC registration.
We provide thorough documentation that supports a fair claim, and we can re-inspect with your adjuster if the initial estimate misses legitimate storm damage.
Chimney Repair
Chimney Repair in New JerseyChimneys interrupt the roof slope, so water must be diverted around them by flashing. Most chimney leaks are failed flashing or a cracked crown, both repairable.
Both. We repair the flashing where the chimney meets the roof and address crown and brick-and-mortar issues that let water into the masonry.
No. Caulk is a short-term patch. Proper flashing is cut into the mortar joints and woven into the shingles so the repair lasts for years, not months.
It depends on whether it is flashing, crown, masonry or all three. We give a fixed written price after inspecting the chimney, with no guesswork.
Gutter Repair
Gutter Repair in New JerseyAt least twice a year, spring and autumn, and more often if you have mature trees nearby. Clogged gutters are a leading cause of fascia rot and ice dams.
If the gutters are structurally sound and just leaking at the seams, repair and resealing is cost-effective. If they are rusted, bent or sagging badly, seamless replacement is the better value.
Gutters carry water off the roof edge. When they fail, water backs up under the shingles, rots the fascia and feeds ice dams, all of which damage the roof itself.
Yes. We can discuss guard options as part of a gutter project, sized to your roof and the tree cover around your home.
Flat Roof
Flat Roof in New JerseyEach has its place. EPDM is durable and economical, TPO is energy-efficient and reflective, and modified bitumen is tough and walkable. We recommend based on your roof and how you use it.
Flat roofs are built with a slight slope to drains. Ponding usually means the slope or drainage has failed, or the deck has sagged, both of which we can address.
Isolated seam and puncture leaks are often repairable. If the membrane is brittle, shrinking or widely failing, a new system is the more economical long-term choice.
A well-installed EPDM, TPO or modified bitumen roof typically lasts 15–25 years depending on the system, the install quality and drainage.
Ice Dam Removal
Ice Dam Removal in New JerseyIt is the only method we use. Chipping with tools and pouring on chemicals both damage shingles. Low-pressure steam melts the ice without harming the roof.
Ice dam leaks are treated as emergencies. We prioritize active winter leaks to get water out of your home as fast as possible.
The permanent fix is balanced attic ventilation plus proper insulation and air-sealing, keeping the roof deck cold so snow does not melt and refreeze. Heat cables only treat the symptom.
Yes, if left alone. Trapped meltwater backs up under the shingles and into the attic, soaking insulation and ceilings. Prompt removal limits the damage.
Attic Ventilation
Attic Ventilation in New JerseyA roof needs airflow to release heat and moisture. Poor ventilation bakes your shingles from below in summer and causes condensation, mold and ice dams in winter.
Balanced soffit-and-ridge ventilation: cool air entering low at the soffits and warm air leaving high at the ridge. The intake and exhaust must be matched to work.
It can. Most shingle manufacturers require adequate attic ventilation, and inadequate airflow that cooks the shingles can affect warranty coverage.
It helps. A cooler attic in summer reduces heat transfer into your living space and eases the load on your air conditioning.
