Full Roof Replacement Woodcliff Lake, NJ

Local Woodcliff Lake Reroofing Project Combining Flat and Owen Corning Shingles Roofing Systems

Allied Roofing Solutions recently completed a full roof replacement project in Woodcliff Lake, NJ using EPDM flat roofing and Owens Corning Duration® AR shingles in color Sierra Gray.

This project was more involved than a standard shingles roof replacement because the home had both low-slope and steep-slope areas across the roofline. This means that our roofing team had to ensure that every part of the full roofing system, whether for a flat section of the roof or a steeped, shingled roof section, had to work together. 

Drainage, flashing, membrane tie-ins, roof shingle installation, gutter installation, and final cleanup all had to be coordinated carefully so we could protect the home from the risk of water intrusion while delivering a clean, updated home exterior for elevated curb appeal.

What This Residential Full Roof Replacement Included

Our Woodcliff Lake roofing company began the project with a full tear-off of the existing roofing system, then performed a thorough installation of the new EPDM flat roof, Owens Corning Duration® AR architectural shingles, a complete gutter system, and flashing work throughout the transition areas. 

The project took a full week due to the combination of flat and pitched roofing systems.

For this home, Allied Roofing Solutions completed:

The result was a roofing system built for better drainage, stronger weather protection, and a more finished exterior appearance.

How Allied Approached a Roof With Flat and Shingles Roofing

It is more common than many homeowners realize for a house to have more than one type of roofing system. A main roof may have pitched sections that need roof shingles, while additions, porch roofs, dormers, rear sections, or architectural roof details may have lower-slope areas that require a flat roofing material.

Identifying the Right Roofing System for Each Section

That was the main challenge with this Woodcliff Lake roof replacement. The home could not be treated like a simple shingle-only project. The low-slope sections needed a flat roofing membrane, while the steeper roof areas needed architectural roof shingles installed for proper water shedding, curb appeal, and long-term performance.

Installing EPDM and Architectural Shingles Together

For the flat roofing areas, Allied Roofing Solutions installed a new .060 black EPDM roofing system. EPDM is commonly used on low-slope roof sections because it creates a durable, watertight membrane when installed correctly. For the pitched roof sections, the team installed Owens Corning Duration® AR architectural shingles in Sierra Gray, giving the home a dimensional shingle profile and a clean gray finish.

Coordinating Drainage Across the Full Roofline

The key was making sure these systems worked together cohesively. Water had to move from the pitched areas, across or around the low-slope sections, and into the new gutter system without collecting at vulnerable spots that would create pooling leading to the need for roof repairs.

Project Decisions That Improved Performance and Curb Appeal

This full roof replacement project in Woodcliff required more than choosing new materials. Each decision made by the homeowner and supported by our roofers had to support the home’s protection while creating a finished exterior that looked seamless from every angle.

Architectural Roof Shingles for the Steep-Slope Sections

For the pitched areas of this home, Allied Roofing Solutions installed Owens Corning Duration® AR architectural roof shingles. Architectural roof shingles are now a common standard for residential roof replacements because they offer more depth, strength, and visual dimension than older 3-tab shingles. 

Duration® roof shingles also include several performance details that are useful for Northern New Jersey homes, including:

• Patented SureNail® Technology for improved nailing strength and wind performance
• Limited Lifetime Warranty coverage
• 130-MPH Wind Resistance Limited Warranty
• 10-year Algae Resistance Limited Warranty
• Class A fire resistance
• 5 5/8-inch shingle exposure
• Three bundles per square
• 98.4 square feet of coverage per square

.060 EPDM Flat Roofing for the Low-Slope Areas

For the low-slope sections of the home, Allied Roofing Solutions installed a new .060 black EPDM flat roofing system. EPDM is a single-ply synthetic rubber roofing membrane commonly used on flat and low-slope areas because it is flexible, durable, UV resistant, and better suited for slower water movement than traditional roof shingles.

For this project, the EPDM system helped protect the areas where shingles would not have been the right material choice. Key flat roofing performance details include:

• .060 EPDM membrane thickness for low-slope roof coverage
• Single-ply rubber membrane designed for flat and low-slope roofing
• Flexible material that can handle normal roof movement and temperature changes
• UV and weather resistance for exposed roof sections
• Watertight membrane performance when seams, edges, and penetrations are installed correctly
• Compatibility with transition flashing where the flat roof meets pitched shingle sections

Flashing and Waterproofing at Roof Transitions

The transition points between the flat EPDM roof and the shingled roof sections needed careful attention because these are common areas for leaks. Allied Roofing Solutions completed detailed flashing and waterproofing around the roof edges, connection points, and changes in slope to help protect the home from water intrusion that would lead to the need for a roof leak repair. 

New Gutters to Support Drainage

The new gutter system helped complete the full roof replacement by directing water away from the roofline, fascia, siding, landscaping, and foundation. Because this home had both flat and pitched roof sections, the gutters played an important role in managing runoff and supporting the long-term performance of the new roofing system. Proper gutter installation also helps protect home siding by reducing overflow, splashback, and water exposure along exterior walls.

The Result: Durable and Stylish Roof with the Warranty Protection Homeowners Can Trust

Allied Roofing Solutions is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor. This means qualifying full roof replacements performed by our team may be eligible for enhanced warranty options that are not available through every roofing company.

For eligible Owens Corning roofing systems, this coverage may include a 50-year manufacturer material warranty and 25-year workmanship protection, giving homeowners support for both the products used and the way the roof was installed.

Confirming the Roof Meets System Requirements

For a roof to qualify, the installation has to meet Owens Corning’s requirements. That can include a full tear-off, proper roof decking conditions, ventilation, approved Owens Corning system components, flashing, drip edge, and warranty registration within the required 60-day timeframe.

Why Installation Details Affect Coverage

The roofing shingles are only one part of the finished roof. The full system has to be installed correctly and documented properly so the homeowner has a clear understanding of the warranty coverage available after the project is complete.

For homeowners in Woodcliff Lake and surrounding Northern New Jersey communities, Allied Roofing Solutions’ Platinum Preferred Contractor status adds value to a full roof replacement. It gives eligible customers access to stronger Owens Corning warranty protection while ensuring the project is handled by a roofing company trained to install the system to manufacturer standards.
