We have been doing roofing installation out of Garfield for 25+ years. Wayne is 7.6 miles north-west of the shop, in Passaic County — close enough that we are on these streets most weeks. Either way we still answer when you call about the job two winters later, which is the part that actually depends on being local.
A new roof is a system rather than a covering: decking, underlayment, ice and water membrane at the eaves and valleys, flashing at every junction, then the shingles or membrane, with intake and exhaust ventilation designed in from the start.
Passaic is really two counties. The southern cities are dense and old — turn-of-the-century multi-families and row homes packed close together. North of the reservoirs it turns rural, with lake houses and wooded lots that were often built as summer cottages and later winterised. New roofing usually has to meet something older — an addition tying into the existing roof, a dormer cut into it, a garage sitting alongside. The join is where these leak, so the flashing detail at that junction matters more than which shingle you choose.
The quote names the underlayment, the ventilation and the flashing rather than just the shingle and a colour. Permits and inspections are ours to arrange, and both the workmanship and manufacturer warranties are handed over on the day we finish.
