Contact Colonial Roof Service — Roofing Company in New Jersey

For a typical Cape Cod, split-level or modest colonial, an asphalt shingle roof replacement in New Jersey usually runs about $8,000 to $15,000. Larger or steeper roofs, extra layers and rotted decking push it higher. Your estimate itemizes each of those.

A full new roof on a 1,400 to 1,800 square foot home commonly falls between $9,500 and $16,000. A roof for a home addition that ties into the existing roof is a smaller job, often $2,800 to $5,200.

Usually not for a detached single-family or two-family house. New Jersey's construction code treats replacing the roof covering on those homes as ordinary maintenance (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7). Townhouses, twins and row houses, buildings with three or more units, structural changes, and some historic districts are different, so check with your municipal construction office in those cases.

Most single-family roofs are torn off and replaced in one to three working days. Weather is the main thing that moves the schedule.
