How roofing in Llewellyn Park actually works

This is the most specialized roofing in the township and the least suited to a price per square. Natural slate runs $22 to $35 a square foot, a single broken tile is $200 to $500 to put right properly, and the frames here were built for the weight -- which means replacing stone with stone is a genuine option rather than a structural project.

Access and appearance both matter more here than area does, and neither of them is visible in a quote written from a satellite photograph.

A private planned residential community begun in the 1850s by Llewellyn Haskell on the side of the First Mountain, and among the earliest of its kind in the country. Large individually designed houses on expansive, wooded lots -- Victorian and estate architecture with complex rooflines, towers, dormers and substantial areas of natural slate.

Before you book anything

Four checks that cost nothing and take about a minute

Three of them you can do standing in your own driveway, before anybody gets a ladder off a roof rack. Apply them here first.

Look at the van

N.J.A.C. 13:45A-17.11 requires the registration number on BOTH sides of a commercial vehicle used for home improvement work, with "HIC reg. #" in lettering an inch high. An unmarked van is not a matter of taste or opinion -- it is a vehicle that does not comply with the rule it is supposed to.

Look at the paper they handed you

The same regulation puts that number on every advertisement, business document, contract and piece of correspondence distributed in this state. A flyer or a door hanger without one was produced in breach of it, whatever else is printed on it.

Ask for the contract before the ladder

Over $500, N.J.A.C. 13:45A-16.2 requires it in writing and signed by both parties, setting out the work and the materials and giving the contractor's legal name and business address. A first name and a mobile number is not a business address.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in NJ?

Usually not, on a house. Replacing the roof COVERING on a detached one- or two-family dwelling is ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7 -- no permit, no notice, no inspection. Three or more units, an attached building, or anything structural underneath the covering is a different answer, and the office that decides is your own municipality's construction office, not the state's. West Orange is detached enough that no permit is the normal outcome here.

What is the average price for a new roof in NJ?

An architectural asphalt roof runs $9,500 to $26,000 in New Jersey, and most 2,000 square foot houses land at $12,000 to $18,000 installed. Per square foot that is $5.50 to $8.00 for architectural shingle against $4.50 to $6.50 for three-tab. Natural slate is a different market entirely at $22 to $35 a square foot, and synthetic slate sits between them at $9 to $16.

What is the most expensive part of replacing a roof?

Labor, in most cases -- typically more than half the total, and the share rises with pitch and complexity because steep broken-up roofs take far longer per square foot than simple ones. The item that most often moves a final bill away from the quote is different: replacement decking, which nobody can measure until the old covering is off. That is why it belongs in the scope as a rate per sheet.

How much should a 1200 sq ft roof cost?

A 1,200 square foot roof in architectural shingle works out at roughly $6,600 to $9,600 on New Jersey rates, before anything the roof itself adds. Note that 1,200 square feet of FLOOR is not 1,200 square feet of roof: pitch, overhangs and dormers mean the roof area on a house that size is commonly a third larger again, which is a frequent source of quotes that look inexplicably far apart.
