The Benefits of Hiring a Local Roofing Contractor in New Jersey

Mar 19, 2023 | Blog, New Jersey, Roofing Contractor

The homes we live in are our greatest asset! We raise our children in these homes. We build memories and share experiences in these homes. We must be able to trust the companies we hire to do work on our homes. We must be able to believe what they tell us and hold faithful to the promises they make. 

How do you know if you can trust a roofing contractor, secondly, why should you hire a local one? 

Reputation

Reliable roofing service, New Jersey

Friends and family love to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of their experiences. If a contractor did a fabulous job and was reliable, honest, and upfront in the business relationship, the word of mouth will spread through the community. The same goes for a contractor who charged too much, had poor workmanship, and was rude. Trust your friends and family when it comes to their experiences! They will tell you like it is! 

If you are considering a contractor unfamiliar to your peers, ask the company for references. A trustworthy company will direct you to sources that you can speak with regarding their workmanship. It is always better to ask the question than to have doubt. 

Super Roofing in New Jersey has been serving the local area and holds a 5 out of 5-star rating when it comes to working performance, honesty, and workmanship. We would be more than happy to direct you to our reviews to ease your concerns. 

Local Company

What happens if damage occurs to your roof and you can’t find the company that installed it to inquire? Who would you turn to? It is important to place your trust in a local contractor that can be reached and answer your questions. Simple Roofing is a team of local community members who shop at the same stores you do, get gas at the same stations, and share the same elementary teachers for our kids. Your community is our community. We can be found right up the street, and our phone number is local. 

Rules, Regulations, and Permits

Hiring a local roofing contractor means you can place your trust in a company that knows the local rules and regulations for working on a commercial or residential roofing property. We understand permits are needed to stay within the proper guidelines. If you hire an out-of-town contractor, the rules may be different, and you may end up with fines.

What to Do if a Storm Damages Your Roof in New Jersey

What to Do if a Storm Damages Your Roof in New Jersey

Feb 14, 2023 | Blog, New Jersey, Roof Damage, Roof Repair, Storm Damage Roof

Severe winds, thunderstorms, and hail can cause great damage to a roofing system. High-force winds can blow individual shingles off the roof, exposing the surfaces below the elements. Hail can create holes in the roof as well. If these areas are not repaired, more expensive complications can occur in the future.  What should be done when storms damage your roof?

Take Pictures

When a storm has passed and it is safe to go outside, make sure to take several pictures of the damage to your home. It may be difficult to see all of the damage, but take as many pictures as you can. Please use caution if you decide to climb a ladder to note the damage. Taking videos may be wise also. 

Call a Trusted Roofing Professional

Contact a local roofing company to inspect your roof. Especially if you have concerns about climbing on your roof. They have the safety equipment to climb up and inspect damaged areas. An honest company will speak with you about the damages caused and advise you on the choices you can make. Here are some items to consider when speaking with a roofing company.

  • Make sure the company is fully insured, with General Liability and Workmen’s Comp, before the team climbs on your roof. 
  • Do not sign any paperwork the roofing company presents until after the inspection is done, and a plan can be put in place. 
  • Do not give the roofing company any money up front to do the inspection. It should be a free inspection. 
  • Know what the roofing company is doing during the inspection. Be present. 
  • Ask for the company’s license number if you are not familiar with them.

It can be a daunting task to search for a company that meets all of these criteria. Place your trust in Simple Roofing in New Jersey. We take pride in our work and follow honest simple principles daily by providing the best materials and workmanship possible. We treat our customers like family, with courtesy and respect. You will never have to guess what to do next or wonder about the quality of the roof when you speak with us. We value you and your home.  (If you are in need of gutter replacement or repair you can click here!)

Contact Your Insurance Agent

The next step is to contact your insurance agent. It is advised not to contact the company, but your agent. The agent can readily look up your policy and provide you with specific advice and steps moving forward. If you have questions or concerns, your agent will take the time to help. Ask for copies of all paperwork for your files. While most insurance policies cover hail and damage, make sure you understand your specific policy and any “acts of God” clauses. 

Trust the professionals at Supreme Roofing to assist with replacing or repairing your roof after storm damage. We have more than two decades of experience in the roofing industry and we understand the specific needs of our friends and neighbors in New Jersey. We offer top-notch services with premium products you can always count on. We look forward to working with you! 

 

 

 

How Much Do New Gutters Cost in New Jersey? (2026 Prices)

How Much Do New Gutters Cost in New Jersey? (2026 Prices)

Feb 5, 2023 | Blog, Gutter Replacement, New Gutter Cost, New Jersey, Uncategorized

Updated June 2026

Straight answer: seamless aluminum gutters in New Jersey cost $8–$16 per linear foot installed in 2026. An average NJ home with ~160 linear feet of gutter and downspouts lands between $1,400 and $3,200.

2026 pricing by gutter type

System Installed cost / linear ft
Seamless 5″ K-style aluminum (standard) $8–$13
Seamless 6″ heavy-duty aluminum $10–$16
Copper $25–$40
Gutter guards (micro-mesh, added) $8–$12
Old gutter removal/disposal $1–$4

What changes your price

  • 5″ vs. 6″. Larger roofs and steep pitches shed more water than 5″ gutters handle. Much of northern NJ’s housing does better with 6″ — we’ll tell you which yours needs at the inspection, with the math.
  • Built-in gutters. Many older homes in Clifton, Paterson, and Passaic have gutters framed into the roof itself. When they rot, they leak behind the fascia and into walls. Converting them to modern seamless gutters is carpentry plus gutter work — typically $2,500–$6,000 depending on damage — and it’s one of our specialties during roof replacement.
  • Stories and accessibility. Two- and three-story homes (most of our Newark, Elizabeth, and Passaic work) cost more per foot than ranches.
  • Downspout count. More downspouts move water better; cheap quotes often cut them.

