Shingle Roof Replacement: what to know
An asphalt shingle roof in North New Jersey generally lasts somewhere between two and three decades, depending on the product, how well the attic is ventilated, and how many hard winters it has absorbed. When yours gets there, the signs are consistent: granules collecting in the gutters, shingles curling at the corners, dark streaks spreading across slopes, and repairs that hold for a season and then fail somewhere new.
Asset Roofing & Chimney specializes in asphalt shingle roofing for homes and commercial buildings throughout North New Jersey. We strip the roof to the deck rather than layering over old shingles, because a layover hides rotted plywood, traps heat, and shortens the life of the new roof. From a clean deck we rebuild the system in order: plywood repairs, ice-and-water barrier, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, flashing, shingles, and ridge ventilation.
You will have decisions to make: architectural versus three-tab shingles, color, ventilation upgrades, and whether to add skylights or replace the chimney flashing while the roof is open. We walk you through each one with the trade-offs explained plainly. Call (201) 727-3113 or request a free estimate and we will measure the roof and put a written scope in your hands.
