Roof replacement questions, answered
A roof usually needs full replacement rather than another repair when damage is spread across multiple areas rather than isolated to one spot, when the roof is at or past its expected lifespan (roughly 20–25 years for asphalt shingle), when granules are heavily collecting in the gutters, or when the same leak keeps recurring after repeated patch jobs. A single localized issue on an otherwise sound, newer roof is usually still just a repair.
W&S General Construction LLC always inspects first and gives an honest recommendation — we only propose a full roof replacement in Newark-area homes when it's genuinely the more cost-effective option long-term.
Most residential roof replacements take one to three days from tear-off to final cleanup, depending on the size and pitch of the roof, the material used, and weather conditions. Larger or more complex rooflines with multiple pitches, dormers or chimneys typically take longer than a simple rectangular roof.
W&S General Construction LLC gives you a realistic timeline before work starts, and we stay on it — call (973) 536-5505 to schedule an inspection.
The two most common options for residential roof replacement in New Jersey are asphalt shingles (the most affordable and widely used, available in 3-tab or architectural/dimensional styles) and metal roofing (higher upfront cost but longer lifespan and better performance in snow and heavy weather). The right choice depends on budget, roof pitch, and how long you plan to stay in the home.
W&S General Construction LLC installs both asphalt shingle and metal roofing systems — we'll walk you through the trade-offs for your specific roof at (973) 536-5505.
Homeowners insurance typically covers roof replacement when the damage is sudden and accidental — like a storm, fallen tree, or hail — but generally does not cover replacement due to normal wear, age, or lack of maintenance. Insurers usually require documentation and photos of the damage, and often an adjuster inspection, before approving a claim.
W&S General Construction LLC can document storm damage with photos to support an insurance claim, and we're happy to speak with your adjuster directly — ask us about it when you call (973) 536-5505.
