FAQs
What premium roofing materials do you install in Morristown?
We specialize in high-performance metal panels (standing-seam aluminum and Galvalume steel), natural quarried slate, synthetic slate, clay and concrete tiles, designer architectural asphalt shingles, and integrated solar shingles. Each product line has been vetted for New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles and carries top industry certifications such as UL Class 4 impact ratings and Miami-Dade wind approvals.
How do premium materials benefit Morristown homeowners compared with standard shingles?
Premium roofs last two to four times longer, resist hail and wind damage up to 130 mph, and require far fewer repairs. Their reflective coatings and integrated ventilation can lower summer attic temperatures by 30 °F, cutting cooling costs by 10–20 %. They also boost curb appeal and resale value; recent local appraisals show a metal or slate roof can add 4–7 % to a Morristown home’s market price.
Are premium roofs worth the higher upfront cost?
Yes, when you factor in life-cycle costs. A quality asphalt shingle roof may need replacement after 15–20 years, whereas metal, slate, or tile can last 50–100 years. Over that span you avoid at least two tear-offs, save on energy bills, and reduce insurance premiums (many carriers offer discounts for Class 4 roofs). Net savings typically offset the initial price difference within 12–15 years.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical 2,500 sq ft home takes 2–3 days for premium asphalt shingles, 4–6 days for standing-seam metal, and 7–10 days for slate or tile. We use dump trailers instead of roll-offs to keep driveways clear, perform daily magnetic nail sweeps, and coordinate material deliveries to minimize street congestion. Most homeowners can remain in the house throughout the project.
What warranties and maintenance programs do you provide?
Manufacturer warranties range from 30 years (designer asphalt) to limited lifetime (metal, slate, and tile). We add a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers labor and any leak-related interior damage. Annual maintenance plans include a spring inspection, debris removal, sealant touch-ups, and a written condition report to keep warranties valid and catch minor issues before they escalate.
Can premium roofing materials handle Morristown’s harsh winters?
Absolutely. Metal and slate roofs shed snow quickly, reducing ice-dam risk. Our tile systems are installed with snow-guard patterns that prevent abrupt snow slides. All assemblies include high-temp ice-and-water shield from eave to 24 in. past the warm wall, meeting New Jersey Residential Code R905. Ventilation is engineered to 1 sq ft of net free area per 150 sq ft of attic floor, preventing moisture buildup that can lead to rot or mold in cold weather.
