Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Essex County, NJ

Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material in Essex County for good reason: they deliver reliable protection at a price point that fits most budgets, and modern architectural shingles offer dramatic visual improvements over the flat three-tab designs of previous decades. At R&E Roofing, we work with leading manufacturers including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, giving you access to a wide selection of premium shingle lines and warranty options.

Today's premium architectural shingles feature dimensional profiles that mimic the look of natural slate or cedar shake at a fraction of the cost. They come with algae-resistant granules that keep your roof looking clean for years, impact-resistant options that earn insurance discounts in hail-prone areas, and wind ratings up to 130 mph that stand up to New Jersey nor'easters.

Proper installation is what separates a shingle roof that performs for 30 years from one that fails in 10. We follow manufacturer-specified nailing patterns, use the correct starter strips and hip-and-ridge components, and install continuous ridge ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and premature aging. Every detail matters, from the overhang at the drip edge to the step flashing at each wall intersection.

Color and style selection is an important part of the process. We bring full-size sample boards to your home so you can see how different options look against your siding, trim, and surroundings in natural light. Our design consultation helps you choose a combination that enhances your home's curb appeal and complements the neighborhood aesthetic.
