Metal roofing in Parsippany, house by house.
Parsippany counts about 23,622 housing units, and the median one went up in 1969 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. Close to 72% of them predate 1980.
Metal on these houses means more cutting and more flashing at every change of level. The detailing is more work, but it addresses the exact failure these houses are prone to.
Metal suits the pitched single-family homes here; the flat sections on the multi-family stock are a different system.
Owner-occupancy runs around 60% in Parsippany, 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. Parsippany covers about 25 square miles and is home to roughly 56,397 people.
The conditions this work has to survive
Parsippany sits in Morris County — wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey. This is the high, cold corner of New Jersey. Under New Jersey's construction code Morris County is designed for 35 pounds per square foot of ground snow, among the highest figures in the state. The weight itself is rarely the problem; the problem is meltwater refreezing at a cold eave and backing up under the shingles. Metal sheds snow rather than holding it, which is a real advantage here — and the reason snow guards belong over doorways, walkways and driveways.

“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 Parsippany 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 1969 and 72% of the stock built before 1980, Parsippany 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 Parsippany is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It does. Morris County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
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. Parsippany is about 40 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes — Lake Hiawatha, Mount Tabor and Whippany are part of the same municipality as Parsippany, and our crews cover the whole of it at the same pricing.
