When we first met the homeowner in Barnegat Township, NJ, he had a real concern hanging over his head—literally. His roof was over 15 years old, and his insurance company had notified him that coverage could be dropped if it wasn’t replaced soon. What started as a stressful situation quickly turned into a fresh opportunity to give his home (and even his shed) a brand-new look and solid protection.
Protecting What Matters First
Before we lifted a single shingle, our crew prepared the property. Safety tarps and protective plywood were set up around the home to ensure landscaping, siding, and anything delicate was shielded. We know a roof replacement is a big project, and we treat every home as if it’s our own.
The Tear-Off & Inspection
We carefully tore off all the old asphalt shingles from both the main house and shed. This was a multi-layered roof, but our team handled it at no extra cost. Once the decking was exposed, we inspected every sheet of plywood and replaced any rotted sections—up to four sheets at no additional charge—so the new system would have a solid foundation.
Building a Roof That Lasts
With the foundation ready, we installed a complete Owens Corning roofing system:
- Owens Corning Duration Shingles with SureNail® Strip for strength and wind resistance.
- Ice & Water Shield along gutter edges, valleys, and flashings for leak protection.
- Synthetic underlayment to seal the deck.
- Metal drip edge along gutters and rakes to guard against water damage.
- New pipe boots, flashing, vents, and ridge vents, all color-matched for a clean finish.
- A brand-new GAF attic fan with humidistat for healthy ventilation.
We even took the time to remove rust from the chimney cap and coat it with rust-proof paint. The shed roof was replaced too—completely free of charge—so everything matched perfectly.
The Final Touch
When the last shingle was nailed in place, our team did a supreme cleanup. Every piece of debris went into a USA dumpster, which was hauled away within two business days. By the end, the only thing left behind was a beautiful, brand-new roof.
The Outcome
Now, this Barnegat Township homeowner not only has a roof that meets insurance requirements but also a system designed for decades of protection and peace of mind. Both the home and the shed look brand new, and the homeowner can rest easy knowing his investment is protected.
