How much does a new roof cost?

It depends on the size, pitch and material. After the inspection you’ll get a line-by-line proposal with photos, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you sign.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most homes take one to two days on the roof. We’ll give you a start date in writing and text you if weather moves it.

Does my roof qualify for the 30-year workmanship warranty?

It needs a full CertainTeed Integrity Roof System, all metal flashing replaced, and registration with CertainTeed, installed by a ShingleMaster PREMIER contractor like us. We tell you at the inspection.

How much does FORTIFIED add?

Usually $1,000 to $3,000 on a re-roof. Every Haven roof is already built on FORTIFIED principles. Opting in adds the remaining required details, then an independent FORTIFIED evaluator inspects it, and you get an official FORTIFIED Roof certificate that lasts 5 years.

How will I know what’s going on during my job?

We text you when you’re scheduled, the day before we arrive, and when we’re done, with photos. You can always text or call us directly.

Do you work with insurance?

Yes. If your roof has storm damage, we document it with photos, meet your adjuster on site and provide a detailed estimate. (We don’t negotiate claims; only licensed public adjusters can.)

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. NJ Home Improvement Contractor 13VH12626500, with general liability and workers’ comp coverage. We’re happy to send a certificate of insurance before work starts.

Why roofs fail here

New Jersey weather puts your details to the test.

Hot summers, brutal cold and snowy winters, plus hurricanes and wind-driven rain off the coast. That’s hard on a roof in five ways.

Ice dams

Heat from the house melts snow on the roof. It refreezes at the cold edge, and the meltwater backs up under the shingles.

Freeze-thaw

Water gets into small cracks, freezes and swells. Over many winters, nails loosen and flashing pulls away.

Poor ventilation

A hot, damp attic bakes shingles from below and rots the deck. Air has to come in at the eaves and leave at the ridge.

Older decking

On most of the older roofs we replace, some of the plywood underneath is rotted.

Wind and storms

Hurricane and nor’easter winds lift shingle edges and drive rain sideways under flashing. Sealed shingles, the right nailing and tight flashing keep it out.

The Haven Roofing Way

Code is the floor. Our standard starts above it.

Anyone can say they build to code. Here's every layer of a Haven roof, and how it compares with a typical install. Tap a number to see what each layer does.

3. Ice & water shield

A self-sealing membrane at the eaves, where ice dams back water up. We run it from the eave to past your home’s warm wall, the line where the heated rooms begin. Depending on overhang and pitch, that’s 6, 9 or 12 ft.

Sized to your house for full ice-dam protection, not a fixed width.

Here's where most roofs cut corners, and what we do instead.

The detailWhat other contractors often doThe Haven Roofing Difference

Roof deck Shingle right over whatever wood is there. We strip to the deck, inspect every sheet, and replace damaged wood with new CDX plywood before anything goes on top.

Drip edge Often skipped, or reused. New aluminum drip edge at every roof edge, so water drops into the gutter instead of rotting the fascia. FORTIFIED requires it.

Ice & water barrier A single strip at the eaves, if any. CertainTeed WinterGuard at every eave (run past your warm wall), plus every valley, penetration and transition.

Underlayment Cheap felt or tar paper. CertainTeed RoofRunner synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck.

Starter shingles Cut-up shingles, or none. CertainTeed SwiftStart starter at every perimeter, so the first row seals down against wind.

Nails Whatever is on the truck. LumaNail ring-shank roofing nails. Ring-shank fasteners are part of the FORTIFIED standard for holding a roof in high wind.

Shingles Mixed brands and leftover stock. One complete CertainTeed system, deck to ridge, so it qualifies for CertainTeed’s SureStart PLUS warranty.

Wall and chimney flashing Old flashing reused, or caulked over. All-new step flashing at every wall and chimney. Custom metal and copper where the detail calls for it.

Pipe boots and vents The old boots stay. New pipe boot flashing at every penetration, flashed to CertainTeed’s specs. Ridge vent where the attic needs it.

Hip and ridge Cut 3-tab pieces. CertainTeed Shadow Ridge hip and ridge shingles.

Paperwork A one-page quote. A line-by-line scope of work with photos, and your warranty registered with CertainTeed.

LumaNail ring-shank roofing nails. We use LumaNail, a new fluorescent-orange roofing nail, and we're one of the first roofers in New Jersey to install it. It makes every nail easy to check, and easy to find.

See every nail. The caution-orange coating stands out against the shingles, so a missed or low-set nail gets spotted and fixed before the next course covers it.

Holds tight. Galvanized steel with a ring shank grips the deck through years of heat and cold. Ring-shank fasteners are part of the FORTIFIED standard for high wind.

Built for moisture. A rust-resistant coating and a waterproofed head keep the nail sound, even if water ever gets under the shingles.

Nothing left in your yard. Bright orange is easy to spot in grass, gravel and driveways, and the nails are still magnetic, so the cleanup sweep picks them up.
