The Repair-or-Replace Scorecard

Go through each item below and notice which column your roof falls into. One answer rarely decides it. The overall lean is what counts.

How much of the roof is affected?

Leans repair: one slope, one corner, one penetration.

Leans replace: worn, curled, or cracked shingles on most faces of the roof.

What do the leaks look like?

Leans repair: a single leak with an obvious source, like a cracked pipe collar.

Leans replace: leaks in several rooms, or ones that come back after being fixed.

What did the storm do?

Leans repair: a few missing shingles or a small damaged area.

Leans replace: damage across a large share of the roof, or a big limb strike.

How does the deck feel and look?

Leans repair: firm underfoot, clean and dry from the attic side.

Leans replace: soft spots, sagging between rafters, dark or damp sheathing over wide areas.

How many layers are up there?

Leans repair: one layer with plenty of life left.

Leans replace: two layers already, which makes another overlay a non-starter.

Can a repair be done cleanly?

Leans repair: shingles still flexible, a reasonable color match available.

Leans replace: shingles so brittle they crack when lifted.

What has the roof cost you lately?

Leans repair: one repair in several years.

Leans replace: a call every season, adding up to a meaningful share of a new roof.

What are your plans?

Leans repair: selling soon, or needing to stretch the budget a year or two.

Leans replace: staying for the long haul, or planning work that would disturb the roof anyway.

Notice that age is not on the list. It is useful background, but a well-installed, well-ventilated roof can outlast a younger one that was not. If most of your answers lean repair, start with our Morris Township roof repair page. If most lean replace, read on.

Scoring a Storm-Damaged Roof

Storms complicate the scorecard because they can turn a roof that leaned repair into one that leans replace overnight. After high wind or a falling limb, walk the yard for shingle pieces, look at the roof from several angles, and check the attic for fresh stains. Photograph what you find before anything is cleaned up. If you plan to file a claim, remember that your insurer, not the contractor, decides what is covered. Our part is to inspect, document conditions, and explain in writing whether storm-damaged roof replacement or a targeted repair is the sensible fix, and why.

What We Look At to Fill In the Scorecard

On the estimate visit we go over every slope for wear and damage, check the edges for the number of layers, examine flashing at the chimney, pipes, walls, and valleys, note how water reaches the gutters, and, when we can get in, look at the attic for stains, damp wood, and ventilation. Those observations feed straight into the scorecard above, and we walk you through them so the recommendation makes sense to you, not just to us.

What a Full Replacement Covers

A real replacement is a rebuild of the roofing system, not just a fresh coat of shingles. Expect these parts in a complete scope:

• Tear-off of existing roofing where the scope calls for removal
• A full inspection of the bare deck
• Replacement of rotten or damaged sheathing, after you have seen it and agreed
• Roofing underlayment over the deck
• Self-adhering ice and water protection at eaves, valleys, and penetrations where required
• Drip edge along the eaves and rakes
• New flashing at chimneys, pipes, walls, and valleys
• Starter strips, the field roofing, and ridge caps
• Intake and exhaust ventilation suited to the attic
• Debris removal and a magnet sweep of the property
• A walkthrough at the end

Picking the Surface

Asphalt shingle roof replacement handles most of the township’s pitched roofs. Architectural shingles are layered and textured; three-tab are flat and even, a good fit for a plainer look or a match. Slate and cedar are both on our menu: slate’s weight means the framing gets a look first and the installation follows stone-specific methods, while cedar needs airflow and the right fasteners to stay healthy. Low-slope areas over porches or additions get EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen, and the seam where they meet the main roof gets extra attention.

Historic Districts

Parts of the township, including the Washington Valley Historic District, carry National Register status. If you are in or near a historic district, ask the township whether exterior changes at your address are reviewed before settling on materials and colors.

How the Work Goes

The process opens with an inspection of the roof and attic and closes with a walkthrough. In between: a written roof replacement estimate, your choice of materials, a conversation about whether a permit is needed and who will get it, protection of the yard and siding, tear-off, the deck inspection, approved deck repairs, and the layered installation listed above. Each layer goes on according to the product’s installation requirements. Cleanup includes hauling debris away and running a magnet over grass and paving.

The Deck Deserves Its Own Paragraph

Sheathing is invisible until the old roof comes off, and it is often where years of small leaks and attic moisture have done their damage. New roofing needs firm wood to hold its nails. That is why decking is a decision point on our jobs: the crew shows you any damaged areas, explains the added cost, and waits for your approval before replacing it. Anything structural beyond the deck, like rafters or ridge framing, we flag for a qualified professional rather than evaluate ourselves, since engineering is not a service we provide.

Joints and Airflow

Leaks love transitions. Roof flashing replacement at the chimney, pipe stacks, walls, and valleys, plus kick-out pieces where a roof edge meets siding, keeps those joints tight. Ventilation is the other quiet hero: air comes in low near the eaves and leaves high near the ridge. How that is done depends on whether the attic is open, finished, or vaulted, so we tailor it rather than use one design for every house.

Four Seasons of Wear

Gusty summer storms, nor’easter rain, snow loads, ice along the eaves, the endless freeze and thaw of late winter, and humid summer heat all take a toll on Morris County roofs. Each shows up in a different spot: wind at the edges, water at the joints, ice at the eaves, heat in the attic. A replacement that addresses all four is worth more than one that just looks new.

Where the Number Comes From

Your total reflects your roof, so we do not post prices. It is shaped by square footage and roof complexity, pitch, how many old layers come off, which product you choose, how easily equipment and a debris container can reach the house, the amount of flashing needed, deck repairs found once the roof is open, permit fees where they apply, labor, and disposal. Upgrades like new ventilation or rebuilding a flat section add to it. You can ask about financing options when we visit.

Permits

It depends on the structure and the scope. The Morris Township construction office can tell you what your property needs, and we nail down with you before the start date whether a permit applies and who files it.

Warranty Details

Manufacturers set product coverage, and it varies from one product to the next, typically depending on correct installation. We put our workmanship terms in writing for you.

Getting Ready

Cars off the driveway, art off the upstairs walls, sheets over the attic storage. Plan for noise through the workday. Keep the dog and the kids clear of the work area. Point out irrigation heads, gates, and plantings you love. We set a start date together, but weather and whatever is hiding under the old shingles can stretch the timeline, so we do not promise an end date.
