We replace steep-slope roofs with architectural asphalt shingles, and we replace flat and low-slope roofs on downtown condominium buildings, additions and garages with modern single-ply membrane. Where a home currently has slate or cedar, we can assess its condition and discuss realistic options; we specialize in shingle and flat systems and will be upfront about what we recommend and why.
Every replacement includes new underlayment, ice-and-water protection in the valleys and at the eaves, new flashing at walls and chimneys, and proper ridge and soffit ventilation. On Morristown homes with living space in the attic or a finished third floor, ventilation and insulation details matter a great deal for preventing the ice dams that colder inland winters produce.
When replacement is the right call in Morristown
Replacement is warranted when shingles are brittle and cracking across the whole roof, when granule loss has exposed the mat, when there are multiple active leaks in different areas, or when the roof is already on its second layer. A roof that has reached that state will not be fixed by another round of patching, and the money is better spent on a new system.
On a Morristown replacement we walk the attic first, photograph the deck from below, and set expectations about decking repairs before the crew arrives. If your home is in an older area, confirm with the town whether any exterior review applies to visible materials. The job itself typically takes one to several days depending on size and complexity, and we protect landscaping and clean up magnetically for nails each day.
