Replacing a roof in Brick

Most homes in Brick are owned by the people living in them, about 82 percent, so the choice between another round of patching and a new roof usually rests with you. Spot fixes make sense for a few lifted shingles. They make less sense once the covering is near the end of its service life, wear shows across several slopes, the deck feels soft underfoot, or two layers are already in place.

Wind deserves a specific question. Weather records for this forecast zone list 49 high wind events, so compare the wind rating printed on each shingle and ask how edges and ridges will be nailed down. Because a large share of Brick houses date from the 1970s, also ask how the contractor handles surprises found once the old layers come off.

Before signing, settle the material, the start date and sequence of work, the manufacturer's warranty that covers the products, and how the old shingles will be torn off, hauled away and disposed of. Whether a permit applies depends on the scope and the type of building, so confirm the rule with the Brick Township Building Department and agree on who would file. A referral service like ours connects you with an independent local contractor who serves your area.
