Asphalt Shingle Roofing in New Jersey
Architectural asphalt shingle is the right answer for most New Jersey homes - but the warranty depends on whether the whole system went on to specification, not just the shingle.
Why shingle still wins for most homes
- The best balance of installed cost against service life in this climate.
- A wide colour and profile range, including designer lines that read as slate or shake.
- Repairable - a damaged section can be replaced without touching the rest of the roof.
- Manufacturer system warranties are available when the full assembly is installed by a credentialed contractor.
What makes a shingle roof last
- A correct starter course at eaves and rakes, not cut-down field shingles
- Ice and water shield at eaves, valleys and every penetration
- Synthetic underlayment rather than felt
- Nailing within the manufacturer’s nail zone, at the specified count per shingle
- New flashing at every wall, chimney and valley
- Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation so the deck stays dry
- Matching ridge cap from the same product line

Warranty tier
We explain what a material-only warranty covers against a full system warranty, and what each costs.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing FAQs
How long does an asphalt shingle roof last here?
A properly installed and ventilated architectural shingle roof typically gives twenty-five to thirty years in New Jersey. Poor ventilation is the single biggest reason roofs fall short of that.
Can you install over the existing shingles?
It is sometimes permitted, but we rarely recommend it. Overlaying conceals deck problems, shortens the life of the new shingles and can void the manufacturer warranty.
Will you match my existing shingle for a repair?
We will get as close as the product line allows. Bear in mind that weathering changes the colour of the existing roof, so a perfect match on a ten-year-old roof is not realistic.
