We install architectural asphalt shingles rated for high wind on sloped roofs, and single-ply membrane on the flat and low-slope sections that are common on mid-century homes and on the commercial buildings along the township's main corridors. Every replacement includes new underlayment, ice and water protection, new flashing and a ventilation plan.
For ridge-top homes, we pay particular attention to fastening patterns, starter courses, ridge cap selection and edge metal, because these are the details that separate a roof that stays put in a nor'easter from one that sheds shingles. For shaded lots, we extend ice protection farther up the slope than the minimum.
When replacement is the right call in West Orange
Consider replacement when shingles are curling or cracking, you have had wind loss more than once, granules are collecting in gutters or leaks are appearing in more than one area. A roof in that condition will keep producing repair bills. We inspect, show you photos and give a straight answer about whether repair is still sensible.
If your home has a lower-level flat roof, garage roof or addition, consider replacing it at the same time as the main roof. Flashing between the two systems is far more reliable when both are new, and one mobilization is less disruptive than two.
