Roof Repair in New Jersey
Green Apple Roofing provides roof repair in New Jersey for homes with leaking and damaged roofs, from our office in Ocean Township. We fix missing and lifted shingles, failed flashing at walls and skylights, cracked pipe boots and worn roof edges. Call (201) 681-0060 for same-day response, or use our 24-hour emergency line.
Repair the cause, not the stain.
A proper roof repair finds the entry point on the roof, fixes it, and checks the roof around it for the same wear. We repair roofs across Monmouth and Ocean counties and all of New Jersey, including Ocean Township, Tinton Falls and Toms River.
Repair makes sense when the damage is local and the rest of the roof is sound. When leaks keep returning in different places, or shingles are failing across whole slopes, roof replacement is the conversation to have; these are the signs a roof is past repair.
One code rule, N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4 (as of October 2026), settles some jobs outright. In New Jersey, the existing roof covering must be removed before a new one goes on when it is water-soaked or has deteriorated to the point that it is not adequate as a base for additional roofing, when it is wood shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile, or when it already has two or more layers. Read N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4. This is general information, not legal advice; your local construction office has the final word.
Timing matters. Nor'easters hit New Jersey most often between October and April; the State Climatologist notes that rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm.

The repairs New Jersey roofs actually need.
Residential repairs on asphalt shingle, metal, tile and flat roofs. Tell us what you see and where.
Shingle Repair
Missing, lifted or cracked shingles replaced and sealed down.
Flashing Repair
Wall and valley flashing reset or replaced where it has pulled away or rusted through: the metal joints where a roof meets anything vertical.
Pipe Boots, Vents & Skylights
Cracked rubber pipe boots, loose vent flashing and leaking skylight curbs. Small parts that let water straight onto the deck.
Flat, Metal & Tile Sections
Low-slope porches and additions, metal panels and tile on homes, repaired to suit the system already on the roof.
What a proper roof repair covers.
Same-day response
Call (201) 681-0060 for same-day response, or use our 24-hour emergency line.
Flashing fixed, not caulked over (code as of October 2026)
Code requires flashing wherever a roof meets a wall, wherever the slope or direction changes, and around roof openings. Failed flashing is reset or replaced.
Edges built to code (as of October 2026)
The residential code requires drip edge at the eaves and rakes of shingle roofs, so an edge repair puts it back.
Ice and water protection (code as of October 2026)
New Jersey's code requires an ice barrier only where the average daily temperature in January is 25°F or less; the state says that is Sussex County. Elsewhere the code does not require it, so ask whether the estimate includes ice and water protection along the eaves.
The layer rule (N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4, as of October 2026)
In New Jersey, the existing roof covering must be removed before a new one goes on when it is water-soaked or has deteriorated to the point that it is not adequate as a base for additional roofing, when it is wood shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile, or when it already has two or more layers.
