New Roof Installation in Essex County, NJ

Building a new home, adding a room, or constructing a garage or accessory building requires a roofing system designed and installed from scratch. Unlike replacement projects where an existing roof provides a template, new roof installations demand careful planning of structural support, ventilation design, material selection, and integration with the building envelope from the ground up. R&E Roofing works with homeowners, builders, and architects to deliver new roof systems that perform flawlessly from day one.

Our involvement ideally begins during the design phase, where we can contribute roofing expertise that influences structural framing specifications, roof pitch decisions, ventilation planning, and material compatibility. A roof that is designed with installation in mind avoids the compromises and complications that arise when roofing is treated as an afterthought in the building process.

For new construction homes, we install complete roofing systems that include sheathing inspection and approval, waterproof underlayment, ice and water shield in all required areas, primary roofing material, ventilation components (ridge vents, soffit vents, gable vents), and all flashing at walls, penetrations, and transitions. Every component is coordinated to work as an integrated system rather than a collection of individual products.

We bring the same systematic approach to additions and detached structures. Tying a new roof into an existing structure requires particular expertise at the transition points where old meets new. Improper transitions are a leading source of leaks in addition projects, and our experience ensures these critical connections are engineered correctly. We coordinate with general contractors and framers to ensure the roof structure is ready for our materials before we arrive.
