The Bordentown houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1982 at the median, across roughly 4,638 units. Something like 48% went up before 1980.
At this scale the arithmetic changes: a fifty-year roof replaces two more twenty-five-year ones. One metal roof instead of the two more asphalt roofs the house would otherwise need over the same period.
Metal suits the pitched single-family homes here; the flat sections on the multi-family stock are a different system entirely.
About 68% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof. Bordentown covers about 1 square miles and is home to roughly 12,120 people.
Local conditions we build for
This is Burlington County: the state's largest county by area, reaching from close-in suburbs out into the Pine Barrens. Bordentown sits in the sandy, pine-covered part of South Jersey. Unlike leaves, pine needles fall all year and pack tight. They sit in valleys and troughs holding damp against the roof surface indefinitely. Needles slide off metal rather than matting on it, which is a genuine maintenance saving under pine. Properties near Delaware River and Crosswicks Creek also sit lower and stay damper, and that shows up first at the roof edge and in the basement.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Metal roofing in Bordentown typically runs $18,000 to $35,000. 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 1982 and 48% of the stock built before 1980, Bordentown sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a metal roof come from the Bordentown construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves. Bordentown also has historic district review, which can add a step before the permit is issued — we handle that too.
The median Bordentown home dates to 1982.
Longer than an asphalt roof: two to four days for most houses, because every panel is measured, formed and seamed rather than nailed through the face. Bordentown is about 22 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Delaware River sit lower and stay damper, which speeds up moss and algae growth on shaded slopes and puts more demand on gutters and downspouts than a drier lot a mile away.
You pay when the work is done and you are satisfied with it — there is no deposit and no progress payment. Financing exists if you want it, at the same price.
