New Jersey roof installation
New roof installation, torn off and done to spec
Full tear-off, decking replaced where it is bad, new flashing at every penetration, and ventilation corrected so the roof lasts as long as the shingle rating says. Written scope before anything starts.

Price a new roof
Measurement, attic check, and a line-item estimate at no cost.
How the installation runs
The deck is the part nobody sees and the part that decides how the roof performs. Tear-off is when soft sheathing, failed valley metal, and missing ice-and-water shield actually get found.
- Stage 1
Measure and scope
Roof measured, pitch and layers verified, attic checked for ventilation and existing water damage. You get a line-item scope, not a single number.
- Stage 2
Tear-off and deck
Old layers stripped to the deck, property protected, every soft or delaminated sheet photographed and replaced at the quoted unit price.
- Stage 3
Dry-in and detail
Ice-and-water at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, new flashing at every wall, chimney, and penetration.
- Stage 4
Finish and close out
Field shingles, ridge vent, magnet sweep of the property, final photos, permit close-out, and the manufacturer plus workmanship warranty in writing.
Systems we install
Architectural asphalt shingles
The standard on pitched NJ homes. 30-plus year rated laminate shingles with matched starter, hip, and ridge so the warranty is not voided by mixed components.
TPO and modified bitumen
Low-slope rear additions, porch roofs, and commercial decks. Heat-welded or torch-applied seams, tapered insulation where water needs somewhere to go.
Metal and standing seam
Long runs, low maintenance, and the right answer over porches and additions where a shingle transition would keep failing.
Cedar and slate repair
Older NJ housing stock. We match existing material for repairs rather than pushing a full asphalt conversion when the roof does not need one.
Roof installation questions
- How long does a roof installation take?
- A standard 20-to-30 square asphalt roof is one to two days: tear-off and deck inspection in the morning of day one, dry-in the same day, shingles and detail work after. Cut-up roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or slate removal run longer and we say so before you sign.
- Do you tear off the old roof or go over it?
- We tear off. An overlay hides wet or delaminated decking, adds weight, voids most manufacturer warranties, and shortens the life of the new shingles. The only time we discuss an overlay is a single-layer roof in verified good condition where the owner has a specific reason.
- What happens if the decking underneath is rotten?
- It gets replaced. Bad sheathing is priced per sheet, the number is written into the estimate as a unit price before work starts, and you see photos of every sheet we pull. Nothing is added to the bill without you seeing what caused it.
- What is included besides shingles?
- Ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, new drip edge, new step and counter flashing at walls and chimneys, pipe boots, ridge vent, and intake ventilation corrected if the attic is starved. Reusing old flashing is where most cheap installs fail.
- What roof systems do you install?
- Architectural asphalt shingles for anything above a 3:12 pitch, TPO or modified bitumen on low-slope and flat sections, and standing seam or metal panel where the design calls for it. Below roughly 2:12 a shingle roof is not a legal or workable option.
- What does a new roof cost in New Jersey?
- It is priced per square after measurement, and the variables are pitch, layers to remove, decking condition, and system choice. The inspection and the written estimate are free, and roofing work carries the SG10ROOF code for 10% off.
