Shingle Roof Replacement in Dundee: what actually fails

Very little shingle by the river -- the workers' housing that has it is the exception among industrial buildings. Where it exists it is usually old, often overlaid once, and the useful first question is the layer count rather than the product.

Architectural shingle installs at $5.50 to $8.00 per square foot in New Jersey and three-tab at $4.50 to $6.50. That gap is a few thousand dollars on an average roof and it is the clearest case of a cheaper quote being a lesser roof rather than a better price.

  • Roof area, because it is priced per square foot at this scale
  • Every curb, duct and rooftop unit on the roof
  • Perimeter fixing, given the exposure by the water
  • Whether production below can continue during the work

What it costs

Shingle roof replacement cost in Dundee

Three-tab installs at $4.50 to $6.50 per square foot in New Jersey and architectural at $5.50 to $8.00. The local complication is that a pitched slope in this city is frequently a street-facing section in front of a much larger flat roof, so 'the roof' is often two systems and two prices. Priced per square foot rather than as a building, because the roofs here are mill-scale. What moves it is the plant on top and whether production below can continue -- and exposure by the water, which puts perimeter fixing on the list.

01

Two systems on one building

A quote that prices the whole roof as shingle has not been up there. The pitch and the flat behind it fail on different clocks and need different products, and the transition between them is the detail that decides both.

02

Where there are real eaves, they cost the most

Freeze and thaw drives water back up under the courses in the first three feet, which is what an ice barrier exists to stop. Its coverage is a measurable line on a scope. On a parapet roof there is no eaves at all, which is why this only applies in parts of the city.

03

Layer count is a hard ceiling

Two coverings is the practical limit, so a cheap overlay price on a twice-covered roof is not a price. It takes two minutes to check at the rake edge.

Buildings in Dundee

Roofs in Dundee, and what that means for shingle roof replacement

Dundee is where the large-area low-slope roofs are. A mill-era building carries a roof measured in tens of thousands of square feet with plant, curbs and ducting on it, and on those the membrane is the smaller half of the cost. Exposure by the water is the other factor: perimeter fixing matters more here than inland.

Before you compare quotes

In this city the roof is the cheaper half of the problem

Two things move a Passaic price more than the covering does, and both are consequences of density rather than of roofing.

01

Is the way onto the roof through the building

On a mixed-use frontage it usually is, and that changes everything: whose keys, whose hours, and what has to be protected underneath. This is the single most common reason a start date slips in this city, and it is entirely avoidable by asking first.

02

Then the parapet, not the field

An attached building has no eaves. Water leaves through an internal outlet or a scupper cut through a parapet wall, so the failures are at the coping, the upstand and the outlet. A roof quote covering the field and silent on those has priced the easy part.

03

And in a freeze, drainage is the whole game

A blocked outlet ponds the roof instead of overflowing off an edge. Water standing in a lap through a cold week expands and lifts it, then thaws and runs in through the gap it just made. Outlet capacity is the cheapest genuine upgrade on a roof here.

Questions

Before you book shingle roof replacement

The questions that decide this job, answered up front.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

The front of my building is pitched but the back is flat. One quote?

Two, properly. They are different systems with different lives and different prices, and a single figure for 'the roof' nearly always means one of them was estimated rather than priced. The transition between them is the detail that decides both.

Architectural or three-tab?

Architectural on a building you intend to keep: $5.50 to $8.00 per square foot against $4.50 to $6.50, heavier, better in wind and longer-lived. Three-tab is defensible on a small front slope or a building being sold shortly.

My flat roof leaks but the middle looks fine. Where is it?

At an edge, almost certainly. An attached building has no eaves, so water leaves through an internal outlet or a scupper through the parapet -- and the failures are at the coping on top of the wall, at the upstand where the membrane turns up it, or at the outlet itself. The field is usually the last thing wrong with a roof here.

What is the difference between a rubber roof and TPO?

Rubber means EPDM, at $5 to $9 per square foot: bonded with adhesive and tape, black, and the least expensive single-ply. TPO is $6 to $12, welded at the seams and reflective, which matters on a large roof over occupied space. On a small rear addition EPDM is usually the right answer rather than the cheap one.

How long will the work take?

Two to five days on a house, four to seven on an apartment building, and one to three weeks on real commercial work. The roofing is rarely the long part: the street arrangement, the route onto the roof and any tenant notice periods are what set the start date in this city.
