If you're staring at an old roof, the first question is usually simple: what will a new one cost?
In New Jersey, there's no single number. The price comes down to a handful of real factors, from roof size to the material you choose.
Here's how it works, without the guesswork.
A few things move the price more than anything else.
The big ones are roof size, the material you pick, how steep the roof is, and whether the old roof has to come off.
Bigger roofs need more material and more labor.
Steep or complex roofs take longer and cost more to work on safely.
Basic shingles cost the least up front.
Metal roofing and premium options cost more, but they last much longer, so the value evens out over time.
If the old roof has to be removed, that adds labor.
Rotted decking found underneath adds a little more, but it's far better fixed now than later.
You're not just paying for materials. You're paying for the labor, safety, and expertise to install it right the first time.
