The 1960s-through-1980s roofs across Whitman Square and Greenview Estates are squarely in replacement territory, and tear-offs are the bulk of our Sewell roofing work.
Your roof is the one part of the house that fails quietly until it fails all at once. Urway Homes installs and repairs asphalt shingle and metal roofing across Gloucester County and South Jersey, and we build every roof the way we would build it on our own street: correct decking, correct flashing, correct ventilation, no shortcuts hidden under the shingles.
When a roof is past repair, a full tear-off is the honest answer. We strip the old roof down to the deck, inspect and replace any rotted sheathing, and rebuild the system from the underlayment up. That means ice-and-water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, proper drip edge, correctly nailed architectural shingles or standing seam metal, and ridge ventilation sized to the attic.
Most South Jersey homes we replace are carrying builder-grade three-tab shingles from the 1980s and 1990s that have simply reached the end of their life. Upgrading to architectural shingles adds decades and dimension; stepping up to standing seam metal can outlast the time you own the home.
Not every roof needs replacing. Lifted shingles, a failed pipe boot, cracked flashing around a chimney, or a single leak over a bedroom are all repairable, and we will tell you honestly when a repair is the right call instead of a replacement.
After a storm we document the damage clearly, so if you are filing an insurance claim you have what you need. New Jersey weather runs the full range, from heavy wet snow loads in January to summer microbursts, and we repair the damage those events leave behind.
Architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles are the workhorse of South Jersey roofing: strong wind ratings, deep shadow lines, and warranties measured in decades. For homeowners who want the last roof they will ever buy, standing seam metal sheds snow and rain cleanly and carries a distinctly modern line.
We install from trusted manufacturers and register the manufacturer warranty on every job so your coverage actually stays intact.
Most South Jersey roof replacements land between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on the size and pitch of the roof, the material, and how much decking needs replacing. We give you a firm written number after walking the actual roof, not a phone estimate.
A typical single-family home is a one to two day job. Larger or steeper roofs, or roofs that need significant decking work, can run longer. We tell you the timeline before we start.
Yes. After storm damage we document everything clearly so you have what you need to file. We cannot file the claim for you, but we make the roofing side of it straightforward.
Architectural shingles are the best value for most homes and look excellent. Standing seam metal costs more up front but can be the last roof you ever buy. We will walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific house.
