What we find on Cliffwood roofs.
The typical home across the township was built in 1970, and of the 8,219 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. Something like 60% went up before 1980.
Roofs from this period step up and down across the house, so a single home can carry three or four separate planes meeting walls. Done properly, those junctions stop being a maintenance item; done with sealant, they come back every few years.
Cliffwood is home to about 19,332 people.
Local conditions we build for
This is Monmouth County: inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. Flashing and underlayment are what stop it, and both are invisible once the job is done — which is exactly why they get skipped. Ground near Matawan Creek 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.
Roofing in Cliffwood typically runs $9,000 to $22,000. 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 1970 and 60% of the stock built before 1980, Cliffwood sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.

Indirectly, yes. Properties near Matawan Creek sit lower and stay damper, which speeds up moss and algae growth on shaded slopes and puts more demand on gutters and downspouts than a drier lot a mile away.
