Project Photos
We just finished replacing a roof in East Orange, NJ, due to some leaks from worn-out shingles.
The Challenge
The old roof was leaking, so we knew we had to tackle the compromised shingles fast. Keeping the home dry was our priority.
The Solution
After checking things out, we got to work replacing the roof. We stripped off the bad shingles and put on new ones for solid coverage.
