Lightning Construction handles roofing across Haworth, New Jersey — a Bergen County town of about 1,165 homes with a median build year of 1954 — veteran-owned, GAF-certified, no deposit and no change orders. Most Haworth projects run $14,000 to $35,000.
The Haworth houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1954 at the median, across roughly 1,165 units. Close to 82% of them predate 1980. A little over 31% were standing before 1940.
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.
Haworth covers about 2 square miles and is home to roughly 3,363 people. Haworth has been its own borough since 1904. It was carved out of Harrington Township.
The conditions this work has to survive
Haworth sits in Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. The mechanism is slow and cumulative: water enters a small defect, expands as it freezes, and leaves the defect slightly larger than it found it. 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 Haworth 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 1954 and 82% of the stock built before 1980, Haworth 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 Haworth construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Older houses hold more surprises, which is exactly why we look before we quote. Around 82% of the housing in Haworth is pre-1980, and that vintage often means decking or flashing work on top of the covering itself.
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. Haworth is about 50 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.
