What You Get

What's Included in an Shingle Installation

We install the complete multi-layer roofing system start to finish. That isn't just shingles. Here's what goes on your roof, in order, on every install we run.

Ice-and-water shield in valleys, around chimneys, and along the eaves. The spots where ice dams and wind-driven rain hit hardest.
Synthetic underlayment across the rest of the deck. Replaces the old felt that nobody should be using anymore.
Starter strip along the eaves and rakes. Code requires it. Plenty of cheaper installs skip it anyway.
Architectural or impact-rated asphalt shingles - wind-rated. You pick the color from real samples we bring with us, not a webpage swatch.
ridge vent at the peak with matching ridge cap shingles. Lets the attic breathe.
Aluminum drip edge along all eaves and rakes. We don't skip this. A lot of cheap installs do.
Pipe boots, step flashing, and counter-flashing on every penetration. Where roofs leak first.
Magnetic nail sweep at the end of the day so your tires don't pay for it later.

A complete roofing system install on a typical 2,000-square-foot Ocean County roof takes 1 to 2 working days when weather cooperates. The crew strips the existing shingles to the deck, replaces any rotted plywood we find, installs ice and water shield, lays synthetic underlayment, sets starter strip, runs the field shingles, caps the ridge with ridge venting, and trims everything with aluminum drip edge. Premium architectural shingles carry a limited lifetime materials warranty, and we pair it with our own 30-year labor warranty, registered in your name during the final walkthrough. (732) 770-3867.

The Process

Our Roof Installation Process - Six Steps from Call to Done

Here's what happens, in order, when you call us for a roof install. No hidden steps. No surprise paperwork.

Free Inspection

A real roofer climbs your roof, photographs the deck and the existing shingles, and writes up findings. Not a sales pitch. We tell you when a repair is enough and when a replacement is the better long-term call.

Written Estimate

Line-item pricing in your inbox before any deposit. Material specs, labor cost, timeline, warranty terms. If something shifts mid-job, you hear about it first - not after.

Color and Material Selection

We bring real shingle samples to your house. You pick from physical shingles, not website swatches. Coastal homes get a little extra time on the color choice because salt-air weathering shifts how the colors age.

Scheduling

We pick a 2-day window with you. Weather backup days are built into the calendar so a rainy Tuesday doesn't push the whole job a week.

Install Day

Crew shows up at 7 or 8 AM. Tarps your landscaping. Strips and replaces. Cleanup runs at the end of every work day. Magnetic nail sweep covers your driveway and yard when the project wraps.

Walkthrough + Warranty Registration

We register the manufacturer warranty in your name and email you the registration confirmation. If something needs adjustment, we adjust it on the spot. That's the moment your 30-year labor warranty starts.

The full inspection-to-walkthrough timeline on a standard 2,000-square-foot Ocean County install runs roughly 7 to 14 days from the first phone call to the magnetic nail sweep. Most of that is scheduling and material lead time, not actual roof work. The on-roof portion is 1 to 2 working days. We register both warranties at the final walkthrough, not at some abstract future date - meaning your protection starts the day the job is done, not after a 30-day period like some competitor warranties build in. In our experience, the homeowners who feel best about a roof install at the end are the ones who got a written estimate in their hand before they signed anything and a warranty registration in their inbox before the crew left. Both are standard on every install. (732) 770-3867.

Materials

The Shingles We Install - Architectural, Impact-Rated, and Designer

Most installs in our area run on premium architectural shingles built with a reinforced nailing strip - a woven fabric strip in the nailing zone that gives the fastener something tougher than asphalt to grip. That's what unlocks the 130 mph wind warranty and 15-year algae-resistance coverage when installed correctly with the full system.

Architectural (Standard)

The bread-and-butter line on most Ocean and Monmouth County homes. A reinforced nailing strip, 130 mph wind resistance, Class A fire rating, and a color platform that gives the field a sharper shadow line than basic 3-tab. Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty.

Impact-Rated (Coastal)

Class 4 impact-rated upgrade for hail and wind-driven debris. Same reinforced-nailing platform with an additional polymer-modified asphalt layer for impact resistance. Worth the upgrade on south-facing roofs and homes within a mile of the ocean. Some insurance carriers credit a discount for Class 4 shingles.

