Roofing Contractor in Clifton, NJ — Replacement, Repair & Storm Damage
Roofing Solutions Made Simple
High Quality Roof Work in Clifton, NJ
Clifton sits right next door to our Wayne headquarters — a 10-minute drive down Route 46 — which makes it one of the towns where we’ve replaced the most roofs. From the capes and split-levels of Allwood and Athenia to the older colonials around Botany Village and Lakeview, we know what Clifton roofs are made of, what they cost to replace, and what goes wrong with them.
What We See on Clifton Roofs
Most of Clifton’s housing went up between the 1940s and 1960s, and that generation of homes brings three problems we deal with every week. Layered shingles: many Clifton roofs were layered-over instead of torn off decades ago — NJ code allows a maximum of two layers, so if you have two already, your replacement requires a full tear-off, and we price that honestly up front. Plank decking: pre-1960s homes here have plank (not plywood) roof decks whose boards shrink and split, so we quote per-sheet decking replacement transparently. Built-in gutters: common in Clifton’s older sections, they rot from the inside and leak behind the fascia — we reframe and convert them to modern seamless gutters during replacement.
Roof Replacement Cost in Clifton
Most Clifton asphalt shingle replacements fall between $8,500 and $16,000 depending on size, layers, and decking condition. We offer financing (including 2-years-no-interest) and free drone inspections, so you get an exact written number without anyone walking on your roof. And when nor’easters and summer wind storms strip shingles — we see damage clusters around Main Ave and the Lakeview border after every major event — our years of hands-on insurance claim experience mean we document the damage the way insurance carriers require, and tell you honestly whether a claim is justified.

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. -
I highly recommend Simple Roofing to anyone out there looking for a contractor to replace a new roof. I will also recommend my friends and family for their roofing projects.

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.
