Hillside, NJ Roofing Contractor — Replacement, Repair & Insurance Claims
Wedged between Newark, Elizabeth, and Union, Hillside is a township of solid pre-war housing — capes, colonials, and two-family homes, most built between the 1920s and 1950s along the streets off Liberty Avenue and North Broad Street. The roofs match the housing: older systems, frequently layered, with original chimneys and flashing that have outlived several sets of shingles.
What We See on Hillside Roofs
- Original chimney flashing. The most common Hillside leak isn’t shingles at all — it’s 70-year-old flashing around brick chimneys. Often a proper re-flash saves the homeowner a five-figure replacement. Our free drone inspection tells you which you need.
- Layered roofs at the legal limit. Many Hillside roofs already carry two layers, which means replacement requires full tear-off under NJ code. We quote that completely up front — tear-off, disposal, and a per-sheet decking allowance.
- Two-family logistics. Like its neighbors, Hillside has plenty of tenant-occupied two-family homes. We notify tenants, protect entrances, and complete most jobs in one day.
Roof Replacement Cost in Hillside
Most Hillside replacements run $8,500–$15,000. Financing is available including 2-years-no-interest, plus military and first responder discounts.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
Hillside sits in the same wind corridors that hit Newark and Elizabeth, and we see the same post-storm pattern: creased tabs and stripped ridge caps that homeowners can’t see from the ground. Before you call your carrier, let us document the roof — almost a decade of public adjusting experience means we know exactly what insurance companies need to approve a claim, and we’ll tell you honestly if yours won’t qualify.

FAQ — Roofing in Hillside, NJ
My ceiling has a stain but the roof looks fine from the street — what’s wrong?
On Hillside’s older homes, nine times out of ten it’s flashing — chimney, sidewall, or valley. The drone inspection finds it without anyone walking your roof, and the fix is usually a repair, not a replacement.
Do you replace roofs in winter?
Yes, weather permitting. Shingle manufacturers allow cold-weather installation with proper technique, and leaks don’t wait for spring.
Is financing available?
Yes — several plans including 2-years-no-interest. We serve all of Hillside (07205) plus bordering Union (07083), Elizabeth (07208), and Newark (07112).

Rafael from Simple Roofing was my primary point of contact. As a first-time home-buyer, my insurance required a new roof to maintain coverage, and Rafael guided me through the entire process. He listened to all my concerns, answered every … More question, and was available 24/7 throughout the project.
He also provided examples of previous work and clients, which gave me confidence in his team’s abilities. Their pricing was very reasonable compared to other companies.
I got quotes from three companies: Simple Roofing, Company B, and Company C. Company B quoted almost double, and Company C insisted on a metal roof.
I explained, FOR 3 HOURS, that a metal roof was not in my budget, and Company C then quoted me 3x the price for a regular shingle roof. Both Company B and C were suggesting financing these 2x and 3x priced roofing projects over 15–25 years, which I thought was insane—financing a project over such a long period and paying interest the whole time. Going with Simple Roofing ended up being a no-brainer: I got a fair price that I could finance over a much smaller time period.
Rafael carefully reviewed the roof, pointing out areas of concern and suggesting improvements such as better gutter routing for efficiency. Scheduling was easy, and the team completed the work in a single day.
Minor points to note: I did find a few nails in my driveway and lawn after the job was completed. To be fair: his team did collect about 99% of the nails and debris. It’s important to do your own scan afterward so you don’t accidentally drive over nails with your car or run over them with a lawn mower. That said, this is something a homeowner should generally expect to do after any roofing project, so it’s not a big deal.
Another small disappointment was that I did not get the option to keep any extra materials that I paid for. I’m not sure if there were any leftover materials or if the estimates were for exact amounts, but if there were any extras, they were taken by the crew. On the positive side, Rafael provided $100 worth of plywood at no extra charge for roof deck replacements, which I did need, so the final cost did not exceed the original estimate. I would assume the extra roof decking supplies were included in the estimate so it wasn't technically free, but he mentioned that if more roof decking was needed, that it would affect the final cost.
Rafael also worked closely with me and my financing team to ensure the roof could be financed, guiding me through every step.
Your mileage may vary, but from my experience, the process from price quoting to scheduling, talking with financing, and completing the job felt really quick. From start to finish, it was completed much faster than I anticipated.
Overall, I highly recommend Simple Roofing. They are trustworthy, local to the Northern NJ area, and professional. My new roof looks pristine, and their work exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone, whether for a small repair or a full roof replacement. -
Rafael is such a nice and polite and understanding person. His quality with Customer service is awesome. He sat down and explain to myself and my husband from top to finish and what I love about this company is the way Raphael explained … More everything they first of all took pictures with the drone of the condition of the roof sit down and explain it to us step-by-step step-by-step. Their workers were amazing when they were finished in two days you would never thought from looking down from the ground of all the work that they did by the time they finished everything was spotless. You will never thought that they were there until you took a look up and seeing such an amazing job that they did on the roof. I recommend this company to anyone who needs their roof replaced outstanding. They only allow me to give five stars if I could, I will give 100 stars.
