What we find on Fair Haven roofs.
Housing here dates to 1955 at the median, across roughly 2,132 units. Roughly 74% were standing before 1980.
These are small, simple roofs on small, simple houses, sheathed in planks and originally vented through the gable ends alone. Most have been re-roofed at least twice since, and second and third layers are common — which is why an honest estimate starts with how many layers are actually up there.
Fair Haven covers about 2 square miles and is home to roughly 6,170 people. The borough dates to 1912. It was carved out of Shrewsbury Township.
What we build against here
Fair Haven sits in Monmouth County — inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other. Fair Haven sits on the coastal side of Monmouth County, and that changes what goes on the roof rather than just how it is fastened. The failure starts underneath, on the metal: fasteners and flashing corrode where they cannot be seen, years before anything shows on the surface. Wind then finds the weakened edge. That is why the specification here is corrosion-resistant metal throughout and a sealed, high-wind-nailed perimeter.

“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 Fair Haven 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 1955 and 74% of the stock built before 1980, Fair Haven 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.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the Fair Haven 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.
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in a single day — crews start early, strip, dry-in and finish the same afternoon. Fair Haven is about 17 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
You pay when the work is done and you are satisfied with it — there is no deposit and no progress payment. Financing exists if you want it, at the same price.
