Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in New Jersey take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the home, weather, and any structural repairs needed. We always confirm the timeline before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
How much does a new roof cost in NJ?
Pricing depends on square footage, pitch, material choice, and the condition of the existing decking. Most asphalt shingle replacements in our service area fall between $7,000 and $18,000. We always provide a free, itemized quote before any work begins.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes. After storms or unexpected damage, we document the damage, meet with your adjuster on-site, and provide all the paperwork you need for a smooth claim. We have helped dozens of NJ homeowners through the insurance process.
What warranty do you offer?
Every roof we install comes with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee plus the manufacturer warranty (typically 25–50 years on premium architectural shingles). If something goes wrong with our workmanship, we come back and fix it — no fine print.
Will you tear off my old roof or roof over it?
We strongly recommend a complete tear-off for any replacement. Layering shingles hides decking damage, voids most manufacturer warranties, and shortens the lifespan of the new roof. We will not cut corners on something that protects your entire home.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — we are fully licensed in New Jersey, carry general liability insurance, and workers compensation for our entire crew. We are happy to provide proof on request before any work begins.
