Every Roofing Service We Offer in Toms River, NJ

Timing decides more here than material does. If your house is scheduled to come up on new piles within two years, a full replacement now is money spent twice, because the lifting crew works over that roof and the staging has to go up again afterward. So we will quote you two years of honest patching instead.

Roof Replacement in Toms River, NJ

A leak in a raised house does not show up where a leak in a slab-on-grade ranch shows up. Water enters at the roof, runs the framing cavity down two storeys, and finally appears at the ceiling of the enclosure under the first floor. By then the stain is nowhere near the hole.

The storm that takes roofs off along this shore is usually a nor'easter, not a hurricane. The difference matters. Peak gusts are lower, but the wind holds from one quarter for a day and a half while the tide stacks up behind it.

Honest answer first: hail is not the thing that damages roofs in Ocean County. We get it occasionally, in a summer line of storms moving off the mainland. It is not what puts roofs on this shore into the ground.

Lift a house eight feet and its roof stops being sheltered by the neighbours. On a street of one-storey ranches, a raised roof sits in cleaner, faster air than the one beside it, and the edges take the difference. Wind almost never starts in the middle of a roof.

Bring your elevation certificate to the inspection. It is a flood document rather than a roofing document, but it carries the two numbers that decide what a roof visit to your house costs: the lowest floor elevation and the adjacent grade. Subtract one from the other, add the storey heights, and you have the eave height above the driveway.

Asphalt is what almost every roof on this shore actually is, and the choice that matters is not which laminate you buy. It is how the first three feet of it are built. Spend the money there and skip the designer profile.

Within a mile of the water, specify aluminum. Steel panels, even behind a good factory finish, corrode at every cut edge and every fastener penetration once salt gets into the water sitting on them, and cut edges are what a hip roof is full of. Standing seam in twenty-six-gauge aluminum with concealed clips is the assembly we install here.

This is the page where we argue against the product. Concrete and clay tile are rare in Ocean County, and on a house that has been lifted onto columns they are usually the wrong answer, for a reason that has almost nothing to do with roofing. Tile is heavy.

We will not coat an asphalt shingle roof, and we would rather explain why than simply decline. Coating a shingle roof seals the surface that is meant to shed water and breathe, traps moisture in the mat, and voids whatever manufacturer coverage the roof still had. It also makes the next honest inspection impossible.

Elevating a house removes the buffer underneath it. The crawlspace or slab that used to absorb the temperature swing is now open air, flood vents and a parking pad, so the attic becomes the only unconditioned volume left in the building. That changes what the attic does through a shore winter.

We would rather you did not add one. On a house that has been raised, every skylight you install is a penetration you will be resealing from a scaffold rather than a ladder, for as long as you own the building. The economics are simple, and nobody presents them at the point of sale.

The standard advice is to get water four feet away from the foundation. On a house standing on columns there is no foundation wall to protect, and following that advice puts a season of roof runoff straight into the parking pad and the utility platform under your first floor. That space is not a yard, and none of this is theoretical.

On a lifted house the fascia and soffit are frequently the newest wood on the building and the worst detailed. Gable returns get rebuilt during elevation, eaves get re-trimmed to meet new siding, and the crew doing it was not thinking about ventilation. The first thing we check is whether the vented soffit still vents.

A masonry chimney and a wood-framed roof move differently at the best of times. Put the whole structure on jacks, carry it up eight feet and set it on new columns, and the joint between the two is the first place we look afterwards. Sometimes the chimney was taken down and rebuilt as part of the elevation, which is clean.

We will not promise to tarp your roof at nine at night in a forty-knot nor'easter. On a house with a twenty-four-foot eave nobody can hold a tarp in that wind safely, and a crew that says otherwise is either not coming or not being careful. What we will do is tell you what to do first, on the phone, for nothing.

Commercial work on this shore is seasonal in a way it is not inland. Motels, marinas, restaurants and the retail along Route 37 and Route 9 cannot lose a roof deck to construction in July, so the calendar drives the scope more than the specification does. We plan around that rather than against it.

An elevated house has three policies looking at it, and the roof falls between them. The flood policy answers for water from below. The homeowner policy answers for wind and falling objects from above.

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Toms River and the Ocean County shore. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