Cold-Weather / High-Exposure

SBS polymer-modified shingles are more flexible in cold weather, with better hail performance than standard architectural, and excellent for hilltop or high-exposure homes that take year-round wind.

Premium Architectural

Heavier weight per square and a deeper color palette than standard architectural. Closer to a designer-profile look without the full designer price jump. Good middle option when curb appeal matters but the budget doesn't quite reach designer slate-look shingles.

Designer and Specialty

Designer-profile shingles cost roughly 30 percent more per square than standard architectural but copy the look of slate or wood shake without the price tag. Metal panel and standing seam are available on coastal homes where the homeowner wants 50-plus-year service life. We say so when asphalt is the better value.

Most Jersey Shore homes built in the 1970s through 1990s have asphalt shingle roofs that get replaced once per ownership cycle - every 18 to 25 years on coastal lots, faster on south-facing exposures. Premium architectural shingles are the most common thing we install in Ocean and Monmouth Counties. The reinforced nailing strip is the headline feature - a fabric strip that holds the fastener better than asphalt alone, which is what unlocks the 130 mph wind warranty when installed with starter strip and a six-nail pattern. Coastal homes with heavy salt-air or impact exposure benefit from Class 4 impact-rated shingles or SBS polymer-modified shingles. Designer profiles run roughly 30 percent more per square but carry stronger warranties and copy slate or shake aesthetics without the 3X price multiplier of natural slate.

Coastal NJ Notes

Salt Air, Wind, and Ice - What Coastal Roofs Need That Inland Roofs Don't

Salt air across all four counties slowly degrades cheap metal flashing and bargain fasteners. We use stainless steel or aluminum flashing on coastal homes - no galvanized, even though it costs less - and stainless ring-shank nails for the entire shingle field on homes within a mile of the ocean. The cost difference is real but small. It doubles the service life of the flashing details.

Wind ratings matter on the Jersey Shore. Hurricane-force winds aren't every-year events but they happen. Premium architectural shingles carry up to 130 mph wind warranty when installed with the right nailing pattern - six nails per shingle on coastal jobs, not the standard four. The extra two nails per shingle take an hour of crew time on a typical roof and roughly double the wind-rip resistance.

Ice and water shield in the valleys is non-negotiable on NJ roofs. Cheap installs skip it. We don't. Ice dams form along the eaves when warm attic air melts roof snow that refreezes at the gutter line. Without ice and water shield, the resulting back-up gets under the shingles and into the deck. We run the membrane along all eaves, in every valley, around every chimney, and around every penetration.

Warranty

30-Year Labor Warranty + Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty

Every roof install we run is covered by a 30-year Quality Roof Pros labor warranty paired with the limited lifetime manufacturer warranty. We register both in your name during the final walkthrough, the same day the magnetic nail sweep finishes. The limited lifetime manufacturer warranty covers material defects on the shingles for the life of the roof. The 30-year labor warranty covers our installation work - flashing, fasteners, ridge venting, drip edge, and the structural details that determine whether the roof keeps water out. The warranty paperwork lands in your email the day the install is done. Not at some abstract future date.

FAQs

Roof Installation FAQ

How long does roof installation take?

1 to 2 working days for a typical Ocean County asphalt install. Three days for larger homes, complex roofs with multiple valleys, or weather delays. Designer shingle installs can run an extra half day.

Do I need to be home during the install?

No. As long as we have access and a clear staging area for the dumpster, we can run the job without you home. We send a daily text update with photos.

What if the deck has rotted plywood under the old shingles?

We replace it at standard plywood rate plus labor. We show you the rotted boards before we replace them. No surprise charges at the end of the job.

Does the manufacturer warranty really last a lifetime?

Yes. The limited lifetime manufacturer warranty covers material defects on the shingles for the life of the roof, registered in your name when we install. Our 30-year Quality Roof Pros labor warranty covers the installation work itself.

What roofing materials do you install on coastal homes?

impact-rated architectural shingles with stainless flashing on homes within a mile of the ocean. Standard architectural shingles with aluminum flashing further inland. We pick the spec to match your salt-air exposure.

How much does roof installation cost in NJ?

A typical 2,000-square-foot Ocean County home runs roughly $9,500 to $22,000 for a complete roofing system. Coastal homes with full tear-off plus stainless flashing trend higher. Designer shingles add another 30 percent on top of architectural pricing.
