Types of Roofing
At Njall Construction, our skilled roofing contractors are experienced in working with a diverse range of roofing materials, allowing you to select the ideal solution that suits both your home’s style and your specific needs.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing choice among New Jersey homeowners—and for good reason. They’re cost-effective, easy to install, and typically last around 20 years. Asphalt roofs require minimal maintenance, making them a practical option for busy homeowners. However, they may be more susceptible to damage from moisture, strong winds, and impact compared to more premium roofing materials.
Roofing Material Options for Your Home
At Njall Construction, we offer a wide range of roofing materials to suit every architectural style, performance need, and budget. Explore the features and benefits of each option to find the best fit for your home.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular due to their sleek appearance and exceptional durability. While the initial investment is higher than asphalt, metal roofing offers long-lasting performance—often exceeding 40 years—with minimal maintenance, making it a smart choice for homeowners seeking strength and longevity.
Wood Shingles or Shakes
Crafted from cedar or other high-quality wood, wood shingles (also known as wood shakes) offer a classic, rustic charm—especially ideal for historic or traditionally styled homes. Though they require more upkeep and carry a higher upfront cost, wood roofing provides natural insulation and a warm, timeless aesthetic that sets your home apart.
Tile Roofing
Clay tile roofing is a striking option commonly used on Mediterranean and Southwestern-style homes. Molded and kiln-fired from natural clay, these tiles offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, especially in warmer climates. With a potential lifespan of up to 50 years, tile roofing is both beautiful and long-lasting.
Slate Roofing
Slate roofing is renowned for its elegance and unparalleled durability. Made from natural stone, a well-installed slate roof can last 75 years or more with virtually no maintenance. While it is one of the most expensive roofing options, and not all structures can support its weight, it offers unmatched longevity and classic appeal.
Flat Roofing
For low-slope or flat roof homes, we install built-up roofing systems composed of multiple layers of asphalt, roofing felt, and insulation. These flat roofing systems are designed for high resistance to weather and foot traffic and are a durable solution for residential and commercial applications.
Membrane Roofing (Engineered Rubber & Plastic)
Membrane roofing is a modern alternative for flat or low-pitched roofs, utilizing advanced rubber or synthetic materials such as EPDM or TPO. These systems are lightweight, flexible, and easy to install, offering excellent waterproofing and energy efficiency with minimal maintenance.
Choosing the Right Roofing Material
When selecting the best roofing material for your home, consider asking yourself these key questions:
What is my budget for installation and long-term maintenance?
How long do I plan to live in the home?
What aesthetic or architectural style am I trying to achieve?
Our experienced roofing professionals at Njall Construction will guide you through every step of the decision-making process to ensure your new roof delivers beauty, performance, and lasting protection.
What Aesthetic Am I Trying to Achieve?
Your roof plays a significant role in your home’s overall curb appeal, so it’s important to choose a material that complements its architectural style. For example, clay tiles beautifully accent Mediterranean and Southwestern-style homes, while wood shingles enhance the charm of Craftsman-style properties. Standing seam metal roofs are a perfect match for modern farmhouses and contemporary designs.
If versatility is your priority, asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice—not only for their affordability but also for their wide range of colors and textures, allowing you to achieve the exact look you envision.
What’s My Budget for a Roof Replacement?
Your budget plays a major role in determining which roofing material is right for your home. Costs can vary significantly depending on the type of material, installation complexity, and long-term maintenance. To help make your investment more manageable, we offer 0% financing for up to 24 months—so you can get the roof you need without financial stress.
What Features Do I Want in My Roofing System?
Are you looking for energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, or fire resistance? Knowing what features matter most to you helps narrow your choices. Slate tiles, natural wood shingles, clay tiles, and metal roofing all offer excellent energy performance and are environmentally friendly. Plus, materials like slate, clay, and metal provide outstanding fire resistance, which may even help lower your insurance premiums and improve safety.
What Is the Expected Lifespan?
While all homeowners want a long-lasting roof, each material comes with its own expected lifespan. Asphalt shingles typically last around 20 years, while high-end options like slate can last 75 years or more. The key is finding the right balance between upfront cost and long-term durability.
