About Roofers in NJ

Roofers in NJ began as a small repair crew working the older housing stock in Chambersburg and the West Ward, where Victorian rowhomes and post-war twins sit under the same Delaware River weather. Most of those roofs don't fail from age. They fail at the flashing.

Weather drives material choices here. Summer thunderstorms push rain sideways into the eaves and valleys. Cold winters build ice dams at the same spot, and nor'easters drive wind under any edge that isn't fastened down.

• Steep-slope roofs get architectural shingle or three-tab shingle over synthetic underlayment, with ice-and-water shield protecting the eave, valley, and dormer.
• Flat porch and addition roofs get EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen membrane, heat-welded or self-adhered at the seams instead of nailed through the field.
• Metal and tile work uses standing-seam panel or corrugated panel on low slopes, and slate, clay tile, or wood shake where the rafters were sized for the weight.
• Trim and drainage means new drip edge, fascia, soffit, soffit vent, gutter, and downspout, so water leaves the roof instead of soaking the sheathing.
• Attic work adds ridge vent, insulation, and a vapor barrier that keeps warm air off the roof deck and slows ice dams before they start.
• Detailing covers step flashing, counter-flashing, chimney flashing, pipe boot, and skylight curbs, sealed with mastic, roof cement, and a paintable sealant.

Every roof estimate is line-item, so you see what a tear-off costs against a recover. A roof inspection comes first, since building code here cares about fastening patterns, and we haul the dumpster and clear the debris the same day.
