AFTER SERVICE / ROOFING
Roofing
Roofs that don't leak.
Landstar handles tear-off, replacement, and repair on shingle and flat roofs across New Jersey, installing manufacturer-backed roofing systems. Licensed and insured.
02 / THE SHORT ANSWER
Landstar replaces and repairs asphalt-shingle and flat roofs across New Jersey, licensed (NJ HIC #13VH10791700) and insured, with a free inspection and a written estimate the same day. Most New Jersey asphalt-shingle roof replacements run roughly $8,000 to $18,000, depending on the home's size, roof pitch, and how many old layers come off.
03 / WHAT WE DO
Roofing is what we started doing in 2018, and it’s still the bulk of the schedule. Most calls come in one of two flavors: a slow leak that’s been ignored for a winter, or a hailstorm that took out half the block. Either way, the first thing we do is get up there and look.
Landstar doesn’t sell systems we wouldn’t put on our own houses. That means GAF Timberline HDZ on most jobs, ice-and-water at every valley and eave, and a balanced ridge-soffit ventilation setup so the deck doesn’t cook in summer. If your attic isn’t venting right, the best shingle on the market will still fail at year twelve.
Every roof we tear off, we walk it twice, once before the dumpster goes, once after the cleanup. Magnet over the lawn, around the cars, down the driveway. You shouldn’t be finding nails in your tires three weeks later.

07 / COMMON QUESTIONS
Roofing questions.
- How much does a new roof cost in New Jersey?
- Most New Jersey asphalt-shingle roof replacements run roughly $8,000 to $18,000 for an average single-family home, depending on size, roof pitch, how many old layers come off, and whether any decking needs replacing. Standing-seam metal and slate cost more. Landstar gives you an exact written price after a free inspection, never a number over the phone.
- How long does a re-roof take?
- On a typical 2,000–2,500 sq ft single-family roof, plan on 8–10 working days from material drop to magnet sweep. Weather adds days, never crew shortages.
- What roofing materials do you install?
- We install GAF, CertainTeed, and IKO asphalt shingle systems, plus EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen on flat sections. Material and workmanship warranties are project-specific and provided in writing with the contract.
- What does the labor warranty cover?
- Workmanship, flashing, nailing, ventilation, anything install-related. Material is covered separately by the manufacturer. Both warranties are project-specific and provided in writing with the contract.
- Do you do flat roofs?
Yes, EPDM rubber, TPO, and modified bitumen, tied into the shingled roof with proper step flashing so the seam doesn't become the leak. The Landstar flat-roof service page covers membrane choice, deck prep, and tapered insulation in full detail.
