The Bridgewater houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1981 at the median, across roughly 16,975 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. Energy performance is a secondary benefit, and a real one on a large roof.
About 85% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most of what we quote goes to the person who will actually live under the roof. Financing comes up less often here than elsewhere in the state, though it is available either way. Bridgewater covers about 32 square miles and is home to roughly 46,268 people.
The conditions this work has to survive
Somerset County is affluent suburbs and open country around the Somerset Hills, and Bridgewater is part of it. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. 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. Metal is largely indifferent to it, which is a good part of why it outlasts asphalt by decades. Ground near Raritan River and North Branch Raritan River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

Metal roofing in Bridgewater typically runs $28,000 to $55,000. 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 1981 and 48% of the stock built before 1980, Bridgewater sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
