What Roof Replacement Involves

Roof replacement starts with a full tear-off—stripping every shingle, underlayment, and flashing down to the deck. We use ring-shank nails for superior grip, and we inspect the plywood for rot or decay before laying anything new. If a section is sagging or shows water staining, we replace it then, not after the new roof is on.

For most homes in Hillsborough, we install architectural shingles—GAF Timberline HD, Owens Corning Duration, or CertainTeed Landmark. These are Class A fire-rated and handle 90+ mph wind gusts, which matters when thunderstorms roll off the Sourland Mountain. We lay a self-adhered ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys, a synthetic underlayment over the rest, and ridge vents at the peak to keep your attic dry and cool.

In humid summers, algae and moss can creep up north-facing slopes. We can add zinc strips or use algae-resistant shingles—ask us when you get your estimate.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement

Shingles don't last forever. Here's what we see on Hillsborough homes that are ready for a new roof:

Curled or cracked shingle edges—often from freeze-thaw cycles that erode the asphalt.
Granules in your gutters. That's granule loss, and it means the shingles are at end-of-life wear.
Water stains on interior ceilings after rain—water is seeping through the deck.
Missing or lifted shingles after a wind storm. Check your yard after a big blow.
Daylight visible through the attic decking. That's a hole you can't afford.
Ice dams in winter. When snow melts and refreezes at the eaves, water wicks up under the shingles and into your home.

If you see any of these, don't wait. A small leak can rot the decking and spread to your walls. We'll come out, take photos, and give you a straight answer—repair or replace.

Our Roof Replacement Process

Step one: a free inspection. We walk your roof, check the decking from the attic, and measure the square footage. You get a written estimate with material options and a timeline.

Step two: the tear-off. Our crew strips the old roof in a day, hauls it away, and sweeps the property with a magnetic nail sweep—no stray nails in your driveway or lawn.

Step three: decking repair. We replace any rotted or decayed plywood, then install the ice-and-water shield, underlayment, starter course, and field courses in staggered layers. We hand-seal every nail head and flashing joint. The ridge vent goes on last, and we clean up completely.

Step four: warranty registration. We register your manufacturer warranty (25–50 years depending on shingle) and give you a copy of the permit we pulled with the township.

Cost Considerations in Hillsborough

Roof replacement in Hillsborough runs $5.50 to $8.50 per square foot for architectural shingles, or roughly $550–$850 per square (100 sq ft). A typical 2,000 sq ft ranch in Clover Hill or Hillsborough Village lands between $11,000 and $17,000, including tear-off, decking repair, and cleanup. Luxury shingles like CertainTeed Landmark Pro push that higher, but they carry a 50-year warranty.

Your exact price depends on roof pitch, number of layers, and whether the decking needs work. We'll give you a firm number before we start—no surprises.

Warranty & Insurance

Manufacturer warranties cover the shingles themselves—typically 25–50 years—and our workmanship warranty covers the installation for 10 years. We register the warranty for you, so you don't have to juggle paperwork.

If you're filing an insurance claim after storm damage, we work with your adjuster. We document the damage with photos, meet the adjuster on-site, and make sure the scope includes everything—including the ice-and-water shield and proper ventilation. We don't inflate estimates, but we don't underbid either.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement

⚠

Cracked or Curling Shingle Edges

Freeze-thaw cycles make asphalt shingles flake and curl at the edges. If you see this across multiple slopes, the shingles are past their useful life.

⚠

Water Stains on Interior Ceilings

After a heavy rain, brown rings on your ceiling mean water is seeping through the roof deck. That's a sign the underlayment or shingles have failed.

⚠

Granules in Gutters

Asphalt shingle granule loss is normal as they age, but a sudden buildup means the protective coating is eroding. Your roof is losing its weather resistance.
