Shingle Roofing in NW Bergen County

Types of Roofing Shingles

Creating a high-quality shingle roof starts with selecting the right materials. Some common shingle types include:

• Asphalt/fiberglass come in various colors and styles, including the traditional three-tab and more robust architectural shingles.
• Metal shingles are available in steel, aluminum, and copper. They reflect solar heat away from the home, reducing cooling costs and offering a sleek, modern look.
• Tile is made from clay or concrete and is known for its fire resistance and ability to withstand heavy weather conditions.
• Cedar or redwood shingles blend with the natural surroundings and offers excellent insulation.
• Slate is a premium roofing material that is incredibly durable, fire-resistant, and last a century or more. 
• Composite shingles mimic the look of natural slate, wood, or other materials while providing enhanced durability and lower maintenance. 

Choosing the right shingle is about aligning your home's needs with your aesthetic vision. Consider your home's architectural style, the local climate conditions, your budget considerations, and the structural capacity of your roof. 

Our Approach to Shingle Roofing

Our approach starts with an initial assessment and roof evaluation, where our experts evaluate the structural integrity of your roof, considering factors such as load-bearing capacity, ventilation, and insulation. We will then create a customized roofing plan that details every component, from the type of shingles to the specific color and texture that best suits your home.

During the design and visualization phase, we use advanced rendering software so you can see how different shingle types and colors will look on your home. Once you have made your choice, we install your new shingles following manufacturer guidelines for maximum performance and warranty compliance. We thoroughly inspect the job site and conduct regular quality checks to ensure that every aspect of the project meets our high standards.

After installation, our team provides ongoing support backed by a comprehensive warranty. Our relationship with our clients doesn't end after the project. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor the roof's condition and address any concerns promptly.

How Long Does a Shingle Roof Last?

Generally, the lifespan of a shingle roof can range from 15 to 30 years. Asphalt shingles are the most common and economical choice, often lasting around 20 years. Higher-grade architectural shingles can extend beyond 30 years under optimal conditions. 

There are several factors affecting their longevity, including:

• Quality shingles made from durable materials can significantly extend a roof's life.
• Expert installation ensures optimal performance and longevity.
• Local weather patterns, including severe storms or extreme temperatures, can affect durability.
• The roof angle influences water and debris runoff, impacting wear and tear.
• Good ventilation prevents damaging heat and moisture buildup under the shingles.
• Consistent maintenance allows for early detection and repairs.
• Light-colored shingles may reduce heat absorption and slow aging.
