When you decide to replace your roof in Middletown, you need a system that holds up against coastal humidity, rapid temperature shifts, and seasonal storms that roll through central New Jersey. Westgate Roofing installs complete residential roofing systems using shingles and materials that are manufactured to last, not just meet the minimum standard.

The installation process follows manufacturer specifications and local building codes, with licensed and insured crews handling every phase of the work. Whether you are building new construction or upgrading an older roof in Middletown, the installation includes proper ventilation layout, flashing around chimneys and skylights, and underlayment designed to shed water before it reaches the decking. These details determine how well your roof performs over the next two decades.

What happens during a complete roof replacement

Your crew removes the existing roof down to the decking, inspects for soft spots or rot, and makes structural repairs if needed. In Middletown, where older homes often have multiple roof layers or outdated flashing, the tear-off stage reveals issues that would otherwise go unnoticed until they cause interior damage.

Once the deck is ready, underlayment goes down first, followed by drip edge, valley metal, and step flashing around penetrations. Shingles are nailed according to the pattern required by the product warranty, and ridge vents are installed to support attic airflow. After the work is done, you will see a roof that sheds water cleanly, does not trap heat in the summer, and stays flat across the plane without lifting or curling.

The installation is designed for homes with steep pitches, dormers, and the mixed roof styles common to suburban New Jersey neighborhoods. If your home has a low-slope section or unusual geometry, the crew adjusts flashing and material choices to match the structure. This is not a one-size approach.

Here is what homeowners typically ask before starting

Most questions about residential roof installation come down to timing, material durability, and what happens if weather disrupts the schedule. These answers cover the practical concerns that come up before the work begins.

How long does a full roof installation take?
Most single-family homes in Middletown are completed in one to two days, depending on roof size and complexity. Weather delays can extend that timeline if conditions are unsafe for installation.
What type of shingles do you install?
Westgate Roofing uses architectural shingles rated for wind and impact resistance, selected based on your home's exposure and your preference for color and warranty length. The materials are chosen to handle New Jersey storm cycles without premature wear.
What happens if it rains during installation?
Your roof is covered with tarps or temporary protection at the end of each day and during any rain event. The crew does not install shingles or underlayment in wet conditions.
Will you handle the permit?
Yes, Westgate Roofing pulls the necessary building permits and schedules inspections as required by local code. You do not need to visit the municipal office.
What warranty comes with the installation?
You receive the manufacturer's material warranty and a separate workmanship warranty from Westgate Roofing. Both are provided in writing after the job is complete.
