  • What are the signs that my roof needs to be replaced?

    Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, excessive granules in gutters, leaks, water stains on ceilings, or sagging roof areas. Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20–25 years, so if yours is approaching that age, it may be time for a replacement.

  • Should I repair or fully replace my roof?

    If the damage is small or localized (like a leak or missing shingles), repairs may be enough. But if your roof has widespread damage, significant wear, or is past its expected lifespan, a full replacement is usually the most cost-effective and reliable solution.

  • What are the best roofing materials for New Jersey homes?

    • Asphalt shingles – Affordable, versatile, and long-lasting (20–30 years).
    • Metal roofing – Extremely durable, energy-efficient, and can last 40–70 years.
    • TPO & EPDM systems – Best for flat or low-slope roofs, offering durability, waterproofing, and energy efficiency.

  • How often should my gutter system be cleaned or inspected?

    We recommend cleaning your gutters twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. This prevents clogs, leaks, and foundation damage. Gutters that are sagging, leaking, or pulling away from the fascia may need repairs or replacement.

  • What are seamless gutters and why are they better?

    Seamless gutters are custom-formed on-site to fit your home in a single continuous piece. With fewer joints, they’re stronger, leak less, and last longer than traditional sectional gutters. Aluminum seamless gutters are one of the most popular and cost-effective options.

  • What is flashing and why does it matter?

    Flashing is a thin waterproof material (often metal) installed around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys to prevent leaks. Damaged or corroded flashing is one of the most common causes of roof leaks, which is why regular inspections are important.

  • Does roof pitch or type affect what materials I can use?

    Yes. Steeper roofs are better suited for shingles or metal roofing, while flat and low-slope roofs are typically covered with TPO or EPDM systems. Choosing the right material ensures both durability and efficiency.

  • How long does a roof replacement take?

    Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days. The exact timeframe depends on your roof’s size, slope, and weather conditions during the installation.

  • Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage?

    In New Jersey, most homeowners insurance policies cover damage caused by storms, wind, hail, or other sudden events. Normal wear and tear, however, is not covered. It’s always best to review your specific policy.

  • Do roofing contractors and materials come with a warranty?

    Yes. With Home Remodeling Roofing & Gutters Plus, you get:


    • Manufacturer warranties – Cover the materials for their rated lifespan.
    • Workmanship warranty – Covers the installation and labor, giving you added peace of mind.
