Rockaway Roofing Q&A

Browse the questions below, or call us for a Rockaway-specific answer.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Rockaway?

Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Rockaway run $12,000–$22,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home. Cost depends on pitch, layer count, and material grade. GAF Timberline HDZ in standard colors typically runs $14,000–$16,000 installed. We provide written estimates so you know the number before we start.

How much do roof repairs typically cost?

Minor repairs like replacing a few shingles or fixing a leak around a vent cost $300–$800. Larger repairs, like replacing a section of decking or fixing flashing, run $1,000–$3,000. We assess the damage and give a fixed price before any work begins.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most full replacements in Rockaway take 1–3 days for a standard-size home. Crew size, weather, and discovery of decking damage (common in homes 20+ years old) can extend that. We tell you upfront if decking work is likely based on the age and condition of your current roof.

Are you licensed and insured in New Jersey?

Yes, we are licensed, insured, and bonded since 2011. Our NJ HIC number is 13VH08923400. We carry $2 million liability insurance and all workers are covered. We put our license number everywhere because that separates a pro from a guy with a truck.

What roofing materials do you work with?

We install asphalt shingles from Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas. We also do metal roofing, slate, and cedar shake. For flat roofs, we use TPO and modified bitumen. We help you pick the best material for your home and budget.

Do you offer warranties on roof work?

We offer 50-year transferable warranties on select shingles from CertainTeed and GAF. Our workmanship warranty covers leaks and installation defects for 10 years. We stand behind every job we do, and we hand-write every contract so there's no fine print.

Do I need a permit for roof work in Rockaway?

Most NJ cities require a building permit for full replacements. Repairs under a certain threshold often don't. We handle the permit process — we pull it, schedule the inspection, and pass it before we close the job. We have a 15-year track record with zero code violations.

What should I do if my roof is leaking during a storm?

If you have an active leak, call us for same-day help. We'll come out, tarp the area to prevent water damage, and assess the damage. We've handled emergency repairs on Green Pond Road and throughout Morris County. We live here, so we respond fast.

Do you work on commercial roofs?

Yes, we provide commercial roofing services including TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and metal roofs for businesses in Rockaway and Morris County. We handle everything from small storefronts to larger commercial buildings.

How do I know if my roof needs replacing?

Look for missing or curled shingles, granules in the gutters, water stains on ceilings, and daylight through the roof boards. If your roof is over 20 years old, it's worth getting an inspection. We offer free estimates and will walk you through what we find.
