Roof Replacement in Lincoln Park, Cranford: what actually fails
A Lincoln Park replacement can be a steep Victorian or a low ranch on the same street, and they are not priced alike. The low roof is quick to strip but needs its eaves detailed for slow runoff; the steep one needs staging. Both get the same two warranties in writing. On the ranches, the tear-off and the new roof usually finish in one or two days; a Victorian down the block can take longer and needs more of the deck replaced.

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and photographs of the stain and the roof from the ground before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture.

Call (908) 503-0136Note 01What is the most expensive part of replacing a roof?
Usually what nobody could see: extra layers to strip and soft decking under them, and on Cranford's steep, dormered houses, the staging and the flashing rebuilt at every valley and wall. Decking is priced per sheet once it has been counted, and the warranty level is its own line.
Note 02How much should a 1200 sq ft roof cost?
National figures for asphalt shingle installed run $5.21 to $6.82 a square foot, which puts 1,200 square feet of roof at roughly $6,250 to $8,200 before extra layers, decking and staging. A full system with a redeck and a 50-year warranty, at the $14 to $18 a New Jersey roofer quoted, would be $16,800 to $21,600.
Note 03Is a 10 year old roof considered old?
No. A ten-year-old roof that leaks usually has a detail problem, a flashing, a boot, a run of nails, rather than worn-out shingles, and it may still be inside its installer's workmanship warranty. Find the paperwork before paying anyone else to fix it.
