New architectural shingle roof installation on a South Brunswick home with fresh drip edge and ridge vent

A new roof installation is a tear-off down to the sheathing, never a second layer laid over the old one. We strip the shingles, check the roof deck for rot and soft spots, and replace any plywood or OSB that soaked through.

Then we set ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, drip edge at the rake and eave, and new flashing at every penetration. Asphalt shingles go down in staggered courses with ring-shank nails.

Hot humid summers with frequent thunderstorms push water sideways under lifted shingles. Nor'easters bring heavy rain and high winds that test every fastener, and snow and ice accumulation in winter months backs up behind clogged gutters to form ice dams.

Cost depends on square footage, pitch, layers to remove, decking condition, and material choice. A mid-century ranch from the 1950s-1970s with a low-slope section prices differently than a newer colonial from the 1990s-2020s.

Older farmhouses from the 18th-19th centuries often need custom chimney flashing and a wood shake or slate match. Everything we install meets New Jersey building code, and we pull the permit before the dumpster lands in your driveway.

What's Included

  • Full tear-off of existing shingles, roofing felt, and any tar paper down to the substrate, with dumpster and debris haul-away included.
  • A roof deck inspection board by board, replacing rotted sheathing and sistering any weak truss, rafter, or joist before we cover it.
  • Ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, plus synthetic underlayment across the field as a second line of waterproofing.
  • New drip edge on every eave and rake, new step flashing and counter-flashing at sidewalls, and fresh pipe boots over the plumbing vents.
  • Ridge vent and soffit vent work so the attic fan and insulation can do their job instead of trapping condensation.
  • Your choice of architectural shingle, three-tab, standing-seam panel, or a TPO membrane for low-slope sections.
  • A written line-item estimate, permit filing that satisfies local building code, and magnet sweeps for nails in the grass.
  • Gutter and downspout re-securing, plus a final roof inspection before we hand your yard back.

Our New Roof Installation Process

What a New Roof Installation Includes, Step by Step

  • Step 1: We inspect from the ground first, then go up on the rooftop with a ladder and safety harness to check the ridge, valleys, and every flashing detail.
  • Step 2: We measure roofing squares, note the pitch, and check the attic for moisture, mold, and insulation gaps.
  • Step 3: Your written estimate lists materials and labor line by line, so you can see where the money goes.
  • Step 4: We file the permit so the work meets building code, drop the dumpster, and tarp the shrubs.
  • Step 5: Tear-off runs with roofing shovels and pry bars, stripping shingle, felt, and tar paper down to the substrate.
  • Step 6: Rotted sheathing gets cut out and replaced with new plywood or OSB, and any soft fascia or soffit gets refit at the same time.
  • Step 7: Ice-and-water shield goes at the eaves and valleys, then synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and new flashing at the chimney, skylight, and pipe boot.
  • Step 8: Shingles go up in staggered courses with a nail gun and air compressor, then ridge cap along the ridge and hip, followed by two magnet sweeps for nails.

Signs You Need New Roof Installation

Signs Your South Brunswick Roof Is Past Repair

  • Granule loss in the gutter trays, which leaves bare asphalt showing on the field course and signals end-of-life wear.
  • Shingles that curl or buckle after a thunderstorm, usually where fasteners were overdriven into soft decking.
  • Dark stains or a sag along the roofline, which tells you the sheathing underneath has started to rot.
  • Leaks that seep through the ceiling days after heavy rain, tracking along a rafter before they drip.
  • Ice dams at the eave every February, which means the insulation and ventilation are fighting each other.
  • A springy or spongy feel underfoot on the rooftop, the classic sign of decay in the roof deck.
  • Daylight visible through the attic boards around a chimney flashing, skylight, or dormer.
  • A repair estimate that keeps climbing, since three patches in two years usually costs more than one replacement.

New Roof Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a new roof installation take in South Brunswick?

Most homes take one to three days once the tear-off starts, depending on square footage and how much decking we replace. Rain days and inspections add time.

What drives the cost of a new roof?

Square footage, roof pitch, how many layers we strip, and how much plywood or OSB we swap out. Choosing a standing-seam panel or slate raises material cost significantly.

Will my insurance cover a new roof?

Insurance claim assistance covers storm and hail damage, not end-of-life wear. We photograph the damage, document the storm date, and meet the adjuster on the roof.

Can you roof over the old shingles instead of tearing them off?

A recover or overlay is sometimes allowed for a single layer, but we usually recommend a full tear-off. It lets us inspect the roof deck and avoids trapping decay underneath.

When is the best time of year for a new roof here?

Late spring through early fall gives the sealant and adhesive the warm temperatures they need to activate. Winter installs work, but snow and ice accumulation slows the schedule.

Do you handle the permit and the dumpster?

Yes. We file the permit, build to current building code, and stage the dumpster so the driveway stays usable. Debris leaves the same week the job ends.

Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.

"We had two layers of old three-tab shingle and a soft spot near the chimney. South Brunswick Roofing Pros tore it off, replaced the sheathing, and had the new roof on in two days." — Dana R., Kendall Park

"They showed us photos of the rotted fascia and the failed pipe boot before quoting anything. No pressure, no upsell, just the numbers and what it would cost to fix it right." — Mike T., Monmouth Junction

"Our 1960s split-level leaked every time a nor'easter came through. The new underlayment and ice-and-water shield stopped it cold, and the crew swept the yard twice for nails." — Priya S., Dayton
