This Summit homeowner had been dealing with recurring roof leaks for years, patching problems as they arose. After our comprehensive inspection revealed widespread shingle deterioration, damaged underlayment, and compromised decking in several areas, it was clear that the 25-year-old roof had reached the end of its serviceable life. A full roof replacement was the most cost-effective and reliable solution.
Our team performed a complete tear-off of the existing roof down to the decking, replacing any damaged plywood and ensuring a solid foundation for the new roofing system. We installed a premium synthetic underlayment for superior moisture protection, followed by high-quality architectural shingles with a 30-year manufacturer warranty. All flashing was replaced with new step flashing and counter-flashing at every chimney, wall, and penetration point. We also upgraded the ridge vent to improve attic ventilation — a critical detail that extends the life of the new roof and improves energy efficiency.
The complete transformation took just three days from start to finish, including thorough cleanup using magnetic sweepers to collect any stray nails. This Summit home now has a beautiful, modern roof system that will provide decades of reliable protection against Northern New Jersey’s weather extremes. Homeowners throughout West Orange, Chatham, and Livingston choose Everest Construction Solution for full roof replacements because we deliver premium results with minimal disruption to your daily life.
