Step 1: Roof Inspection and Estimate
The process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your current roof. Our experienced team examines:
-
Shingles and flashing
-
Underlayment and decking
-
Attic ventilation
-
Leaks, mold, or structural damage
We’ll discuss material options (asphalt shingles, metal roofing, etc.) and provide a detailed written estimate outlining labor, materials, timeline, and warranties.
We also include photos of the damage—especially helpful for insurance claims.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Roofing Material
Every home is different, and so is every roof. We’ll help you choose the best material based on:
-
Your budget
-
Home style and curb appeal
-
Weather resistance needs (important for NJ’s coastal areas)
-
Expected lifespan and warranties
Popular options in New Jersey include:
-
Architectural asphalt shingles (affordable and durable)
-
Metal roofing (energy-efficient and long-lasting)
-
Synthetic slate (high-end appearance with less weight)
Step 3: Preparing for Installation Day
Before work begins, we’ll schedule a date that works for you and:
Secure all necessary permits (required in most NJ towns)
Notify you of any HOA or zoning guidelines
Plan for dumpster delivery and staging area for materials
We recommend you:
-
Move vehicles away from the driveway
-
Cover valuables in the attic
-
Remove outdoor furniture or fragile lawn décor
-
Keep pets and children indoors
Step 4: Roof Removal and Tear-Off
On installation day, our licensed crew arrives on time and begins by removing the old roofing system:
-
Tear off shingles, underlayment, and flashing
-
Dispose of debris in an on-site container
-
Inspect decking for water damage or rot
If wood sheathing is damaged, we’ll replace it to ensure a strong foundation for your new roof.
Step 5: Installing the New Roof
This is where your home transformation really begins. Depending on the material, weather, and roof size, installation usually takes 1 to 3 days.
Installation includes:
-
Ice and water shield along eaves and valleys
-
Underlayment for waterproofing
-
Drip edge and flashing for proper runoff
-
New shingles or panels, securely fastened
-
Ridge vent or other ventilation system
We follow NJ state building codes and manufacturer-approved methods to ensure warranties remain valid.
Step 6: Cleanup and Final Inspection
Once the roof is complete, our crew does a full cleanup:
-
Remove debris and leftover materials
-
Use magnetic rollers to pick up nails
-
Clean gutters and walkways
-
Haul away dumpster and unused supplies
Then we conduct a final inspection to ensure your new roof meets our quality standards—and yours.
You’ll receive:
A completion certificate
Warranty paperwork
Maintenance tips to extend your roof’s lifespan
Step 7: Post-Installation Support

-
Manufacturer warranties (20–50+ years depending on material)
-
Workmanship warranties backed by our company
-
Responsive customer service if any issues arise
