Stop Leaks with New Roofing

Residential and commercial roofing installation in Jersey City

When your roof shows curled shingles, missing tabs, or water stains on interior ceilings, it's no longer protecting your property from rain, snow, or wind. You'll see new roofing installed with proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation to keep water out and extend the life of your structure. PNS General Contractor removes old roofing, inspects sheathing for damage, and installs a complete roofing system that meets manufacturer warranties and local codes in Jersey City.

This service includes tear-off of existing shingles or flat roofing, sheathing replacement if rot or water damage is found, installation of underlayment and ice barrier, flashing around chimneys and vents, shingle or membrane installation, ridge vents for attic ventilation, and cleanup of all debris. Aging roofs across the region are common candidates for replacement, especially after seasonal storms that expose weak points. Coordination with siding, gutter, and exterior repairs is available if your project includes multiple upgrades.

What's Included in This Service

You'll start with an inspection that identifies missing shingles, damaged flashing, sagging areas, and signs of leaks inside your attic or top floor. In Jersey City, roofs face exposure to coastal storms and freeze-thaw cycles that wear down materials faster than in milder climates. The old roofing is removed down to the sheathing, and any soft or rotted plywood is replaced before new materials go on.

Once sheathing is solid, you'll see underlayment rolled out, flashing installed around penetrations, and shingles or roofing membrane applied in overlapping rows that shed water downward. PNS General Contractor installs ridge vents to allow heat and moisture to escape from the attic, which reduces the risk of ice dams and extends shingle life. Gutters are cleaned and checked for proper attachment, and all roofing debris is removed from your property before the final walkthrough.

This service does not include interior repairs such as drywall or paint, which are handled separately if leaks caused damage. It focuses entirely on the roofing system, sheathing, and exterior components. If your project includes chimney repairs, skylight replacement, or gutter installation, those are added to the scope as needed.

How Our Process Works

Understanding what happens during roofing installation helps you prepare for noise, timing, material delivery, and how weather affects the schedule.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs are completed in one to three days depending on size, pitch, and complexity. Commercial buildings or multi-story properties may take longer.
What happens if sheathing is damaged?
Damaged or rotted plywood is removed and replaced with new sheathing before underlayment and shingles are installed. This ensures a solid, flat surface that won't sag or fail under the new roofing.
What roofing materials are available?
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Jersey City due to cost and durability. Architectural shingles, metal roofing, and flat roofing membranes are also available depending on building type and budget.
How do ridge vents improve roof performance?
Ridge vents allow hot air to escape from the attic, which reduces heat buildup in summer and prevents moisture condensation in winter. Proper ventilation extends shingle life and improves energy efficiency.
What happens if it rains during installation?
If rain is forecast, the roof is tarped at the end of each day to protect exposed sheathing. Work resumes once conditions are dry and safe for crews to return.
