What if your next roofing decision felt calm, clear, and actually fair? We sat down with Julia from Golden Dragon Roofing in Bergen County to unpack how a transparent, certified approach can turn a high-pressure, high-cost moment into a confident, informed choice. She shares what most contractors won’t: why trust breaks down, how to read the real condition of your shingles, and when a full replacement is truly necessary.

Julia’s journey—from Moscow to an NYU finance degree, through hedge funds and real estate, and into roofing—shapes a rare, disciplined mindset for a home service business. Alongside her husband Chris, a roofer since the late 80s, she’s building a brand that answers the phone, shows the work with photos, and educates before selling. We explore roof rejuvenation, a spray-on treatment for asphalt shingles that can extend life at roughly 15–20% of replacement cost, plus where it fits (and where it doesn’t) for homes across North Jersey.

We also get practical about inspections. Most home inspectors won’t walk the roof, which leaves buyers guessing about flashing, boots, skylights, and ventilation. Golden Dragon’s certification-backed inspections and optional leak-free certification add documentation, accountability, and a two-year no-leak warranty when the roof qualifies—ideal for real estate transactions. And because materials keep rising, we talk realistic pricing, lifespan expectations in Bergen County, and how to weigh repair vs. rejuvenation vs. replacement without regret.

If you care about clarity, ethics, and craftsmanship on one of your home’s biggest investments, this conversation is your playbook. Subscribe, share with a neighbor who’s debating a roof quote, and leave a review with your top roofing question—we’ll tackle it in a future episode.
