Roofing Questions New Jersey Homeowners Ask Most

One to three days of actual roofing on most houses. Steep, cut-up Victorians land at the longer end because staging and safety lines take real time on that pitch. We never open more deck than we can dry in the same day.

It gets replaced as we find it, photographed board by board, and billed against a decking allowance that is written into the contract before anyone climbs a ladder. That way it is not a surprise on the final invoice.

Yes, and we do. It goes through your township or borough construction office depending on where you live, and we schedule the work around inspection timing rather than handing you paperwork.

We almost never recommend it, and if the roof already has two layers it is a full tear-off by code rather than by choice. A layover hides the deck, which is the part that actually needs eyes on it.

Free, and it commits you to nothing. It is also itemized, so you can change material tier, decking allowance, flashing or venting before you sign.

No. We install both product lines but we are not currently enrolled in their contractor certification programs, and we will not claim a badge we have not earned. Ask us what that means for manufacturer warranty registration on your specific roof.

2-year on our workmanship, which is installation, plus the manufacturer's own material warranty of up to fifty years depending on the line. <a href="/about/warranty">The warranty page</a> explains the difference.

0% financing available, and a $500 senior & military discount. The itemized estimate also lets you adjust scope before committing.

We document the damage properly during inspection so a claim has what an adjuster needs. The claim itself is between you and your insurer, and we will not tell you a roof is storm damage when it is age.

Inspections book within days, and an active leak gets a fast response through <a href="/nj/emergency-roof-repair">emergency roof repair</a>. The phone is answered around the clock.

Yes. The inspection, the photos, and the written number cost nothing, and there is no obligation to hire us.

Almost always. The deck trail and the attic side give it away. Tear-off only happens when the damage underneath actually demands it, and you see photos before we do anything that drastic.

No. The entry point is still open; the weather just changed. A dried stain rewets on the next wind-driven rain, and the deck keeps rotting between appearances.

Cleaning, repair, and replacement, yes. Half of what gets called a roof leak around here actually starts with a gutter overflowing and throwing water behind the fascia.

Often yes. Tapered insulation during a re-cover sends the water toward the drains it should have been reaching all along.

No. A single weathered or storm-hit wall can be handled on its own, matched as close as the panel line allows.

Sometimes physically possible, almost never smart. It telegraphs every wave in the old wall and hides rot you will pay to find later. On these older homes we strip to the sheathing.

No, and pretending otherwise is a sales tactic. The failed units go first, the sound ones wait for a later phase, and an itemized estimate lets you draw that line yourself. More than half the time a house is in better shape than the homeowner feared, and you deserve to hear that rather than a package price.

It depends on area and access more than anything. You get a written estimate after a free look, never a guess off the sidewalk.

We are masonry and flashing, not sweeps. For creosote cleaning we point you to a sweep we trust and coordinate when a job needs both.
