Devi from Bayonne, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2026. The roof was finished on 14 April: two layers of old shingle stripped to the sheathing and hauled away, then 2,300 square feet of new composition shingle in charcoal with a 50-year warranty. Two layers coming off is the case the tear-off rule exists for – the second was hiding whatever the first had been covering, and the deck underneath is not visible until both are gone. Bayonne sits on the peninsula between Newark Bay and the Kill Van Kull, about as far north as this list reaches, and a roof there takes weather off the water from two directions.

Roofing questions from Bayonne homeowners
What should a Bayonne homeowner look for in a roofing contractor?
One that treats the roof, its flashings, its ventilation and its drainage as connected parts rather than as shingles with extras. That means the age and condition of the existing roof, the decking, how many layers are on it, the slope, the manufacturer's installation requirements, ice and water protection, underlayment, starter strips, drip edge, valleys, chimney and step flashing, pipe boots, skylights, ridge caps, attic ventilation and soffit intake, low-slope sections, sheathing replacement, the code requirements and permits, which warranties actually apply and what they cover, gutter size, pitch, downspout capacity and discharge, the fascia, gutter protection, whether solar is coming later, protecting the landscaping, the cleanup and proof of insurance. The wrong question is the price per square. The right one is exactly what is being installed, from the deck up, and what written protection stands behind it.
Is a roof replacement noisy?
Very. The old roof is being torn off and thousands of fasteners are being driven into the deck above your head. Anyone working from home may want to plan around it, pets can find it distressing, and fragile items on attic shelves or hanging on walls immediately below the roof are worth securing beforehand.
Does a wind warranty with no speed limit mean the roof cannot blow off?
No. It is a limited warranty without a maximum wind-speed limitation for qualifying systems, and that is a statement about coverage rather than about physics. Storm damage remains possible and the coverage remains subject to the warranty's terms and exclusions.
