The Allenhurst houses we work on.
The typical home in Allenhurst was built in 1938, and of the 346 housing units here the median sits squarely before World War II. Close to 91% of them predate 1980. A little over 61% were standing before 1940.
Framing from this era means plank decking, high pitches, and rooflines with far more intersections than anything built since. Expect decking repair to be part of an honest estimate here, not an extra discovered on day two.
Allenhurst covers about 0 square miles and is home to roughly 376 people. Allenhurst has been its own borough since 1897. It was carved out of Ocean Township.
The conditions this work has to survive
Allenhurst sits in Monmouth County — inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other. Being this close to open water sets the specification here, not just the installation method. Two things do the damage here and both are edge conditions. Salt attacks the metal — fasteners, drip edge, flashing — from the hidden side, and coastal wind lifts whatever the salt has already loosened. Corrosion-resistant components and a properly sealed eave and rake are the whole defense.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Roofing in Allenhurst typically runs $25,000 to $60,000. 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 1938 and 91% of the stock built before 1980, Allenhurst sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the Allenhurst construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Yes, in two specific ways. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners because salt air attacks ordinary metal from underneath, and we use high-wind nailing patterns with sealed starter courses at the eaves and rakes, which is where coastal storms lift a roof first.
A single day covers most homes here — tear-off, deck repair, dry-in and the new roof, start to finish. Allenhurst is about 18 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 Allenhurst runs about 52%, 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.
Nothing up front. We finish the job in Allenhurst, you look at it, then you pay. Financing is available and does not change what we quoted.
