Wind-Damaged Shingle Replacement in Plainfield, NJ

Plainfield, NJ

We recently replaced a roof in Plainfield, NJ, after the shingles got damaged by the wind.

The Challenge

The roof had shingles that were pretty much torn up. We had to plan the work carefully to get it all sorted out.

The Solution

We took off the damaged shingles and replaced them quickly. The structure underneath stayed in good shape. The whole process usually takes about 1 to 3 days, depending on the roof size.

Materials Used

We used Asphalt shingles — architectural, three-tab, or designer. Starter-strip shingles — installed along eaves and rakes. Hip and ridge cap shingles — finish hips and roof peaks. Synthetic underlayment or roofing felt — protection beneath shingles. Ice and water shield — waterproofing at vulnerable areas. Drip edge — metal edging along eaves and rakes. Valley flashing or valley membrane — based on the valley installation method. Step flashing — where the roof meets sidewalls. Apron and counterflashing — for walls and chimneys, as applicable. Pipe boots — seal around plumbing vent pipes. Ridge vents and intake vents — provide attic ventilation. Roofing nails — sized for the shingles and roof deck. Cap nails — secure underlayment. Roofing sealant or cement — compatible with the roofing system. Plywood or OSB roof decking — replace damaged sections. Decking nails or screws — secure replacement sheathing. Skylight flashing kits — if skylights are present. Ventilation baffles — where needed to keep soffit airflow clear.
