Choosing a roof made for a hilltop winter
A new roof starts with settling on the right material for the house, the budget, and the exposure, and we set out the genuine trade-offs instead of steering you onto whatever happens to be the easiest sale. Architectural asphalt covers most Summit homes for solid reasons: it is easy on the budget, comes in a broad spread of colors that suit the old houses and the new builds alike, and it is a proven, easily mended product. Standing-seam metal runs higher up front but outlasts asphalt by a wide margin, sheds snow cleanly, and gives the ice dams that punish low-pitch eaves through a Jersey winter far less to grab, and it holds its own against the wind a ridge-top lot has to take. The right pick comes down to the house and how long you mean to stay in it.
Because we make our living installing the roof and not pushing one product, the recommendation you get is anchored in what genuinely suits your situation. An owner planning to stay for the long haul often comes out ahead on the longer-lived material, while another owner is far better served by a quality asphalt. We lay the honest comparison in front of you and leave the choice in your hands.
Getting every course beneath the surface right
A new roof is a great deal more than the layer your eye lands on. On new construction and additions we raise the entire system from the deck up: we check the sheathing, roll out quality underlayment with self-sealing membrane along the eaves and valleys where Summit winters force water back up under the roof, set new flashing at every wall and penetration, run a clean drip edge, and cap it with the roofing material itself. Every course is carrying a job, and the roof only does its work when all of them are pulling together.
Ventilation gets designed in from the start, one of the real prizes of building a roof fresh rather than working around an old one. Balanced intake down at the eaves paired with exhaust up at the ridge keeps the attic riding close to the outdoor air, which guards the roof against the summer heat that broils shingles from below and, every bit as important, holds the deck cold enough in winter to head off the melt-and-refreeze cycle that breeds ice dams. Plenty of roofs die young because the original venting was simply wrong from the day it went on. A fresh installation is the moment to set it right for the entire life of the roof.
Permitted, inspected, and the warranty kept whole
A new roof ought to be built straight down the line. We file the permit the job calls for, hold to the manufacturer's spec so the material warranty stays good, and put the work in front of an inspector the way code requires. Skipping any of that might shave a few dollars off the front end, but it gambles with the warranty, the insurance, and the resale of the house, and gambling with your home is not the way we operate.
Working in step with the rest of a build is part of doing a new roof properly. On new construction and additions the roof has to come at the right beat in the schedule, after the framing and sheathing are squared away and in rhythm with the other trades, so the structure gets dried in without stalling the work waiting behind it. We stay in contact with the homeowner and, where it applies, the general contractor to time the install correctly rather than treating the roof as some isolated chore dropped into the middle of a project. Nailing that sequence keeps the whole build rolling and gets the new space under cover against the weather as soon as possible.
The whole thing opens with a free, no-pressure consultation. We look the project over, talk through the material choices and the trade-offs that ride with each, and hand you a clear written estimate with the scope laid out in full. When the new roof is buttoned up, you walk away with the documentation, the manufacturer coverage, and our own labor guarantee stacked on top, so the roof over your new space is one you can put out of your mind for good.
