New Roof Installations

Why Quality Installation Matters

Whether building a new house or swapping out an old roof, doing things correctly from the start will save countless headaches and protect your pocket book. Proper installation is key for years of safety. Installing a new roof is more than just sticking on shingles. You need to prep the area properly—applying underlayment, ensuring good ventilation, installing flashing around chimneys & vents, and setting up a drainage system to efficiently direct water off the roof. These “little things”, if done improperly, will often turn into big problems down the road!

A poorly-installed roof can lead to pricey problems like leaks and high energy bills. We pride ourselves in following best practices to make sure every aspect of the installation is done according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Using the best practices in the industry, we will ensure that the job is done right while protecting your budget at the same time.

Reasons for a New Roof Installation

Here are some signs it might be time for a new roof:

Leaking Roof: If your roof keeps leaking even after fixing it many times, it might be replacement time.
Loose or Missing Shingles: Wind can damage shingles or blow them off—more than repairs might be needed.
Damaged Flashing: Flashing shields important areas like chimneys from water. If it’s ruined, serious water damage can happen.
Worn Pipe Collars & Vents: These protect openings in your roof from the weather. When worn out, they let water seep in.
Mold, Mildew, or Moss Growth: If your roof is retaining moisture and you are seeing mold, it probably needs replacing.
Collapsing Sections: Storms and/or age can cause sections of your roof to fall apart. This means you need a new install.
Aging Roof: Most quality roofs in NJ can last 20-30 years. If yours is that old, it’s time to think about getting a new one.
Deteriorating Roof Boards: Rotten or damaged boards weaken the whole structure and need full replacement.

At FB Roofing & Siding, we are very familiar with NJ and her crazy weather patterns! We will put a solid lid on New Jersey’s wild weather. We only use the highest quality materials from the most renowned manufacturers while implementing the best techniques and methods to keep your home protected for a long time.

Roof Types We Service:

Asphalt Roofing Shingles

Asphalt roofing shingles are totally one of the most common & favored roofing choices for homes. Made with either a fiberglass or an organic felt base, they’re coated with asphalt and topped off with mineral granules.

This makes them tough and able to stand up to the weather. You find two main types of asphalt shingles: three-tab shingles and those fancy architectural (or dimensional) ones.

You know why folks love asphalt shingles? Well, they’re pretty affordable and super easy to install! Plus, they come in all sorts of styles and colors. They’re built to handle harsh weather – be it rain, wind, or even hail.
They are great for keeping your home safe. They are fire resistant also! They shed water really well, and they are very low maintenance. Durable? You bet! They have great longevity. Many of these shingles come with warranties lasting 20 to 30 years, sometimes even more! They fit nicely with various home styles so if you’re after both function & good looks for your roof, asphalt shingles are a solid option.

Seamless Aluminum Metal Roofing

Seamless aluminum metal roofing stands out as a durable, long-lasting choice made from continuous sheets of aluminum that are custom-cut to fit the dimensions of a building’s roof. Unlike traditional roofing materials, which rely on multiple overlapping sections, seamless aluminum roofing eliminates the risk of leaks at the seams. This offers a watertight & weather-resistant solution.

One big advantage of seamless aluminum roofing is its durability. Aluminum is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. This makes it ideal for regions with harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and even salt exposure in coastal areas. Plus, it’s lightweight, so it doesn’t put too much stress on the building’s structure.

This kind of roofing is also energy-efficient. It reflects solar heat, which helps to cut down on cooling costs in warmer climates. Moreover, seamless aluminum roofing needs little maintenance and can last 50 years or more. It’s a long-term investment for homeowners & businesses looking for reliability and sustainability.

All in all, seamless aluminum metal roofing provides several significant benefits: it’s durable, resistant to harsh weather conditions, energy-efficient, and long-lasting with minimal maintenance. Whether for homes or commercial buildings, this roofing option delivers a robust and reliable solution.

Low Pitched Roofing

Low-pitched roofing, or a low-slope roof, has a gentle incline. Usually, it’s less than a 3:12 ratio. That means 3 inches of rise for every 12 inches of horizontal distance. You see this kind of roof on commercial buildings. Modern homes, too. Sometimes, certain architectural styles need it for a sleek look.

One big plus of low-pitched roofing? It’s less money! Because of the smaller surface area and simple design, you need fewer materials & usually less labor. Maintenance and repairs are easier too. Safer to work on because it’s flatter.

What do roof repairs usually involve? Well, things like fixing warped or worn-out shingles, changing out beat-up flashing, and sealing spots where water sneaks in. Skilled roofers can even spot hidden issues like damp spots or weak areas that might cause chaos later on.

Common Reasons for Roof Repairs

Roofs can get into all sorts of trouble. Here are some common problems:

Loose or Missing Shingles: Windy days can knock shingles loose or literally blow them away. That leaves gaps and causes leaks & water damage.
Cracked or Damaged Flashing: Flashing seals joints, but it wears out over time and lets water in.
Worn Pipe Collars and Vents: Small parts like these can wear down, causing leaks where pipes poke through the roof.
Leaks and Water Damage: Any leaks can lead to mold, rot & big-time structural issues if not fixed quickly.

Handling these problems early on stops them from becoming nightmares later. FB Roofing & Siding, does solid repair work using tough materials that match your current roof, giving you lasting protection.

Roof Replacements

When to Opt for a Full Roof Replacement

Sometimes patches just won’t cut it anymore. Roofs are not designed to last forever. Bad weather like snow, rain, and heavy winds, along with intense heat and UV rays from the summer sun will eventually deteriorate your roof. When – not if – this happens, it’s best to just replace the whole thing.

A full replacement means tearing off all the old stuff, checking the underlying structure for issues, and installing a shiny brand-new roof with modern materials built to last as long as possible. This way, you won’t worry every time it rains because your home will be snug as a bug.

Signs It’s Time for a Roof Replacement

Not sure if it’s time for a new roof? Look out for these signs:

Extensive Leaks: Many leaks or failed past repairs mean you probably need a new roof.
Widespread Shingle Damage: Lots of broken, curling, or missing shingles? That’s your cue!
Aging Roof: If your roof is 20-30 years old, it’s done its job & needs to be retired.
Deteriorating Roof Boards: Weak structure means repairs won’t cut it—time for safety comes first!
