Who Provides Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Newark?

What Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement Do We Provide?

• 3-tab asphalt shingle replacement — 3-tab asphalt shingle replacement installs flat single-tab shingles that last 20 years and carry roughly a 60 mph wind rating, the ASTM D3161 Class A class, per the InterNACHI life-expectancy chart and ARMA wind-class guidance.
• Architectural asphalt shingle replacement — Architectural asphalt shingle replacement installs laminated dimensional shingles that last 30 years and carry a wind warranty up to 130 mph with 6-nail installation, per the InterNACHI life-expectancy chart and ARMA and manufacturer wind-class guidance.
• Tear-off and deck repair — Tear-off and deck repair strips the existing asphalt roof to the bare sheathing and replaces deteriorated plywood or OSB, the removal the NJ Rehabilitation Subcode requires when the covering is water-soaked or the roof already carries 2 or more layers, per N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4.
• Ice barrier and underlayment installation — Ice barrier and underlayment installation applies a self-adhering ice barrier at the eaves and synthetic underlayment across the deck, because the IRC ice-barrier provision (R905.1.2) requires an ice barrier from the eave to a point at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line in ice-prone climates, per the International Residential Code.

How Do You Know If You Need Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement?

• An asphalt roof at or past its material lifespan signals replacement, because a 3-tab asphalt roof lasts 20 years and an architectural asphalt roof lasts 30 years, and the actual life varies up to 40% with climate and maintenance, per the InterNACHI life-expectancy chart and the NRCA.
• Granule loss with sandy grit in gutters and bald asphalt mat indicates shingles nearing end of life; granule loss exceeding 30% of the surface is the common rule-of-thumb for beyond repair, and 50% loss cuts remaining life by up to 70%, per GAF.
• Damage across more than 25–30% of the roof area crosses the contractor-consensus 25% rule, the threshold above which full replacement costs less than continued spot repair, per roofing industry guidance.
• Curling, cupping, and zipper cracking along the shingle cutouts indicate advanced asphalt degradation from thermal cycling and aging, per GAF and InterNACHI inspection guidance.
• Three or more repairs in 2 years signals systemic asphalt failure rather than an isolated defect, the contractor-consensus 3-repairs rule that favors replacement, per roofing industry guidance.
• A spongy or sagging roof deck under the asphalt indicates moisture-rotted sheathing, a structural condition that points toward tear-off and deck replacement rather than a surface patch, per GAF inspection guidance.
• Daylight through the roof deck seen from inside the attic indicates holes in the decking and shingles, a sign that points toward replacement rather than a patch, per This Old House.
• An asphalt roof past 20 years, or 15 on the coast, favors replacement, because a localized repair can cost 5 to 10 times less than replacement only while the asphalt roof stays under 10 to 15 years old, per Home Depot and Kelly Roofing cost data.

How Do Our Roofing Contractors Perform Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement?

What Are the Steps in Our Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement Process?

1. 1
   Deck, Ventilation, and Shingle Assessment

   A Newark Quality Roofing technician inspects the roof deck, the attic ventilation, and the existing asphalt covering, sizing ventilation against the NRCA and ARMA standard of 1 square foot of net-free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor before quoting the asphalt replacement.

2. 2
   Written Estimate and Shingle Selection

   A Newark Quality Roofing written estimate sets the scope, labor, materials, and timeline and presents the shingle options from 2 types — 3-tab at a 20-year life and architectural at a 30-year life — with the wind rating of each named, naming GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed lines, per Integrity Home Exteriors documentation guidance.

3. 3
   Permits and Material Ordering

   A Newark Quality Roofing crew files the construction permit when the job triggers one — a commercial roof or a structural change — separate from the detached one- and two-family ordinary-maintenance exemption under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, and orders the shingles to arrive on the scheduled start date, per the NJ Uniform Construction Code.

4. 4
   Tear-Off and Deck Repair

   A Newark Quality Roofing crew strips the existing asphalt roof to the bare sheathing, inspects every section, and replaces deteriorated plywood or OSB, with complete removal required by N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4 when the roof is water-soaked or already carries 2 or more layers.

5. 5
   Ice Barrier, Underlayment, and Shingle Installation

   A Newark Quality Roofing crew installs the ice barrier from the eave to a point at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line per the IRC R905.1.2 provision, applies synthetic underlayment across the deck, and installs the asphalt shingles to manufacturer specification with the specified nail pattern that keeps the wind warranty intact.

6. 6
   Verification, Cleanup, and Warranty

   A Newark Quality Roofing lead verifies the install against manufacturer specification, runs a magnet sweep for nails at cleanup, and issues a written workmanship warranty on the labor, separate from the manufacturer material warranty, per Integrity Home Exteriors verification and Owens Corning warranty guidance.

• Tear-off and deck repair add cost when the roof carries 2 or more existing layers or the sheathing is deteriorated, because N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4 requires full removal of a multi-layer or water-soaked roof, per the NJ Rehabilitation Subcode.
• Labor accounts for roughly 60–70% of an asphalt-install total, and NJ ranges sit 10–40% above national figures because of higher labor and stricter NJ code, per HomeGuide and Integrity Home Exteriors.
