Purpose-built roofing systems for new construction, home additions, and complete re-roofs. Engineered from the deck up with zero compromises.
A new roof installation is an opportunity to build a roofing system right from the very first layer. Whether you're constructing a new home, adding an addition, or building a new commercial structure, the decisions made during installation will determine how that roof performs for the next 30 to 50 years. At Roofers in NJ, we approach every new installation as a ground-up engineering project.
Our new installation process begins with a detailed review of the architectural plans and structural specifications. We evaluate the roof geometry — valleys, hips, ridges, penetrations — and design a waterproofing strategy specific to each detail. We specify the appropriate underlayment, ice and water shield placement, ventilation requirements, and material selection based on the home's orientation, the roof pitch, and New Jersey's specific climate demands.
New installation capabilities: Asphalt architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark Pro), standing seam metal roofing (26 and 24 gauge), corrugated metal panels, flat roofing systems (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen), synthetic slate and shake, and custom copper accent work. We coordinate with general contractors, framers, and HVAC teams to ensure the roof system integrates properly with the entire building envelope.
For New Jersey's climate, we typically recommend architectural asphalt shingles or standing seam metal. Architectural shingles offer an excellent balance of cost, aesthetics, and performance — Class 4 impact-rated options from GAF and Owens Corning provide superior hail resistance, which is increasingly important as our storm patterns intensify. Metal roofing offers unmatched longevity (50+ years), energy efficiency (reflecting solar heat to reduce cooling costs by 25-40%), and wind resistance up to 140 mph.
Ventilation is non-negotiable. New Jersey's combination of intense summer heat and occasional winter freezing makes proper attic ventilation critical. Inadequate ventilation causes premature shingle deterioration from below, ice dam formation in winter, and moisture buildup that leads to mold and wood rot. Every new roof we install includes a balanced ventilation system calculated to the specific attic volume.
Underlayment selection matters more than most homeowners realize. We use synthetic underlayment on all new installations — it provides better water resistance than felt paper, won't tear during installation, and doesn't wrinkle in New Jersey's heat. Ice and water shield is installed at all eaves, valleys, around penetrations, and at wall-to-roof junctions regardless of code requirements.
Every operation follows our proven framework. Disciplined execution from start to finish.
