Roofing in Convent Station, NJ
Lightning Construction handles roofing across Convent Station, New Jersey — a Morris County town of about 8,650 homes with a median build year of 1968 — veteran-owned, GAF-certified, no deposit and no change orders. Most Convent Station projects run $14,000 to $35,000.
The Convent Station houses we work on.
The typical home across the township was built in 1968, and of the 8,650 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 65% predate 1980.
Plywood sheathing arrived in these years, but so did the multi-level roofline that makes these houses leak in predictable places. Done properly, those junctions stop being a maintenance item; done with sealant, they come back every few years.
Convent Station is home to about 23,424 people.
Local conditions we build for
Morris County is wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey, and Convent Station is part of it. Up here the design problem is weight and ice, not wind. 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. The fix is not a bigger gutter; it is ice-and-water shield carried well past the interior wall line, and a ventilated attic that keeps the deck cold.

“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 Convent Station 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 1968 and 65% of the stock built before 1980, Convent Station sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes — this work is permitted by Convent Station's own construction office under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Handling the permit and the inspection is part of what we do, and it is already in the price.
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.
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in a single day — crews start early, strip, dry-in and finish the same afternoon. Convent Station is about 36 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
