The Manasquan replacement spec
A roof replacement in Manasquan means a full tear-off down to the deck and a rebuild sized for open-ocean exposure — 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six-nail fastening, sealed starter courses, and corrosion-resistant edge metal, with the Borough permit and inspections handled by us. Most homes are done in a single day, and typical projects run $8,500–$18,000 depending on size, pitch, buried layers, and how close you sit to the water.
Every roof gets the same build regardless of which part of the borough it is on:
| Layer | What goes down | Why it matters in Manasquan |
|---|---|---|
| Deck | Rotten plywood swapped on the spot | Old Main Street homes hide soft sheathing under layered roofs |
| Waterproofing | Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, penetrations | Wind-driven rain finds every weak flashing off the ocean |
| Underlayment | Synthetic across the full deck — never felt | Holds up when the shingles are open during a fast install |
| Shingles | 130 mph architectural, six-nail fastened | Edge and ridge uplift several times each winter |
| Metal | Corrosion-resistant drip edge and flashing | Salt eats builder-grade aluminum years early |
How a one-day install runs
We stage the driveway early, tear the old roof off the beach-block or in-town home in a morning, and inspect the deck before anything covers it. Ice & water shield and synthetic underlayment go down, then the shingles, ridge venting matched to your attic intake, and new flashing at every chimney, wall, and pipe — we never reuse tired flashing on a salt-side home. We finish with a magnetic nail sweep of the lawn and driveway and haul the debris the same day, so no dumpster sits on your block for a week. We document the whole job with drone photography, so you see exactly what came off and what went on.
