From a single repair to a full replacement, we match the right roofing system to your home!
A flat-roof home requires a different system than a steep-pitch house. We work with six different roofing systems, so the solution fits the building, not the other way around.
There's a reason most homes are equipped with asphalt shingles. Underlayment is applied beneath the roof deck to ensure it. The shingles are then laid over this with flashing around chimneys, valleys, and vents, and the ridge cap completes the top. When exposure is necessary, algae-resistant options will be used to keep the roof clean.
TPO works well on flat roofs and low-slope additions found on many New Jersey homes. The white membrane reflects heat rather than absorbing it, keeping the interior cooler in summer without adding extra load to the AC. TPO seams are heat-welded during installation, not glued together. If your home has a flat, garage, or low-pitched rear roof, TPO is worth considering.
EPDM is a durable, flexible rubber membrane used on flat roofs for a long time. It lasts well and resists cracking in cold weather. When water freezes and then thaws over and over again, it is really hard on the materials that roofs are made of. Some roofing systems are too rigid, they can crack with temperature changes, but EPDM handles freezing and thawing better than other systems.
Torch-down roofing is a modified bitumen system. A propane torch heats the membrane during installation and bonds it directly to the roof surface. The modified bitumen material moves with the building as temperatures change. It resists cracking under freeze-thaw stress better than older flat roofing materials, which means fewer repairs down the line.
Slate is not the cheapest roofing option. It is the longest-lasting, heavy and requires a reinforced roof structure. Repairs need to be done correctly, or they create new problems. One wrong repair on a slate roof can compromise the rows around it. We handle slate with precision and understand its specific installation and repair requirements.
Cedar shake cannot be found in any man-made material; it looks different. The thick split wood shingles add a natural texture and depth, giving a home more character. In wetter climates, moisture seeps into cracks and causes decay more quickly. When installing cedar shake roofs, we spray fireproofing and waterproofing on it.
Roof damage builds slowly, then shows up all at once. Here are the warning signs our inspectors look for most:
Staining near the roof-line means water has already worked its way through and is damaging what’s underneath.
A missing shingle leaves the underlayment exposed, with nothing left to stop wind and rain.
Curled or cracked shingles can no longer shed water the way they’re supposed to.
Granules collecting in the gutters mean the shingles are breaking down and losing their protective coating.
Damaged flashing is one of the most common places water gets into a house, and it needs attention right away.
Even when nothing looks wrong from the ground, a storm inspection catches small damage before it turns costly.
Most people don’t realize how much work a roof does for a home. It withstands heavy snow, driving rain, and the full summer sun, and it keeps enduring them until something finally breaks. When a leak is detected in the home, the damage is likely to have been occurring for months.
Each job is first conducted with a thorough examination of the roof deck, rather than the shingles on the roof itself. Your decking is checked for soft or rotted areas, weak areas around vents and chimneys, and areas where heat or moisture has been trapped in the attic.
It is only after an inspection that we are able to discuss what needs to be done: repair, partial replacement or complete tear-off, so you shall not be paying for any unnecessary work.
Asphalt shingles remain the most common choice for New Jersey homes thanks to their cost and durability. Homeowners looking for a longer lifespan often choose slate or metal, while flat and low-slope additions are better suited to TPO or EPDM.
Most residential roof replacements cost between $9,000 and $25,000, depending on material, roof size, and slope. A full inspection gives you an exact number based on your home’s actual condition.
Most residential roofs take 1 to 3 days to replace, depending on size and material. Slate and cedar shake installations typically take longer due to the precision the material requires.
Isolated issues like a few missing shingles or minor flashing damage usually just need a repair. Once damage spreads across multiple areas, or repairs keep piling up, replacement becomes the more practical option.
Most homes benefit from an inspection once a year, ideally in the spring after winter’s freeze-thaw cycles. An inspection after any major storm is also worth scheduling, even if no damage is visible from the ground.
