Frequently Asked Questions

We price by the square, and one square covers 100 square feet of roof surface. Pitch, how many layers we tear off, and the condition of your decking move the price more than shingle color does. Estimates are free, and we are licensed and insured.

Often, no. Wind that lifts a field course of asphalt shingles or hail that bruises them can be mended with matching material. Once water wicks past the underlayment into the plywood sheathing, replacement usually costs less than repeated patches.

Yes. We photograph the damage, note the storm date, and meet your adjuster on the roof. You get a line-item estimate that matches the insurance scope, and if rot shows up after tear-off, we file a supplemental claim instead of billing you for it.

Most homes in Lincroft, Belford, and Port Monmouth are torn off and dried in the same day, then finished within one to three days when weather holds. Commercial EPDM and TPO roofs run longer because membrane seaming and insulation follow a different schedule.

Salt air off Sandy Hook Bay corrodes fasteners, flashing, and gutter hangers faster than inland roofs see. Humid summers, frequent thunderstorms, and nor'easters that drive rain sideways under the drip edge make the eave and valley the first places we find failure.

We install asphalt shingles in architectural and three-tab profiles, plus standing-seam metal panels, clay and concrete tile, and flat systems like EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen. Details matter more than the material itself: ice-and-water shield at the eave, step flashing at sidewalls, chimney flashing, and a ridge vent that actually moves air.
