Roofing Services for Rutherford Homeowners
Most Rutherford homeowners don’t know their roof needs replacement until water shows up inside. By that point, decking damage and interior repairs are often already in scope. A free annual inspection — especially after a Bergen County winter — catches the warning signs before they become structural problems.
Rutherford’s established borough has Victorians, colonials, and older ranches from the early 1900s to mid-century, where the oldest homes carry original roof framing that needs careful inspection before any new installation.
As a licensed roofing contractor serving Rutherford and all of Bergen County, Nail Force Contracting backs every installation with a workmanship warranty and manufacturer system warranty coverage. We inspect free, scope in writing, and don’t start work until the scope is approved. No surprises mid-job.

Roofing Questions — Rutherford, NJ
If yours isn’t here, call us. We’ll give you a real answer.
Ice and water shield is non-negotiable on Rutherford roofs — it’s not an upgrade, it’s the spec. Yes — in NJ it’s critical. Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane installed at the eaves, valleys, and around all penetrations. Where ice dams form at the eaves, it’s the last line of defense against water backing under shingles. We install it to code minimum at minimum — and extend coverage further on vulnerable areas.
Yes. Overhanging limbs deposit debris in valleys, trap shade that holds moisture and promotes algae, and can cause physical damage in high winds. We recommend trimming branches to maintain at least 6 feet of clearance from the roof surface. We note overhanging tree issues in every inspection report we deliver to Rutherford homeowners.
Day one: dumpster or truck staged, materials loaded, tear-off begins. Full deck inspection completed and any damaged decking replaced. Underlayment, ice shield, and drip edge installed before end of day if possible. Day two (if needed): shingles, ridge vent, and all flashing completed. Magnet sweep and cleanup before we leave.
