Metal roofing in Englewood, house by house.
The typical home in Englewood was built in 1959, and of the 11,898 housing units here the median sits squarely in the postwar building boom. Something like 66% went up before 1980.
These roofs are simple enough that metal goes on efficiently, which keeps the labor side of the price down. Very little cutting is where the labor cost in metal actually lives, and these roofs need almost none.
Metal suits the pitched single-family homes here; the flat sections on the multi-family stock are a different system.
Owner-occupancy runs around 54% in Englewood, so a good share of the work here is for landlords and small property owners. Those jobs get the same written number and the same crews; they just tend to move faster. Englewood covers about 5 square miles and is home to roughly 29,638 people.
What Englewood weather does to a house
Englewood sits in Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. Metal is largely indifferent to it, which is a good part of why it outlasts asphalt by decades.

“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 Englewood 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 1959 and 66% of the stock built before 1980, Englewood sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a metal roof come from the Englewood construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 66% of homes in Englewood 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.
Budget two to four days. Metal is formed on site and fitted panel by panel, which is slower than laying shingle courses and is why it lasts. Englewood is about 46 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here — owner-occupancy in Englewood runs about 54%, so most buildings are owned by someone other than the occupant. We quote per building, schedule around tenants, and the no-deposit terms are the same.
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.
We are a veteran-owned NJ contractor — HIC 13VH12437000, GAF-certified, 4.9 stars from 264 reviews — working throughout Bergen County, including Bergenfield, Fort Lee and Teaneck. You pay nothing up front and the quoted number is the number.
