The Lakewood houses we work on.
The typical home across the township was built in 1994, and of the 33,812 housing units here the median sits squarely in the 1990s and early 2000s.
These larger, multi-gable roofs look striking in standing seam, and the gable detailing is what separates a fifty-year metal roof from one that leaks in ten. Color and profile choices matter more here because so much of the roof is seen.
Metal suits the pitched single-family homes here; the flat sections on the multi-family stock are a different system.
Owner-occupancy runs around 52% in Lakewood, 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. Lakewood covers about 25 square miles and is home to roughly 139,019 people.
Local conditions we build for
Ocean County is barrier islands, bayfront neighborhoods and large planned communities inland, and Lakewood is part of it. This is pitch pine country, and that is hard on a roof in a specific way. 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. Ground near Metedeconk River and Toms River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

“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 Lakewood 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 1994, 35% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, Lakewood sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a metal roof in Lakewood is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
The median Lakewood home dates to 1994.
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. Lakewood is about 16 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
About 42% of homes in Lakewood were built since 2000, and that is exactly the age at which builder-grade shingles, flashing and gutters start to fail. A roof can be twenty years old and still be original.
No deposit, in Lakewood or anywhere else we work. Nothing is due until the job is finished and you have walked it with us. Financing is available if you would rather spread the cost, and it does not change the quoted price.
