Our Process
How a roofing job runs in Monroe Township, step by step: the call, the written quote, the work and the final walkthrough — and the less expensive option named when there is one.
Four steps, start to finish
Every chimney, skylight and vent priced on its own line, and a written quote before any work starts.
Call with the address
Tell us which community the house is in, whether it is one story or two, and how many skylights and chimneys the roof has.
Count the openings, then measure
Every chimney, skylight, vent and pipe boot is counted and looked at, then the roof is measured in squares and the attic checked.
A written quote, one line per opening
The squares are one line. Each skylight is its own line, reflash or replace; the chimney is its own line; boots and vents are counted.
The work, then the walkaround
Flashing photographed at every opening before it is covered, shingles woven in, photographs before and after.

What to do before a roofer arrives, and what to have ready
A few minutes now make the visit shorter and the quote sharper.
Catch the water and photograph it
A bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched.
Note when it happens
In every rain, only in wind-driven rain, or only after snow.
Count the openings
How many skylights, which rooms they are over, and whether the chimney is in use.
Ask for every opening on its own line
The repair that stops the water, priced on its own.
Storm weeks set the roofing calendar here
Worth knowing before you start calling around, because the busiest weeks are the worst weeks to be deciding a whole roof.
Nor'easters are the storm that turns up in this town's own threads, and the calls they cause arrive together, across the whole township, in the days after one passes. A roof that only needs cover gets it then; a roof that needs replacing does not have to be decided then.
Shingles also need warmth to seal down properly, which is one more reason a replacement arranged for late spring through early fall is a better roof than the same job rushed in February. That is also the time to decide each skylight, with the reflash and replace prices in hand.
