The River Edge houses we work on.
River Edge counts about 4,590 housing units, and the median one went up in 1954 — in the postwar building boom. About 82% of the stock is pre-1980.
The five-inch aluminum on most of these homes went up long after the house did, sized for the roof as it was then. Re-pitching and adding a downspout solves most complaints on these houses without replacing anything.
River Edge was incorporated in 1894, 132 years ago. It was carved out of Midland Township.
What River Edge weather does to a house
River Edge sits in Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. It is also what pulls gutters off a fascia — ice loads a trough far beyond what water alone ever would.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Gutter work in River Edge typically runs $2,500 to $6,500. What moves a given house within that band is size, pitch and what is already on the roof — and with a median build year of 1954 and 82% of the stock built before 1980, River Edge sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
Yes — this work is permitted by River Edge's own construction office under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Handling the permit and the inspection is part of what we do, and it is already in the price.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 82% of homes in River Edge were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.
Most jobs run one to three days depending on the size of the house. River Edge is about 47 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
