Roof Replacement in East Orange by Herts
East Orange, NJ
Project Photos
We just finished replacing a roof in East Orange. We aimed to make sure the home has a strong and reliable roof.
The Challenge
We took a good look at the old roof before getting started. The job involved taking off the old materials and setting up the new ones to keep the house protected.
The Solution
We tore off the old roof and put down new asphalt shingles with an ice and water barrier. Depending on the size of the roof, this usually takes us about 1 to 3 days.
