Whiting NJ Roof Replacement Project | Done Rite Roof Repair

Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Whiting, NJ included extensive roof-deck replacement, new underlayment, leak protection, shingles, and flashing work.

Project Summary

Done Rite Roof Repair - Exteriors completed a scheduled full asphalt shingle roof replacement for an existing residential home in Whiting, a section of Manchester Township in Ocean County, New Jersey. The project involved a large multi-section pitched roof with gable and hip areas, extensive plywood roof-deck replacement, new synthetic underlayment, leak-protection membrane in vulnerable areas, architectural shingles, ridge work, skylight detailing, vent work, and chimney flashing.

The home is located in a residential community surrounded by mature trees. The roof included several interconnected slopes, valleys, roof intersections, skylights, chimneys, vents, and other penetrations that required careful sequencing and waterproofing.

Roofing Problem Found

The existing roofing system was aged and ready for replacement. The old asphalt shingles had deteriorated through normal weather exposure, and significant portions of the roof deck required new plywood sheathing. Localized water damage may have been present beneath the old roofing, particularly near vulnerable transitions and penetration areas.

The supplied project information does not confirm a specific active leak. The photos do not show obvious hail damage or major structural framing failure. The visible scope is consistent with an aged roofing system, deteriorated or unsuitable decking, and the need to renew waterproofing around skylights, vents, chimneys, valleys, and roof intersections.

Stripped the roof down to the wood deck for inspection and preparation.

Materials Used

Shingles: GAF Timberline HDZ architectural asphalt shingles.
Color: Biscayne Blue, producing a distinctive blue-gray architectural appearance.
Underlayment: STINGER EXO25 synthetic roofing underlayment.
Decking: Exterior-grade plywood roof sheathing.
Leak protection: Self-adhering waterproof membrane in vulnerable areas.
Ridge and hip work: Matching asphalt ridge-cap shingles.
Flashing: Metal flashing, pipe boots, sealant, drip-edge components, and accessories for skylights, chimneys, vents, and penetrations.

Project Result

The old roofing system was fully replaced and the roof deck was substantially renewed across the affected sections. The completed home received a new waterproof underlayment system, GAF Timberline HDZ shingles, matching hip and ridge caps, and updated flashing around the roof details most likely to require careful waterproofing.

The final photos show a clean and consistent Biscayne Blue roof installation that complements the home’s light siding and trim. The supplied project information estimates the work took place during summer 2026 and places the roof at approximately 2,500–3,500 square feet; that size is a visual estimate only.
