When it comes to roofing, there’s no shortage of advice out there—some helpful, some flat-out wrong. At All Pro 1 New Jersey, we believe informed homeowners make better decisions. That’s why we’re here to debunk some of the most common roofing myths we hear across New Jersey.
If you’re unsure about your roof’s condition or need expert advice, give us a call at (201) 773-6635 or request a free estimate today.
Myth #1: “If My Roof Isn’t Leaking, It Doesn’t Need Repairs”
False! A roof doesn’t have to leak to have damage. Issues like missing shingles, cracked flashing, or warped decking can exist silently—until a storm hits. Routine inspections from a professional roofing company like All Pro 1 NJ can catch problems early, saving you thousands.
Myth #2: “All Shingles Are the Same”
Not all shingles are created equal. Some offer better wind resistance, UV protection, or energy efficiency. The quality of your shingles impacts how well your roof stands up to New Jersey’s tough weather. Our team only works with trusted, long-lasting roofing materials.
Myth #3: “A New Roof Can Be Installed Over an Old One”
While roof overlays may be allowed by code, they’re not always a good idea. Installing a new roof over an old one can trap moisture, hide damage, and reduce the new roof’s lifespan. In most cases, a full tear-off is the safest and most effective option.
Myth #4: “Roofing Work Can Be a DIY Job”
DIY might save money short-term, but roofing requires proper safety, tools, and know-how. A single mistake can cause leaks or violate building codes. Trust licensed professionals like All Pro 1 NJ to handle the job safely and correctly.
Myth #5: “A Roof Will Last 30+ Years No Matter What”
Even the best materials won’t last if the roof isn’t maintained. New Jersey’s mix of snow, heat, and humidity takes a toll. Regular inspections and small repairs keep your roof performing for decades. Schedule a check-up with us to extend your roof’s lifespan.
