What's Included

Every shingle roof installation job includes:

Architectural shingles: GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark Pro, 30-year and lifetime grades

Impact-resistant shingles: Class 4 IR-rated for hail and wind-driven debris

Ice-and-water shield: eaves, valleys, and around all penetrations per NJ re-roof code

Synthetic underlayment: fully replaces felt, longer UV exposure and tear resistance

How It Works

Four steps from on-site measurement through ridge-vent finish.

On-Site Measurement and Shingle Selection

A licensed roofer takes accurate dimensions, brings shingle samples on-site for color match against your siding and trim, and walks you through three grade tiers (architectural, impact-resistant Class 4, and lifetime) with the manufacturer warranty for each.

Written Scope and Permit

Itemized scope with tear-off square footage, underlayment spec, decking allowance, and Borough permit handling, all in writing before the material order. Range pricing shows you both ends so there are no surprises if decking exposure adds scope.

Tear-Off and Code-Spec Base

Tear off existing shingles down to the decking, replace any wet 1x6 board sheathing or rotted plywood, then install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys plus synthetic underlayment across the field. The result is a NJUCC-compliant base that outlasts the shingles.

Shingle Install and Ridge Vent

6-nail wind pattern rated for 130 mph Jersey Shore exposure. Ridge vent finishes the install with continuous attic ventilation. Magnetic nail sweep across the driveway, lawn, and gutters before the crew leaves, with photo close-out for your records and warranty registration.

Shingle Roof Installation Questions, Answered

What is the average cost to install a shingle roof?

Shingle roof installation in Monmouth County typically runs $8,500-$22,000 for a 2,000-square-foot home, depending on shingle grade, tear-off scope, and decking replacement. Architectural shingles run $5-$8 per square foot installed; impact-resistant Class 4 shingles add $1-$2 per square foot.

How much do roofers charge to install shingles?

Roofers charge $350-$700 per square (100 sq ft) installed for architectural shingles in New Jersey. Total project cost depends on roof complexity, tear-off square footage, and current-code requirements for ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment.

What is the 25% rule for roofing?

The 25% rule under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code triggers full code compliance when repairs exceed 25% of total roof area in 12 months. On older shingle roofs, this often makes full installation the better economic path than continued patching.

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

Late fall through early winter (October to December) is the cheapest time to install a shingle roof in NJ. Roofers compete for work before the deep freeze, and shingles seal properly above 40°F. Avoid peak storm season (August to September Nor'easter window) when emergency demand spikes pricing.
