Roof replacement is the process of tearing off your old shingles, underlayment, and flashing, then installing a new roof system on your Middletown, NJ home — protecting it for 25 to 30 years. We handle the full job, from the first inspection to the final cleanup, so you get a watertight roof you can trust.
When we replace a roof in Middletown, we start with a complete tear-off. That means stripping every old shingle, the felt underlayment, and any damaged flashing down to the wood deck. We inspect that deck for rot, decay, or sag — if a section is soft, we replace it before laying anything new. Then we install a self-adhered ice and water shield along the eaves and in valleys, which is critical for Nor'easter storms that push rain and wind up under the shingles. We nail every shingle with ring-shank nails, which grip better than smooth nails in high winds. The starter course goes on first, then the field course, with staggered courses so water runs off without finding a seam. We hand-seal any exposed fasteners and finish with new ridge vents and flashing. The whole job usually takes two to three days for a typical home in Lincroft or Navesink. We use architectural shingles from GAF and CertainTeed, and we offer options with algae resistance — important in humid summers. Every roof we replace comes with a manufacturer warranty plus our own workmanship guarantee. We also handle the permit with Middletown Township, so you don't have to. And we clean up every nail and scrap with a magnetic sweeper before we leave. That level of care is why homeowners in Belford and Port Monmouth call us back for gutters and siding later.
Roof replacement includes the full tear-off of your existing roof, disposal of all debris, inspection and repair of the wood deck, installation of self-adhered ice and water shield, new underlayment, architectural shingles, flashing around chimneys and vents, ridge vent installation, and a full cleanup with magnetic nail sweep. We also replace any rotten or decayed decking at no extra charge if we find it during the tear-off. The service covers all labor, materials, and permits, and we provide a manufacturer warranty plus a workmanship guarantee.
Roof replacement is needed when you see these signs: shingles that curl, crack, or buckle; granule loss in your gutters; daylight showing through attic boards; water stains on ceilings; or a roof over 25 years old. Moisture can seep under worn shingles, wick along the decking, and erode the wood over time. Flashing that's loose or corroded lets water in around chimneys and vents. If you notice a sag in the roofline or a persistent leak, that's end-of-life wear — repair won't hold. Call us for an inspection and we'll tell you honestly whether replacement is the right call.
Roof replacement works in five steps. First, we do a free inspection and measure your roof in squares — one square is 100 square feet. We check the decking, flashing, and ventilation, then give you a fixed quote. Second, we schedule the tear-off. Our crew strips the old roof in a day, down to the deck. Third, we repair any damaged decking — we've found rot in homes near Sandy Hook Bay more than once. Fourth, we install the new roof: ice and water shield, underlayment, starter course, field course, and staggered courses, all nailed with ring-shank nails. Fifth, we clean up and do a final walkthrough with you. The entire process takes two to three days, and we protect your landscaping with tarps.
