Most residential roof installations take 1–3 days, depending on roof size, material, and weather conditions. Proper decking, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation must be completed for long-term performance. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we emphasize clean job sites and respectful, on-time service throughout the installation process.What's the difference between a roof repair and replacement?
Roof repairs address isolated damage like missing shingles, flashing issues, or storm punctures, while replacements involve complete tear-offs and new installations. Repairs are ideal for aging roofs with localized problems. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we perform thorough inspections to recommend the most cost-effective solution for your Hamilton home.Do asphalt shingles hold up well in New Jersey weather?
Yes, asphalt shingles perform well in NJ's seasonal temperature swings and storms when properly installed with quality underlayment and ventilation. We tailor roof designs to handle the region's varied climate, including heavy rains and winter freezes. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, our installations meet or exceed manufacturer specifications for durability.What causes most roof leaks in older homes?
Most leaks stem from worn flashing around chimneys and vents, missing or cracked shingles, and deteriorated underlayment. Aging roofs in Hamilton and Lawrence Township often develop these issues after 15–20 years. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we inspect thoroughly to identify and repair the root cause before it spreads.How does proper ventilation affect roof lifespan?
Adequate ventilation prevents heat and moisture buildup in the attic, which can warp decking and shorten shingle life by years. Without it, roofs in Hamilton's humid summers may suffer premature aging. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we ensure balanced intake and exhaust ventilation during every installation for maximum performance.What's included in a lifetime shingles guarantee?
A lifetime shingles guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects for the life of the original homeowner, ensuring material integrity against cracking, blistering, and granule loss. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we also offer a 10-year labor guarantee, so both materials and workmanship are protected for Hamilton homeowners.When should you schedule a roof inspection?
Homeowners should schedule inspections after major storms, before buying or selling a home, and every 2–3 years for preventive maintenance. Early detection of damage prevents costly repairs down the line. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we provide free, no-obligation inspections for residents across Hamilton and Mercer County.Can you install gutters during a roof replacement?
Yes, coordinating gutter installation with a roof replacement ensures proper integration, optimal drainage slope, and matching aesthetics. This approach is efficient and protects your foundation during the roofing process. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we often bundle these services for homeowners in Ewing, Bordentown, and Yardley.What affects the cost of a roof replacement?
Roof size, material choice, pitch complexity, decking condition, and removal of old layers all influence replacement cost. Premium materials like metal or architectural shingles cost more but offer longer lifespans. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we provide honest pricing and free quotes tailored to your Hamilton home's specific needs.How do seamless gutters prevent leaks better than sectional?
Seamless gutters are custom-fabricated on-site with no joints along straight runs, eliminating common leak points found in sectional systems. This design handles heavy NJ and PA rains more reliably. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we install seamless aluminum and copper gutters sized for effective drainage and long-term performance.What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with storm damage?
Delaying inspection and repairs allows minor storm damage to escalate into structural issues, mold growth, and higher costs. Many homeowners underestimate hidden damage to flashing and underlayment. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, we offer emergency repair service and insurance claim assistance to address problems quickly after severe weather.Why is Lead Safe Certification important for roofing work?
Lead Safe Certification through the EPA ensures contractors follow strict protocols when working on homes built before 1978, protecting families from lead dust exposure during exterior renovations. This is especially critical during siding and window work. At Unique Roofing & Restoration, our certified team prioritizes safety and compliance on every Hamilton project.
