THE FACTS

The Homeowner's Handbook

The most important answers you need before making a major roofing decision in Washington Township.

How do I know if I actually need a new roof?

The most definitive signs are widespread curling shingles, excessive granule loss (looking 'bald' or shiny), soft spots in the decking, or a roof that is simply older than 20 years. If you only have one localized leak around a pipe, you may only need a repair.

Professional Roofing Services

We offer comprehensive solutions tailored to the specific needs of your property, rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Diagnostic Inspections

We find the exact source of water intrusion. We check the flashing, the decking, and the ventilation to give you a factual assessment.

Targeted Repairs

If your roof has years of life left, we perform high-quality localized repairs—replacing pipe boots, sealing chimneys, and fixing blown-off shingles.

Complete Replacements

When repairs no longer make financial sense, we install premium architectural shingle systems designed to withstand New Jersey weather for decades.

As a fully licensed and insured New Jersey contractor, Apex Roofing Solutions handles the stringent permitting and building code requirements specific to Washington Township and the surrounding areas.

Washington Township Roofing FAQs

Does a roof replacement require a permit in Washington Township?

Yes, major structural work including a full roof tear-off and replacement requires a building permit from the Washington Township building department. Apex Roofing Solutions handles all municipal permitting and inspection scheduling.

How can I tell if my roof has wind damage?

Look for shingle tabs that are flipped upward, creased, or entirely missing. You may also find shingle pieces in your yard after a storm. If the seal on the shingle is broken, wind-driven rain will easily blow underneath and cause leaks.

Why is ice and water shield important in Bergen County?

Bergen County winters involve heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles that create ice dams on the roof edges. An ice and water shield is a waterproof membrane installed under the shingles at the eaves and valleys to prevent this melting ice from penetrating the roof deck.

How much does a new roof cost in Washington Township?

Cost varies significantly based on the square footage of the home, the pitch (steepness) of the roof, the number of valleys or dormers, and whether the underlying wood decking needs to be replaced due to rot. We provide free, exact written estimates.

What is the difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?

3-tab shingles are a basic, flat, single-layer product with a shorter lifespan. Architectural shingles are constructed with multiple layers of asphalt, offering a dimensional look, much higher wind resistance, and a longer warranty. We highly recommend architectural shingles for New Jersey homes.
