Signs it’s time for a new roof
A good roof gives you warnings before it fails. If you see two or more of these, call us for a free inspection and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair will do.
-
Your roof is 20+ years oldMost asphalt roofs in New Jersey reach the end of their life somewhere around 20 to 25 years.
-
Curling, cracked or missing shinglesShingles that lift, crack or blow off after every storm stop protecting the deck underneath.
-
Granules in the guttersPiles of grit in the gutters or at the downspouts mean the shingles are wearing out.
-
Leaks in more than one spotOne leak is a repair. Stains on ceilings in several rooms usually point to a roof at its end.
-
Sagging or soft spotsA dip in the roof line or a spongy feel underfoot can mean the deck has rotted.
-
Ice dams every winterRepeated ice dams often come from poor ventilation and worn underlayment, both fixed with a new roof.

How much does a roof replacement cost in New Jersey?
Most of the full replacements we do land between $12,000 and $25,000. The price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers come off, how much wood needs replacing and the shingle you choose. You get an exact written price after a free inspection.
How long does it take?
Most homes are done in one to three days. Bigger or steeper roofs, or a lot of rotted wood, can take a little longer. We’ll give you the schedule up front.
Do I need to be home?
No. We just need access to the driveway for the dumpster and to an outdoor outlet. Many homeowners go to work and come back to a new roof.
Can you put new shingles over the old roof?
We recommend a full tear-off. It lets us find and fix rotted wood, put down proper ice & water shield and keep your manufacturer warranty clean.
Will my yard be a mess?
No. We tarp your plants and siding, use a dumpster for all debris and run a magnetic sweeper over the lawn and driveway for nails before we leave.
What warranty do I get?
Your shingles carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and as GAF and Owens Corning certified contractors we register it for you. Your written contract spells out exactly what is covered.
