Roof Replacement in Jersey City, NJ

Roof replacement is the process of stripping off your old shingles, underlayment, and flashing, then installing a new roofing system on your Jersey City home—protecting it for 25 to 30 years. We handle the full tear-off and installation so you get a watertight roof that stands up to nor'easters, salt air from the Hudson, and winter ice. You'll get a free written estimate before we start, and most replacements are finished in two to three days.

Roof replacement in Jersey City typically starts with a full tear-off—we strip the old shingles down to the deck, then inspect the plywood for rot, decay, or sagging from years of moisture. We replace any damaged decking, lay down a self-adhered ice and water shield along the eaves and valleys, and install a synthetic underlayment over the rest of the roof. Then we nail new shingles with ring-shank nails, starting with a starter course and working up in staggered field courses so water runs off cleanly. The cost depends on your roof's square footage, pitch, the material you choose, and whether the deck needs repairs—but we'll give you a firm number before any work begins. For most Jersey City homes, that lands between $9,000 and $18,000 for architectural shingles, with metal or slate running higher. This is the right call when your roof is past 20 years old, shingles are curling or losing granules, or a storm has left widespread damage that patching won't fix. If the damage is limited to one small area, a repair might do—but if you're seeing leaks in multiple spots or the deck is rotting, replacement is the smarter investment.
