SERVICE DETAILS
Full Roof Replacement in Bridgewater, NJ
A complete tear-off roof replacement, planned around your deck condition and roofing material, for homeowners across Bridgewater and Somerset County.
OVERVIEW
Every layer removed, inspected, and rebuilt. Not just a new surface over old problems.
THE REPLACEMENT PROCESS
A full tear-off, done in a documented order.
The same sequence every time: protect the property, strip to the deck, fix what tear-off reveals, then rebuild the roof system correctly.
01
Inspect & scope
A free inspection of the current roof and attic, followed by a written, itemized scope covering material, decking allowance, and timeline.
02
Protect & tear off
Landscaping and driveway protected, then the old roofing material removed in sections down to the bare deck.
03
Repair the deck
Every section of decking is inspected as it is exposed. Rotted or water-damaged sheathing is cut out and replaced before anything new goes down.
04
Rebuild & clean up
New underlayment, flashing, and ventilation installed, then the new roofing material, finished with debris haul-away and a full magnetic sweep.
How to know a full tear-off is the right call
Not every roof problem calls for a full replacement. A cracked flashing detail, a handful of wind-lifted shingles, or an isolated leak is usually a job for roof repair, and a roof close to the end of its life but still structurally sound might qualify for an overlay through our re-roof evaluation. A full tear-off makes sense once the damage goes past the surface: widespread curling or cracking across the field, soft or spongy decking, repeated leaks in different spots after past repairs, or a roof old enough that patching one area just shifts the problem to the next. Our free inspection tells you which category your roof actually falls into before you spend a dollar.
SGM Home Restoration installs the full range of residential roofing materials: asphalt shingles, wood shingles, slate tile, ceramic tile, copper, standing-seam metal, and rubber (EPDM) roofing. This page covers the tear-off and replacement process itself, which applies no matter which material comes off your roof or goes back on. If your existing roof is asphalt shingle and you want the material-specific details on color matching, granule condition, and warranty tiers, our shingle roof replacement page covers that decision in depth.
What happens on tear-off day
We protect your landscaping and driveway first, then strip the existing roofing material down to the bare deck in sections, so your home is never left fully exposed overnight. Every square foot of decking gets inspected as it is uncovered. Soft, rotted, or water-stained sheathing is cut out and replaced with new plywood before anything else goes down, because a new roofing material fastened to a compromised deck fails early no matter how good the surface layer looks. Old material, nails, and debris are loaded out and hauled away as part of the job, and we run a magnetic sweep of the property when the crew wraps for the day and again at project completion.
Most residential tear-off and replacement projects in Bridgewater do not require a separate permit if the work is a like-for-like replacement with no structural changes, but we handle any permitting or inspection steps your specific project needs so you are not tracking down township paperwork yourself.
What drives the cost of a full replacement
Roof size and pitch set the baseline, since steeper roofs take longer and require more safety setup. Beyond that, the biggest swing factor is what we find under the old material: a deck that needs significant sheathing replacement costs more than one that only needs a section or two. Material choice matters too. A straightforward asphalt shingle replacement is priced differently than a slate, copper, or standing-seam metal roof, and the number of valleys, chimneys, skylights, and roof planes affects flashing labor regardless of material. We put all of this in a written, itemized scope before work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying for and why.
Timeline, from first call to final walkthrough
A typical single-family tear-off and replacement, once the material and scope are set, runs one to a few days on-site depending on roof size, material, and weather. That does not include the free inspection and written estimate up front, which we schedule quickly, or manufacturer lead time on certain materials. We give you a realistic start-to-finish window before the crew shows up, and we do not leave a job partially exposed between visits. Contact us to schedule your free inspection and get a written timeline for your specific roof.
WHY SGM

A full replacement is only as good as what happens before the new material goes down. We document that part instead of rushing past it.
Decking Checked, Not Assumed
We inspect the sheathing as it is uncovered and replace what is soft or water-damaged before the new roof goes on.
One Written Scope
Material, decking allowance, flashing, and cleanup itemized before work starts, so there are no surprise change orders.

Tear-off waste is loaded out and hauled away as part of the job, with a magnetic nail sweep at the end of every workday.

We used SGM Home Restoration to replace our roof and we can’t recommend Silverio and his team enough. Very honest and reliable, they were on time, no surprises and they did a very profesional job. Totally recommended 👌
Have used SGM Home Restoration & Roofing on many occasions. They were my roofer on two apartment complexes in Flemington and also replaced my roof on my own home. Silverio is wonderful to work with. They are thorough in both their work and clean up. Also their prices were more than 50% lower than the highest bid I received for my home. Would highly recommend getting a bid from this company on your next home repair/improvement.
Silverio and his crew did an amazing Job with our roof. Totally recommended.
The best option. Professional services.
We had a great experience with Silverio from SGM Roofing. He installed a completely new roof on our home in Bridgewater, and we couldn’t be happier! Very punctual, very kind, and transparent from the beginning. He explained everything clearly, gave us a detailed estimate, and kept us updated throughout the whole installation. He finished everything the same day, just as he promised. He also did an amazing job cleaning up afterward. He even used magnets to make sure there were no nails left in our driveway! We are very happy with the work and would 100% recommend Silverio and SGM Home Restoration
