The Harrington Park houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1962 at the median, across roughly 1,818 units. About 81% of the stock is pre-1980.
Plywood sheathing arrived in these years, but so did the multi-level roofline that makes these houses leak in predictable places. 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.
Harrington Park covers about 2 square miles and is home to roughly 4,954 people. Harrington Park has been its own borough since 1904. It was carved out of Harrington Township.
What Harrington Park weather does to a house
Bergen County is New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills, and Harrington Park is part of it. 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 Harrington Park 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 1962 and 81% of the stock built before 1980, Harrington Park sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
Yes — this work is permitted by Harrington Park'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.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 81% of homes in Harrington Park were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.
A single day covers most homes here — tear-off, deck repair, dry-in and the new roof, start to finish. Harrington Park is about 52 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Harrington Park or anywhere else we work. Nothing is due until the job is finished and you have walked it with us. Financing is available if you would rather spread the cost, and it does not change the quoted price.
