Asset Roofing & Chimney replaces roofs with architectural asphalt shingles installed for high wind and heavy snow, and replaces flat and low-slope roofs on additions, porches and garages with membrane. On a home that still carries slate or cedar, we assess its condition and discuss honestly whether repair by a specialist in that material or conversion to shingle is the sensible path. We do not claim slate or cedar as our specialty, and we will say so.
Each replacement here includes generous ice-and-water protection along the eaves and in every valley, synthetic underlayment, six-nail fastening, hand-sealed edges on exposed slopes, new flashing at every dormer, wall and chimney, and a ventilation plan suited to a large house with finished attic space.
When replacement is the right call in Bernardsville
Replacement is warranted when shingles are brittle or shedding granules across the roof, when leaks appear in several unrelated areas, when the roof carries multiple layers or when ice dam damage has reached the decking. For slate or cedar, conversion makes sense when a large share of the material is failing; if only scattered pieces are failing, repair by a specialist may be the better value, and we will tell you which we think applies.
Before starting we inspect the attic, photograph the decking, and discuss the shingle color and profile that suits the house. On a large Bernardsville home the work takes several days or more, and we plan access, material delivery and debris removal around long driveways and mature plantings. The roof is never left open overnight.
