Installing a new roof is one of the most critical investments a homeowner can make. A properly installed roof protects your home from leaks, weather damage, pests, and structural decay. It also contributes significantly to energy efficiency, curb appeal, and long-term property value. At SJ Roofing, we specialize in professional roof installation services for homeowners across Ventnor City, NJ, and neighboring towns. We combine local knowledge, premium materials, and precision craftsmanship so your new roof lasts for decades.
Whether you’re building a new home or replacing aging roofing materials, our team handles every detail—from structural underlayments and framing to flashing, vents, and finishing touches. Below, you’ll find every element of our roof installation service, what homeowners can expect, and why trust and quality matter at every step.
We’ve honed a step‑by‑step installation workflow to ensure consistency, safety, and long-term performance. Our process includes:
We begin by visiting your property to inspect the structure, existing roof (if any), flashing needs, ventilation, slope, and any potential problem areas. We also measure and create precise drawings to determine material quantities and complexity.
Once we assess the project, we provide you with a transparent estimate, including labor, materials, permit costs, disposal fees, and warranty options. We’ll walk you through different roofing systems (asphalt shingle, flat roofing membranes, coatings, etc.), explaining pros and cons, cost implications, and aesthetic choices.
For many municipalities (including those in Atlantic County, NJ), a building permit is required. We manage the permitting process to ensure compliance with local codes. Before work begins, we also protect your landscaping, siding, gutters, and outdoor equipment to prevent damage during construction.
If you're replacing an old roof, we perform a safe tear‑off of the existing roofing. We handle the disposal and recycling of old materials as needed. In some cases, we may layer new roofing over existing under strict code compliance (if allowed and feasible), but we’ll always discuss risks and benefits with you.
Once the roof is cleared, we inspect the sheathing or decking for damage (rot or warped sections) and repair or replace where necessary. A solid, dry deck is foundational to roofing integrity.
We install high-quality underlayment (synthetic or premium felt) and ice and water shields in critical areas, such as eaves, valleys, and around penetrations. This acts as a secondary barrier against moisture infiltration.
For asphalt shingle roofs, we follow the manufacturer's best practices for starter strips, proper staggering, and nailing patterns. For flat or low-slope roofs, we deploy membrane systems (e.g., TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen) or coatings as chosen. Flashing, roof vents, ridge caps, drip edges, and penetration details all receive careful installation.
We ensure proper attic ventilation (ridge vents, soffit vents, exhaust vents) to reduce heat buildup, moisture, and long-term wear. Proper airflow supports your roof’s longevity and your home’s energy balance.
After installation, we run through a comprehensive quality check—ensuring flashing, sealants, fasteners, and roof slopes are correct. We then walk the job with you, pointing out features, vent placement, warranties, and maintenance recommendations.
We remove all debris, nails, and leftover materials. We perform magnet sweeps of the yard and driveway. Then we provide your homeowner packet: warranty documentation, maintenance tips, and contact info for follow-up support.
Because we’re based in Ventnor City and serve the Jersey Shore region, we know coastal weather demands—salt exposure, wind uplift, freeze‑thaw cycles. We’re licensed and carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, so your property is protected.
Our team is trained to follow industry best practices, code standards, and manufacturer guidelines. We’re meticulous about flashing, fasteners, and detailing—areas too often overlooked by less scrupulous roofers.
We believe in full transparency. You’ll know what you’re getting, why it’s needed, and how much it costs—before we begin. No hidden charges. No surprises.
The owner or senior project manager oversees every job, so you’re never left dealing with a disconnected crew. We’re responsive from estimate to completion.
It depends on size, complexity, and weather, but a typical single-family home (2,000–3,000 square feet) can often be completed in two to five days. We schedule to minimize disruption and account for inspections or weather delays.
Yes, you can remain in your home. However, expect noise, dust, and periodic crew movement on the roof overhead. We work carefully to maintain safety and minimize inconvenience.
Spring through fall offers ideal conditions. In winter months, cold temperatures and potential snow/ice slow material performance and increase costs. But if needed, we can work year-round with precautions.
Yes, we partner with financing providers so homeowners can invest in a new roof without an upfront burden. We’ll walk through options in your estimate.
Absolutely. We manage permits, schedule municipal inspections, and deliver documentation. That way you don’t have to.
Regular annual inspections, gutter cleaning, debris removal, checking flashing around penetrations (such as vents and skylights), and addressing moss or algae growth early will prolong its life.
