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.
Full Roof Replacement
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.
Repair or Replace, Assessed Honestly
Not every roof needs tearing off. Lifted shingles, a failed pipe boot, or cracked chimney flashing are repairs, not replacements, and we will say so instead of selling you a whole roof you do not need yet. When the decking is soft, the shingles are curling on every slope, or you are on your third patch in two years, replacement is the honest answer and we will tell you that just as plainly.
If your roof is actively leaking or took a hit in a storm, our roof repair service covers the fast fix and the insurance paperwork. This page is about the full replacement that comes when a roof has genuinely reached the end of its life.
Materials We Install
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.
How a roofing project works
On-site inspection
The owner walks the roof, checks the decking, flashing, and ventilation, and gives you a straight assessment: repair or replace.
Clear written estimate
One number, itemized. Materials, labor, and scope in plain language, with no pressure to sign on the spot.
Tear-off and build
We protect the landscaping, strip the old roof, replace bad decking, and build the new system to manufacturer spec.
Cleanup and walk-through
Magnetic sweep for nails, full debris haul-away, and a final walk-through so you see exactly what was done.

Roofing questions
How much does a new roof cost in NJ?
Most South Jersey roof replacements land between $8,000 to $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.
How long does a roof replacement take?
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.
Do you help with insurance claims?
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.
Shingles or metal?
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.
A roof replacement is the right moment to add new seamless gutters and check the fascia. Ask us to look at both.
