What we find on Farmingdale roofs.
Housing here dates to 1971 at the median, across roughly 596 units. Roughly 78% were standing before 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.
Farmingdale covers about 1 square miles and is home to roughly 1,449 people. Farmingdale has been its own borough since 1903. It was carved out of Howell Township.
Local conditions we build for
Farmingdale sits in Monmouth County — inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. 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.

“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 Farmingdale 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 1971 and 78% of the stock built before 1980, Farmingdale sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a roof in Farmingdale is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It changes what we look for. With roughly 78% of Farmingdale housing predating 1980, plank decking, stacked layers and improvised flashing are all common — so the inspection covers them and the written estimate reflects whatever is actually there.
One day, for the large majority of houses. The crew arrives at first light, strips the old roof, dries the deck in and finishes before dark. Farmingdale is about 10 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
