Shingle Roofers in New Jersey

Asphalt shingles are a common roof covering on New Jersey houses. A replacement usually means stripping the old shingles, checking the deck underneath, installing underlayment and flashing, and laying the new shingles. For detached one and two family homes, state rules treat repair or replacement of existing roof covering as ordinary maintenance that may be done without a permit application, but the Division of Codes and Standards says that is not a waiver from code compliance. Ask each roofer which shingle line they install, what the manufacturer and workmanship warranties cover and who is liable if the job fails. New Jersey's amended residential code ties the ice barrier rule to areas where the average daily January temperature is 25 degrees F or less, so ask how they protect the eaves. The roofers below say they work with asphalt shingles.
