Ballpark ranges for budgeting only, based on typical project costs in New Jersey. Not a quote or offer. Your final price depends on your home, roof pitch, layers, decking condition, materials and scope, and is only provided after a free inspection. This estimate cannot be locked in or honored as a price.
Pick the row that matches your house and the shingle you want. The add-ons under the table are the things that most often change the final number.

What the range covers
These are the steps in every roof replacement we do:
- Full tear-off, down to the decking
- A look at the decking once the old roof is off
- Ice-and-water shield, underlayment and drip edge
- New flashing where the roof meets walls and pipes
- Magnet sweep for nails and a full cleanup
- Photos of the finished roof and the layers under it
What adds to the price
Some costs nobody can see until the old roof comes off, and some depend on your house. That's why they're listed as add-ons under the table, not hidden inside the range:
- Bad decking. Soft or rotted wood gets replaced before the new roof goes on. Nobody knows how much until the shingles are off.
- An extra layer. If there are 2 roofs up there, both come off.
- Ridge vent and attic ventilation, when the attic needs more airflow than it has.
- Chimney flashing.
- A new skylight, if the old one should go while the roof is open.
- New seamless gutters, if the old ones are shot.
Steep pitch, a second or third story, a lot of valleys and dormers, or a hard-to-reach roof also push a job toward the high end of its range.
What the range leaves out
- Anything structural, like broken rafters or framing under the decking.
- Work that isn't roofing, like interior ceiling repairs after a leak.
- Permit fees, if your job needs one. Most don't: replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family home is ordinary maintenance in New Jersey under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, so there's no construction permit. If your house sits in a local historic district, the town may want its own approval first.
If something like that comes up, you hear about it before the work, not on the bill.
Why 2 houses on the same street can price differently
Home size gets you in the right row, but the roof decides the price. Pitch, layers, decking and how many times the roof changes direction all matter.
House age matters too. In Hazlet, half the homes were built by 1965. In Holmdel, half were built by 1988. Older houses are more likely to have an extra layer up top and old board decking underneath, and that shows up at tear-off.
How long it takes
A typical single-family reroof is a 1 to 3 day job, weather allowing. More layers, a steep pitch or a lot of bad decking add time.
Does insurance pay for a new roof?
Sometimes, for sudden damage like wind or a fallen tree. Usually not for a roof that's just old. Our NJ insurance guide explains the basics in plain English.
