What's Included

Every roof replacement job includes:

Complete tear-off: remove all existing layers down to decking

Decking inspection and replacement: 1950s-70s 1x6 board sheathing upgraded to plywood or OSB where rot appears

Ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations: NJUCC requirement for cold-climate re-roofs

Drip edge, starter strip, synthetic underlayment, hip and ridge: complete code-spec system

How It Works

Four steps from material consultation through ridge-vent finish on a full re-roof.

Free Inspection and Consultation

A licensed NJ HIC roofer walks your existing roof, checks attic ventilation, and brings shingle and metal samples for hands-on comparison. You learn the trade-offs between architectural shingle, standing-seam metal, and synthetic slate before signing anything.

Written Scope and Permit

Itemized proposal with material selection, decking allowance, underlayment spec, and current-code upgrades. Oceanport Borough permit application typically issues in 5-10 business days. Range pricing shows the low end and the realistic exposure if hidden decking damage appears.

Tear-Off and Decking Replacement

Remove all existing layers down to the decking in 1 to 2 days with dumpster on the driveway and tarp protection on landscaping. Replace any wet 1x6 board sheathing or rotted plywood. Wet substrate gets photographed and shown to you before replacement scope is confirmed.

Underlayment, Shingles, and Ridge Vent

Ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys. Synthetic underlayment across the entire field. Drip edge, starter strip, then shingles or metal panels finished with a ridge vent. The sequence typically runs 2 to 3 days. Photo close-out shows every layer for warranty registration and any future claim.

Roof Replacement Questions, Answered

What is the average cost of a roof replacement in NJ?

Average roof replacement in New Jersey runs $8,500-$28,000 for a 2,000-square-foot single-family home. Asphalt architectural shingles land at the low-to-mid range; standing-seam metal and impact-resistant shingles reach the top end. Sandy-era homes often need decking upgrades that add $2-4 per square foot.

Is $25,000 a lot for a new roof?

$25,000 is mid-range for a 2,000-3,000 square foot architectural shingle replacement in New Jersey, especially when decking replacement, ice-and-water shield, and current-code upgrades are included. Metal roofs and impact-resistant shingles run higher; basic asphalt 3-tab runs lower.

What is the 25% rule for roofing?

The 25% rule under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code requires full code compliance when cumulative repairs exceed 25% of roof area in 12 months. Most homeowners hitting this threshold elect full replacement rather than continued patching above-threshold.

What is the cheapest time of year to get a new roof?

Late fall through early winter (October-December) is typically the cheapest window for roof replacement in NJ. Roofers compete for work before deep winter, shingles still seal properly in 40-60°F daytime temperatures, and the post-storm-season demand peak has passed.
