How long does a roof replacement take in East Orange?
Typically 1–2 days for a standard East Orange home. Complex roofs or hidden decking damage can add a day or two — your written estimate includes the expected schedule.
What roofing materials do you install?
Primarily GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed architectural shingles — we're certified by all three, which unlocks their strongest warranties. Metal and flat-roof systems are available too.
Do I need to leave my house while you work?
Yes. Nearly all our East Orange customers stay home during the work. Expect noise during working hours, and we recommend removing fragile items from walls. We protect landscaping and run a magnetic sweep for nails before we leave.

Late spring through fall offers the most predictable conditions in Essex County, but we install year-round — shingle manufacturers approve cold-weather installation with proper technique, and winter scheduling is often faster and more flexible.
