Real work, real roofs — a sample of completed jobs
Shingle roofing is the process of installing or replacing asphalt shingles, underlayment, and flashing on Jersey City homes to protect against nor'easters, salt air, and winter ice. We handle the full job—from tear-off to final cleanup—with a written estimate and a workmanship warranty. You get a roof that handles Hudson County weather for decades.
The heart of shingle roofing is the layering. We start with a tear-off of the old shingles, then inspect the roof deck for rot or sag. If the deck is sound, we lay a self-adhered ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys—critical for Jersey City winters when snow melts and refreezes. Then come the starter course, field course, and staggered courses of architectural shingles, each nailed with ring-shank nails so they grip through wind gusts off the Hudson. We finish with ridge caps and new flashing around chimneys and vents. Salt-laden air from the river corrodes exposed fasteners, so we hand-seal every nail head and use aluminum or stainless where needed.
Cost in Jersey City runs $5.50 to $8.00 per square foot for architectural shingles, depending on roof pitch, number of layers, and deck repairs. A typical 1,800-square-foot home lands between $9,900 and $14,400. Permits run $75–$150 in Hudson County. The job takes two to four days, weather permitting. Shingle roofing is the right call when your current roof shows granule loss, curling, or widespread cracking—but if you have active leaks or rot, we address the deck first. For flat roofs or metal, we'll point you to the right service, but asphalt shingles remain the best value for Jersey City's pitched roofs.
We've been replacing and repairing shingle roofs in Jersey City since 2015, and we know exactly what salt air and nor'easters do to asphalt.
Our crews are trained on the latest shingle systems and install every course with ring-shank nails and proper stagger, so your roof stays tight through nor'easters and salt air.
Every shingle roof we install includes a manufacturer-backed warranty that covers materials for 25–50 years, plus our own workmanship guarantee for the first 10 years. We walk you through what's covered before we start, so there are no surprises if a problem ever shows up.
We lay down tarps to catch every nail and wrap up each day with a magnet sweep, so your yard and driveway are left as tidy as we found them.
