Step 1: Roof Inspection & Estimate

Our team begins with a thorough inspection, checking:

  • Shingles and flashing
  • Underlayment and decking
  • Attic ventilation
  • Leaks, mold, or structural damage

We review material options like asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and more, providing a detailed written estimate including:

  • Labor and materials
  • Timeline
  • Warranties
  • Photos of existing damage (great for insurance claims)

Step 2: Choosing the Right Roofing Material

Every roof is unique. We help you select the best material based on:

  • Budget
  • Home style and curb appeal
  • NJ weather resistance (especially near the coast)
  • Expected lifespan and warranties

Popular NJ options:

  • Architectural asphalt shingles: Affordable and durable
  • Metal roofing: Energy-efficient, long-lasting
  • Synthetic slate: Premium look, lighter weight

Step 3: Preparing for Installation

Before installation, we:

  • Schedule a convenient date
  • Secure all necessary permits
  • Review HOA or zoning requirements
  • Plan dumpster delivery and material staging

You should:

  • Move vehicles away from the driveway
  • Cover attic valuables
  • Remove outdoor furniture or fragile décor
  • Keep pets and children indoors

Step 4: Roof Removal & Tear-Off

On installation day, our licensed crew:

  • Removes old shingles, underlayment, and flashing
  • Disposes of debris in on-site containers
  • Inspects decking for damage or rot

If wood sheathing is compromised, we replace it to ensure a strong foundation for your new roof.


Step 5: Installing the New Roof

Depending on material, weather, and size, installation typically takes 1–3 days.

Installation includes:

  • Ice and water shield along eaves and valleys
  • Underlayment for waterproofing
  • Drip edge and flashing
  • New shingles or panels, securely fastened
  • Ridge vent or other ventilation

All work follows NJ building codes and manufacturer guidelines to maintain warranties.


Step 6: Cleanup & Final Inspection

After installation, we:

  • Remove debris and leftover materials
  • Use magnetic rollers to pick up nails
  • Clean gutters and walkways
  • Haul away dumpster and unused supplies

A final inspection ensures your new roof meets our standards—and yours. You’ll receive:

  • Completion certificate
  • Warranty paperwork
  • Maintenance tips to extend your roof’s life

Step 7: Post-Installation Support

Splendor Roofing and Chimney stands behind every job:

  • Manufacturer warranties (20–50+ years depending on material)
  • Company-backed workmanship warranties
  • Responsive customer service
  • Optional seasonal maintenance
