Roof Replacement for Washington Township homes and buildings
Roof replacement in Washington Township often involves larger homes on large lots, with complex rooflines on 1980s and 1990s colonials and contemporaries, or older farmhouses with plank decking and multiple sections. Exposure to wind on open land and heavier snow on Schooley's Mountain both influence the specification.
Asset Roofing & Chimney replaces roofs with architectural asphalt shingles rated for high wind, installed with careful attention to starter courses, fastening and ice-and-water membrane. We can also replace low-slope sections with membrane and handle outbuilding roofs at the same time.
Washington Township housing
Washington Township's housing ranges from 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses and stone houses in and around Long Valley, to 1970s through 1990s colonials and contemporaries on large lots in subdivisions on Schooley's Mountain and the surrounding hills. Barns, carriage houses and other outbuildings are common on older properties. Commercial buildings are limited to small shopping centers and village buildings.
Weather & exposure
Elevation varies from the valley floor to the top of Schooley's Mountain, and open farmland offers little wind protection. Winters are cold and snowy, with heavier snow on the higher ground. Homes on large wooded lots face falling limbs and heavy leaf loads, while those on open fields take the full force of wind.
When replacement is the right call in Washington Township
Replace when shingles are failing on multiple slopes, when leaks recur or when there are multiple layers. A large colonial or contemporary may take several days, depending on complexity.
We tear off to the deck, repair decking, install ice-and-water membrane, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, architectural shingles and ridge ventilation. Skylights that are older are best replaced at the same time.