Why gutters and roofs should be done together

When we replace a roof, gutters come off and go back on anyway — bundling new gutters with a roof replacement saves the second mobilization cost and puts your entire water-shedding system under one warranty. Most of our gutter installs happen exactly this way.

Are sagging gutters damaging your roof?

Failed gutters cause ice dams in NJ winters, rot fascia boards, and dump water against your foundation. If your gutters overflow in heavy rain or grow icicles in January, the gutter system is failing at its one job. A free inspection tells you whether you need cleaning, re-pitching, or replacement. More: Gutter Installation.

Frequently asked questions

How much do seamless gutters cost for a whole house in NJ?

Most single-family homes: $1,400–$3,200 installed. Larger homes, 6″ systems, and guards push toward $4,000–$5,000.

Are gutter guards worth it?

Under heavy tree cover (Bloomfield, Hackensack, Maywood — we’re looking at you), usually yes: $8–$12/ft buys years of not climbing ladders.

How long do aluminum gutters last?

20+ years when properly pitched and maintained.

How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in New Jersey? (2026 Guide)

How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in New Jersey? (2026 Guide)

Jan 20, 2023 | Blog, Costs, New Jersey, Roof Replacement

Updated June 2026

If you’re getting quotes for a new roof in northern New Jersey, here’s the honest number up front: most asphalt shingle roof replacements in NJ cost between $8,500 and $22,000 in 2026, with the typical single-family home landing around $12,000–$14,000. We’re a roofing contractor — these are the prices we actually charge and the prices we see competitors charge across Passaic, Bergen, and Essex counties.

Below is what drives your number up or down, so you can spot both a lowball and a rip-off.

2026 cost by home size (asphalt shingle, full tear-off)

Home size Roof area (approx.) Typical installed cost
Small cape / ranch (1,000–1,300 sq ft) 13–18 squares $8,500–$11,500
Average colonial / split (1,500–2,000 sq ft) 20–28 squares $11,000–$16,000
Large colonial (2,500+ sq ft) 30–40+ squares $16,000–$22,000+
Two-family home varies $10,000–$18,000

(A “square” = 100 sq ft of roof surface. Your roof area is larger than your floor area because of pitch and overhangs.)

Why New Jersey costs more than the national average

NJ roof prices run roughly 20–40% above the national average, for real reasons: labor rates of $55–$95/hour vs. $45–$70 nationally, strict building codes, high dumping/disposal fees, and older housing stock that needs decking work. Any quote that ignores these realities is cutting a corner you’ll pay for later.

What moves your price

  • Tear-off layers. One layer off is standard. Two layers (very common on northern NJ homes last roofed in the 80s–90s) adds labor and disposal — and NJ code doesn’t allow a third layer, so layering over is not an option.
  • Decking condition. Plank decks on pre-1960s homes often need sections replaced. We quote per-sheet pricing up front (ask any contractor to do the same — in writing).
  • Pitch and complexity. Steep roofs, dormers, valleys, and chimneys add labor.
  • Shingle grade. 3-tab shingles run $7,000–$10,000 for an average home but carry shorter warranties and lower wind ratings. Architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ — what we install) are the NJ standard. Designer lines and metal run $20,000–$34,000+.
  • Ice & water barrier. NJ winters demand membrane at eaves and valleys. Skipping or skimping here is the classic lowball move.

Will insurance pay for your roof?

If your roof has wind or hail damage, your homeowner’s policy may cover replacement — and this is where we’re different from every other contractor who’ll quote you: our team spent almost a decade in public adjusting. We document damage the way carriers require, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your roof qualifies before you file. Storm damage? Start here: Storm Damage Repair.

Financing a roof in 2026

A needed roof shouldn’t wait on cash flow. We offer plans through Sunlight Financial and Foundation Finance, including 2-years-no-interest. Details: Financing.

How to compare quotes (the 60-second checklist)

  1. Full tear-off included, or layover? (Should be tear-off.)
  2. Decking replacement priced per sheet, in writing?
  3. Ice & water membrane — where exactly, and how far up the eaves?
  4. Manufacturer warranty (lifetime?) AND workmanship warranty (we give 10 years).
  5. Who’s actually on your roof — employees of the company, or a broker’s sub crew?

We roof homes throughout northern NJ, including Wayne, Clifton, Paterson, and Hackensack.

Frequently asked questions

What does a roof replacement cost in NJ in 2026?

Most single-family homes: $8,500–$22,000, typically $12,000–$14,000 for an average colonial with architectural shingles, full tear-off included.

Is it cheaper to roof over my old shingles?

Slightly cheaper today, much more expensive later — and only legal if you have a single layer now. We almost always recommend tear-off.

How long does a replacement take?

Most northern NJ homes: one day.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?

For storm damage, often yes — if documented properly. Our public-adjusting background is exactly for this. Free inspection first, claim advice included.
