Arman from Manchester, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2024. The roof was finished on 3 October: two layers of old shingle stripped to the sheathing and hauled away, then 3,200 square feet of new composition shingle in barkwood with a 50-year warranty, along with new gutters. Every roof we do is a complete tear-off, and this is the case that shows why the count matters before the work starts rather than after – a second layer conceals the condition of the first, and the deck underneath is not visible until both are off. The quotation carried an explicit allowance for finding a third layer, which is the honest way to price uncertainty: the number moves if the roof turns out to be worse than expected, and it is agreed in advance rather than argued about on the day.

Roofing questions from Manchester homeowners
What roofing shingle goes on most homes in Manchester, NJ?
The primary residential roofing offering uses GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles as part of a complete GAF roofing system. The installation can incorporate qualifying GAF leak barrier, roof deck protection, starter strips, Timberline HDZ shingles, ridge-cap shingles and attic ventilation products.
Why does water sit in my gutter?
Standing water can indicate insufficient pitch, sagging, a blockage or an outlet problem. Small residual amounts do not always indicate failure, but substantial standing water should be investigated.
Will Hydro-Flo void my roof warranty?
Hydro-Flo states that its installation does not require lifting or penetrating the shingles, and that its gutter protection system does not void roof warranties. The roofing manufacturer's written warranty always controls any specific warranty determination.
