Residential Roofing in New Jersey
Everything a New Jersey home needs from its roof, from one crew: repairs, full replacement, slate and tile, flat sections and attic ventilation, each with a fixed written price before we start.
Residential roofing in NJ, from one crew
Residential roofing in New Jersey is more than a layer of shingles. A home roof is a system: the deck, the underlayment and leak barriers, the flashing at every wall and chimney, the attic ventilation underneath and the gutters at the edge. When one part fails the rest ages faster, so we look at the whole roof before we price any part of it.
Most calls start with a problem: a leak, shingles in the yard after a storm, or a roof that is simply old. Sometimes the honest answer is a targeted house roof repair, and our roof repair page covers what that involves. When the roof is finished, a full roof replacement is the better use of the money. Older homes may carry slate or clay tile worth restoring, and plenty of houses have a low-slope porch, dormer or addition that needs a flat roof system rather than shingles.
Most New Jersey houses have shingle roofing: architectural asphalt shingles over synthetic underlayment, with a self-adhering leak barrier at the eaves and in the valleys. It is the best value for the money on a typical colonial, cape or split-level. Slate and tile last far longer but cost several times as much, and they belong on homes built to carry them. Chimneys, skylights and the flashing around them are part of the same job, so they are handled by the same crew.
We have roofed everything from 1920s colonials to new construction across Bergen, Essex, Morris and the surrounding counties. As a residential roofer in NJ we give every job the same fixed written price, the same daily clean-up and the same 10-year workmanship guarantee.
