What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and photographs of the stain and the roof from the ground before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture.
- Find the roof's paperworkThe year it went on, who installed it, and any warranty papers or manufacturer registration. On a roof under fifteen or so years old, that one envelope can decide who should be fixing it.
- Note where and when it leaksWhich room, and whether it shows in every rain, only in wind, or only after snow. A stain that appears after snow is usually ice at the eaves, not a hole.
- Ask for both warranties in writingBefore you sign for a repair or a new roof, ask which manufacturer warranty comes with it, what it requires, and how long the roofer's own workmanship guarantee runs.

Call (908) 503-0136Note 01Is a 50 year roof warranty worth it?
It can be, if you know what the 50 years covers. Published guides describe the strongest version as a full-system, non-prorated manufacturer warranty available only through installers the manufacturer has certified, and one leading shingle maker limits its lifetime warranty to single-family detached homes owned by individuals. The price is in the scope: a New Jersey roofer put a complete system with a 50-year warranty and a full redeck at $14 to $18 per square foot of roof. And it covers the materials, not how they were installed, so ask the roofer's own workmanship term too.
Note 02What is a typical warranty on a roof?
Two of them. The manufacturer's covers the materials; the contractor's workmanship warranty covers the installation. A guide to Cranford roofers advises a manufacturer warranty of 30 years or more on shingles and a workmanship warranty of five years or more, and treats less as a reason for caution. Terms published for repair work in Cranford run shorter, two years on one roofer's repairs. Whatever the numbers, both belong on the quote in writing.
Note 03What is the average cost of a roof replacement in NJ?
Published 2026 figures put most New Jersey replacements at $9,000 to $40,000 or more, and most North Jersey asphalt roofs on single-family homes at $9,000 to $25,000. Closer to home, a Union County guide puts architectural shingle on an 1,800 to 2,200 square foot home at $11,000 to $18,500, and a roofer serving Cranford publishes $10,000 to $20,000 or more. Size, pitch, layers and the warranty level move it, so yours is a written quote once the roof has been seen.
Note 04Is $30,000 too much for a roof?
For a typical Union County house in architectural shingle it is well above the published $11,000 to $18,500. For a large or steep roof with a full redeck and a 50-year system warranty it may not be: at the $14 to $18 per square foot a New Jersey roofer gave for that scope, 2,000 square feet of roof comes to $28,000 to $36,000. Ask which warranty level and how much decking the number includes. The total alone tells you little; the itemized lines tell you a lot.
