Garage Roof Replacement – Architectural Shingles
Project Overview
Full garage roof replacement on a residential property in Hackensack, NJ. The detached two-car garage roof had failed shingles, damaged decking, and was causing water to pool in the garage. Duraproof performed a complete tear-off and installed new architectural shingles with proper ventilation and drip edge.
Analysis
The garage roof shingles were original to the home and well past their 20-year lifespan. Multiple shingles had blown off in a winter storm, and the remaining ones were brittle and crumbling. Water was entering through multiple spots, causing damage to stored items inside. A full replacement was clearly necessary.
Process
Day 1: Tear-off and deck repair. Day 2: Underlayment and shingles. Job completed in 2 days with full site clean-up.
Outcome
The garage now has a fully weatherproof new roof with charcoal architectural shingles matching the main house. The homeowner has a dry, protected storage space with a 30-year shingle warranty.
