Even a few missing shingles expose your roof deck to New Jersey rain, snow, and ice. The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes.
Missing or cracked shingles are the most common roof issue we see in Bergen County — and the most underestimated. What looks like a minor cosmetic problem is actually an open wound in your home's waterproofing layer.
A single missing shingle exposes the felt underlayment — which is not designed for long-term water exposure. NJ averages 47 inches of annual rainfall.
Missing shingles create ideal conditions for ice dams in winter. Water backs up under the remaining shingles and freezes, prying them off.
Open gaps allow wind-driven debris, leaves, and pests to enter the roof deck and attic space.
Once water reaches the plywood decking, rot begins. Deck replacement adds $2–$4 per square foot to repair costs.
B&T's inspection process covers the full roof — not just the visible damage. We document:
We match replacement shingles as closely as possible to your existing roof. In many cases, shingle repairs are done same-day.
NJ roofing code requires that repaired areas match existing materials and that the underlying deck is in sound condition. A contractor who replaces shingles without inspecting the deck is doing you a disservice — and the repair won't hold through the next storm season.
Our team serves all of Bergen County. Most inspections are available within 24–48 hours.
"After the nor'easter last March, I had three quotes. B&T were the only ones who came out same day, gave me a written estimate, and didn't try to upsell me. Roof looks perfect and passed inspection first try."
"My 22-year-old roof was showing its age. B&T did a complete inspection, explained every issue in plain English, and helped me file my insurance claim. The whole job was done in one day — couldn't be happier."
"We had mold from a hidden roof leak. B&T found the source in 20 minutes — something two other contractors missed. Fair price, fast work, and they followed up a week later to make sure everything was dry."
