North Brunswick NJ Roof Replacement Project | Done Rite Roof Repair

Asphalt shingle roof replacement in North Brunswick, NJ included partial roof-deck replacement, new underlayment, architectural shingles, ridge work, and updated flashing.

Project Summary

Done Rite Roof Repair - Exteriors completed a scheduled full asphalt shingle roof replacement for an existing residential home in North Brunswick Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The project included partial roof-deck replacement, new synthetic underlayment, architectural asphalt shingles, ridge installation, and updated flashing around roof penetrations and vents.

The home is located in a wooded residential neighborhood. The roof had several sections and multiple penetrations, so the work required careful staging, safe access, detailed deck preparation, and coordinated flashing work around plumbing vents, exhaust components, and ventilation features.

Roofing Problem Found

The existing shingles were aged and worn and had reached the point where replacement was appropriate. After the old roofing was removed, sections of the plywood roof sheathing were found to be deteriorated. The affected areas were replaced before the new roofing system was installed.

The supplied project information indicates that localized water intrusion may have contributed to deterioration around some deck sections and penetration areas. The photos do not establish hail damage or a major structural failure; the primary visible issues were age-related shingle wear, localized deck deterioration, and vulnerable flashing details.

Work Completed

Removed the existing asphalt shingles and old roofing materials.
Inspected the roof deck after tear-off.
Removed damaged plywood roof sheathing and installed new exterior-grade plywood where required.
Installed STINGER EXO25 synthetic roofing underlayment over the prepared deck.
Installed GAF Timberline HDZ architectural asphalt shingles across the replaced roof sections.
Installed matching asphalt ridge-cap shingles.
Integrated plumbing vents, exhaust penetrations, and existing ventilation components into the new roofing system.
Reflashed and sealed roof penetrations and vent areas.
Completed edge, drip-edge, and transition details around the multi-section roof.
Cleaned up the work areas after the reroofing work was completed.

Materials Used

Shingles: GAF Timberline HDZ architectural asphalt shingles.
Shingle appearance: Light tan/brown blend; the exact manufacturer color name is not confirmed from the photos.
Underlayment: STINGER EXO25 synthetic roofing underlayment.
Decking: Exterior-grade plywood roof sheathing for partial replacement areas.
Ridge: Matching asphalt ridge-cap shingles.
Flashing: Metal pipe and penetration flashing, sealant, drip-edge components, and related roofing accessories.

Project Result

The deteriorated roofing system was replaced with a new architectural shingle system. Damaged plywood sections were corrected, synthetic underlayment was installed, and the roof received new shingles, ridge caps, and penetration-flashing details. The completed photos show a uniform light tan/brown roof appearance across the main slopes and adjoining roof sections.

The supplied information places the project in September 2026 and estimates the roof at approximately 2,000–3,000 square feet. That size is a visual estimate only. No customer name, house number, or other identifying property information is included in this project report.

Roof Replacement FAQs

What type of roof replacement was completed in North Brunswick?

This was a complete asphalt shingle roof replacement on an existing residential home. The roof included multiple pitched sections with gable and hip-style transitions.

Why did the project require plywood roof-deck replacement?

Some plywood roof sheathing was deteriorated after the old shingles were removed. Those localized sections were replaced so the new underlayment and shingles could be installed over a sound, prepared surface.

What shingles were installed?

The project information identifies GAF Timberline HDZ architectural asphalt shingles. The finished roof appears light tan or brown, but the exact color name cannot be confirmed from the supplied photos.

Was new underlayment installed?

Yes. The work included STINGER EXO25 synthetic roofing underlayment installed over the prepared roof deck before the new shingles were placed.

Were roof vents and penetrations addressed?

Yes. The work included flashing and sealing around plumbing vent pipes, larger exhaust or flue penetrations, roof vents, ridge areas, and other transitions visible in the project photos.

Was this an emergency roof repair?

No. The project information describes a scheduled full roof replacement rather than an emergency response. The primary reasons were worn shingles, localized deck deterioration, and the need to renew vulnerable flashing areas.
