Premium Roof Replacement by Certified Installers
When repairs are no longer enough, a full roof replacement is the smartest investment you can make in your home. A new roof protects your family, improves energy efficiency, boosts curb appeal, and adds significant resale value. At Mimar Construction, we've replaced thousands of roofs across Northern NJ and CT over the past 30 years, and every installation reflects our commitment to expert craftsmanship.
As a GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred contractor, we offer manufacturer-backed warranties that go beyond what non-certified installers can provide. This means your investment is protected by both our workmanship guarantee and the manufacturer's material warranty — giving you true peace of mind.
Roofing Materials We Install
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
The most popular choice for homeowners in Northern NJ and CT, architectural asphalt shingles offer an excellent balance of durability, aesthetics, and value. We install premium lines from GAF (Timberline HDZ, Camelot, Grand Sequoia) and Owens Corning (Duration, Berkshire, Woodcrest) with warranties up to 50 years. Architectural shingles provide a dimensional, textured look that mimics the appearance of natural wood shake or slate at a fraction of the cost.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs are gaining popularity among homeowners in Saddle River, Franklin Lakes, and Greenwich who want a roof that lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Metal roofing is exceptionally durable against high winds, hail, and heavy snow loads common in our region. It's also energy-efficient, reflecting solar heat to reduce cooling costs in summer. We install steel, aluminum, and copper metal roofing systems in a wide range of colors and profiles.
Tile & Slate Roofing
For homeowners seeking the ultimate in longevity and elegance, we install natural slate, clay tile, and composite tile roofing. These premium materials can last 75-100+ years and are especially popular on historic homes and high-end properties throughout Fairfield County and Bergen County. Our experienced team understands the specialized installation techniques required for tile and slate, ensuring proper weight distribution and waterproofing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
Most residential roof replacements in Northern NJ and CT are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the size of your roof, the material being installed, and weather conditions. Metal and tile roofs may take longer due to the specialized installation process. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always clean up at the end of each work day.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice due to their durability, aesthetic variety, and value. However, the best material depends on your specific goals. If you want maximum lifespan, metal or slate is ideal. If you want the best value with excellent performance, premium asphalt shingles from GAF or Owens Corning are hard to beat. We'll help you weigh the options during your free consultation.
No, you don't need to be home during the actual installation. However, we do ask that you be available for the initial consultation and the final walkthrough. During installation, our crew works independently and we communicate progress updates throughout the project.
As a GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred contractor, we can offer manufacturer warranties up to 50 years on materials, plus extended workmanship warranties that non-certified contractors cannot provide. We also back our work with our own craftsmanship guarantee. The specific warranty depends on the material and system you choose — we'll explain all options during your consultation.
While it's technically possible to install a second layer of shingles over an existing roof, we generally don't recommend it. A full tear-off allows us to inspect the decking for rot or damage, install proper ice & water shield, and ensure the new roof performs at its best. It also avoids voiding manufacturer warranties and keeps the roof weight within structural limits. We'll always give you our honest recommendation.
"Mimar Construction replaced our 25-year-old roof with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles and the difference is incredible. The crew was professional, efficient, and left our property spotless. Our neighbors have already asked us for their contact info. Highly recommend for anyone needing a new roof in Bergen County."
