Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement Project in Jersey City, NJ
Project Summary
Done Rite Roof Repair completed a scheduled full asphalt shingle roof replacement for an existing multifamily residential building in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey. The project involved a steep-slope hip roof, substantial plywood roof-deck work, synthetic underlayment, new architectural shingles, ridge detailing, and flashing around multiple roof penetrations.
The work was completed in an urban neighborhood with adjacent multifamily buildings, nearby commercial development, overhead utility lines, limited staging space, and difficult elevated roof access.
Roofing Problem Found
The existing asphalt shingle roof was aged and worn. During the tear-off, the crew exposed weathered and deteriorated plywood roof sheathing. Several deck sections required replacement before the new roofing system could be installed.
The roof also included multiple plumbing vents, exhaust penetrations, attic ventilation components, ridge areas, and perimeter transitions that required careful waterproofing and flashing. The visible conditions support age-related deterioration as the primary reason for replacement; the photos do not establish hail damage or a single storm event.
Work Completed
- Removed the existing asphalt shingles, underlayment, and roofing debris.
- Stripped the hip roof to the wood deck.
- Removed deteriorated plywood sheathing and installed new exterior-grade plywood where required.
- Installed synthetic roofing underlayment over the prepared deck.
- Installed new architectural asphalt shingles across the roof slopes.
- Completed matching ridge-cap shingle work.
- Flashed and sealed plumbing vent penetrations and the large metal exhaust/flue penetration.
- Integrated existing roof vents and ventilation components into the new roofing system.
- Installed or renewed perimeter metal flashing and drip-edge treatment.
- Completed the work around multiple roof penetrations and restricted urban access conditions.
Materials Used
- Owens Corning Duration architectural asphalt shingles, based on the visible product packaging.
- Brown or Teak-style shingle blend, based on the completed roof photos.
- Synthetic roofing underlayment.
- Exterior-grade plywood roof sheathing.
- Matching asphalt ridge-cap shingles.
- Drip edge, metal flashing, pipe flashing, roofing nails, sealant, and flashing accessories.
The exact shingle color and final product specification should be confirmed against the project invoice or material order before being treated as definitive.
