About NJ Roof Installer • NJ HIC #13VH09842100

Protecting New Jersey Homes
With Precision And
Pride Since 1999

NJ Roof Installer has spent over 25 years protecting Garden State homes across all 21 New Jersey counties. Licensed under NJ HIC #13VH09842100, fully bonded, and carrying $2 million in general liability insurance, we have completed thousands of residential and commercial roofing projects since 1999.

As a top-rated, highly skilled New Jersey roofing company, we offer industry-leading protection and premium roofing materials. We back our complete roof replacements with extensive long-term warranties that guarantee both manufacturer material reliability and our own expert workmanship. Our focus is always on delivering a permanent, weatherproof shield for your property.

Every project begins with our proprietary 21-Point 4K Drone Aerial Survey — a non-destructive, zero-foot-traffic inspection that captures high-resolution imagery of every ridge cap, valley flashing, pipe boot, and drip edge. Our FLIR thermal infrared attic moisture mapping detects hidden leaks invisible to the naked eye, and our triple-pass magnetic lawn clean-up sweeps ensure zero nails are left behind.

We handle 100% of municipal permit paperwork under N.J.A.C. 5:23 Uniform Construction Code across New Jersey. Every installation includes mandatory dual-layer self-adhering ice & water barriers (IRC R905.1.2) extending 24 inches inside the heated wall line, Cobra® balanced ridge ventilation, and engineering rated for 75–90+ MPH Atlantic Nor'easter wind uplift.

Homeowner · Cherry Hill, NJ
Solid, Reliable, And Perfectly Delivered With Dedication. After a storm damaged our roof, NJ Roof Installer was out with a 4K drone survey within hours. They turned a stressful emergency into a smooth, organized, hassle-free replacement. The workmanship and genuine care were outstanding.

Residential Property Owner · Morristown, NJ
Replacing our 30-year-old historic roof required true master craftsmen. The team respected our architecture, installed premium GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles with full UCC permit approval, and provided a deeded 50-year transferable warranty. Transparent pricing with zero surprise charges.

Property Owner · Toms River, NJ
We had persistent roof leaks and ice damming during coastal Jersey winters. NJ Roof Installer re-engineered our continuous ridge ventilation and installed commercial-grade ice & water shield barriers. Our home remained bone-dry through two major storms. Outstanding communication and quality!

Can You Put a New Roof Over an Old One in NJ? Code Requirements

What is a Roof Overlay?

A roof overlay involves installing new shingles directly over the existing ones, skipping the tear-off process. While this saves on labor and disposal costs, it comes with significant drawbacks.

New Jersey Building Code Limits

Under the NJ Uniform Construction Code, you are generally allowed a maximum of two roofing layers. If your home already has two layers of shingles, a complete tear-off is legally required before a new roof can be installed.

Why Tear-Offs are Better

An overlay prevents the installer from inspecting the wooden roof deck for rot or water damage. Furthermore, the added weight of a second layer puts extra stress on your home's structural framing and can trap heat, reducing the lifespan of the new shingles.

At NJ Roof Installer, we highly recommend full tear-offs to guarantee a secure, code-compliant installation that will last for decades.
