When It's Time for a Full Roof Replacement
Most asphalt shingle roofs in New Jersey last 20-30 years. If yours is getting up there — or you're seeing widespread wear — patching is only buying time. A proper replacement resets the clock with modern materials designed for Northeast weather, better warranties, and often better energy performance.
We replace roofs every week across Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Hudson, and Morris counties. Here's how we know it's time:
- Roof is 20+ years old and showing wear across the whole surface
- Multiple leaks or leaks that keep coming back after repairs
- Widespread granule loss (bald shingles, granules in gutters)
- Curled, cracked, or missing shingles across multiple slopes
- Sagging decking or visible daylight in the attic
- Storm damage declared a total loss by your insurance adjuster
Our Roof Replacement Process
1. Free In-Home Estimate
We come to your home, get on the roof, inspect the attic, and measure carefully. You get a written, itemized estimate within 24 hours — with clear options, not a high-pressure sales pitch.
2. Material Selection
We'll walk you through shingle options from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. Architectural shingles, designer lines, metal, and flat-roof systems. You pick the look, warranty, and budget that fits.
3. Tear-Off & Deck Inspection
We strip the old roof down to the deck and inspect every board. Rotten or soft decking gets replaced before new material goes on — skipping this step is the #1 reason cheap roofs fail early.
4. Underlayment, Ice & Water Shield, Flashing
Synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield along eaves and valleys (code in NJ and critical in our climate), and new flashing around chimneys, vents, and walls. This is where a roof's longevity is actually built.
5. Shingle Installation
Our certified crews install to manufacturer spec — proper nailing patterns, starter strips, ridge venting, and ridge cap. These details matter for the warranty to hold.
6. Cleanup & Final Walkthrough
Daily cleanup during the job, magnetic sweep for nails at the end, and a final inspection with you. You get warranty documents and a single point of contact if anything ever needs attention.

How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in North NJ?
Most replacements in our area fall between $8,000 and $18,000. Pricing depends on:
- Roof size (measured in "squares" — 100 sq ft each)
- Number of stories and roof pitch (steeper = more labor)
- Material choice (architectural vs. designer vs. metal)
- Number of penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents)
- Deck repair needs (only known after tear-off)
- Tear-off layers (multiple layers = more disposal)
We itemize every estimate so you see exactly where your money goes. No vague lump sums.
Financing & Insurance Claims
We offer financing through vetted partners — many homeowners qualify for 0% intro options. If your replacement is storm-related, we work directly with your adjuster, document damage thoroughly, and most customers pay only their deductible.
