What we find on Atlantic Highlands roofs.
Atlantic Highlands counts about 2,165 housing units, and the median one went up in 1960 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 72% of the stock is pre-1980. Around 27% of homes here predate 1940 entirely.
This is split-level and bi-level country, and every change in level is another roof-to-wall intersection that has to be flashed properly. Step flashing that was face-nailed or caulked instead of woven into the courses is the most common source of leaks we find on homes of this vintage.
Atlantic Highlands covers about 5 square miles and is home to roughly 4,410 people. Atlantic Highlands was incorporated in 1887, 139 years ago. It was carved out of Middletown Township.
Local conditions we build for
Monmouth County is inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other, and Atlantic Highlands is part of it. Salt air is the governing condition in Atlantic Highlands, and it decides materials before anything else does. 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 Atlantic Highlands typically runs $14,000 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 1960 and 72% of the stock built before 1980, Atlantic Highlands sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a roof in Atlantic Highlands is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
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.
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in a single day — crews start early, strip, dry-in and finish the same afternoon. Atlantic Highlands is about 18 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
