The same professional installers and 50 year warranty standard behind 10,000+ window and door installations now protecting your roof.
No shortcuts. No "caulk-and-walk."
Home Exteriors by The Men With Tools installs and replaces residential roofs across Staten Island, New York and New Jersey, using premium roofing systems and our expert installers.
Since 2014, we've completed more than 10,000 window and door installations in the same communities we know about roof, and we back our roofing labor with a lifetime warranty. Whether your roof is failing after a coastal nor'easter, leaking into the attic, or simply past its 20-year mark, we give you a straight answer, a fair price on a premium product, and an installation done right the first time.
What We Do
Full tear-off and replacement with our complete roofing system, shingles, underlayment, ice-and-water barrier, ventilation, and hip-and-ridge, engineered to work as one system.
We offer architectural shingles in a full range of designer color blends, so you can match your home's style, your neighborhood, and your taste.
Choose from rich, dimensional tones including:
* Warm earth tones — Amber, Desert Tan, Aged Cedar, and Brownwood for a classic, inviting look
* Cool grays & neutrals — Colonial Slate, Estate Gray, and Driftwood that pair beautifully with NJ and Staten Island colonials
* Bold statement shades — Chateau Green and deep blacks for homeowners who want their roof to stand out
Every shingle we install is built for long-lasting performance and striking beauty — multi-tonal blends that add depth and contrast across the whole roofline, not a flat single color.
Active leak? Missing or lifted shingles after a storm? Our crew diagnoses the actual problem instead of selling you a roof you don't need yet.
Our Complete Roofing System — "A Roof Is More Than Shingles"
A roof that lasts isn't one good product, it's five working together. We install the complete Sustainable Roofing System every layer engineered to seal, defend, and breathe as one system:
Architectural shingles with a reinforced nailing zone — our premium architectural shingles use a reinforced, multi-layer nailing zone for superior holding power and are wind-rated up to 130 mph. High-definition color blends give the curb appeal that adds resale value.
Ice & water barrier — seals the most leak-prone areas of the roof: eaves, valleys, and penetrations.
Synthetic underlayment — the defend layer over your roof deck, far tougher and more tear-resistant than old-school felt.
Balanced attic ventilation — intake and exhaust working together so heat and moisture leave the attic instead of cooking your roof from underneath. This is the step most "caulk-and-walk" roofers skip — and it's why their roofs fail early.
Starter & hip-and-ridge shingles — a continuous sealant bead at the edges and a finished, watertight ridgeline.
Why the full system matters to you: when every component is installed as an engineered system, your roof qualifies for our strongest system warranty, coverage a roofer who mixes cheap, mismatched parts simply cannot offer.
Storm & energy options worth asking about: impact-resistant shingles (Class 4 — the highest impact rating available for asphalt shingles, relevant for coastal hail and wind) and reflective "cool" shingles that cut attic heat and lower summer cooling costs.

A properly installed asphalt-shingle roof lasts about 20-30 years in New Jersey's climate, with architectural shingles typically reaching 25-30 years and 3-tab shingles closer to 15-20 years.

Home Exteriors by The Men With Tools offers free roof inspections across New Jersey and Staten Island and will tell you honestly whether the roof can be repaired or needs replacement. A documented inspection is the right first step before any roof decision.
Yes, asphalt-shingle roofs can be installed in winter in New Jersey as long as the temperature is above 40 degrees F, which lets the shingles seal properly. Some premium shingles require a minimum temperature for the seal strip to activate, but most GAF and Owens Corning shingles can be hand-sealed in colder weather. Home Exteriors by The Men With Tools installs roofs year-round and uses winter-specific techniques like cold-weather underlayment and hand sealing.
