Replacing a roof in Woodbridge
Roughly half of the houses in Woodbridge went up before 1960, about 48 percent by Census count, and many of those roofs have been re-covered more than once. That history matters when you weigh a new roof against another round of patching. If shingles are curling across several slopes, the roof is near the end of its rated life, or two layers already sit on the deck, a tear-off down to the boards usually serves you better than spot fixes. It also lets the crew see soft or rotted sheathing that a patch would simply hide.
Middlesex County logged 28 hail reports between 2016 and 2025, with stones as large as 1.75 inches. That is a reasonable prompt to ask whether impact-rated shingles fit your budget and the look of your home.
Before signing, go through the material choice, the expected start date and how long the work is planned to take, the manufacturer's warranty on the shingles and underlayment, and how the old covering will be hauled away. On permits, the Woodbridge rule depends on the scope and the type of building, so confirm with the Woodbridge Township Building Department and agree in writing who handles any filing. We connect you with an independent contractor who can walk through these points with you.
