The Hazlet houses we work on.
The typical home across the township was built in 1965, and of the 7,957 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. Roughly 78% were standing before 1980.
Roofs from this period step up and down across the house, so a single home can carry three or four separate planes meeting walls. Done properly, those junctions stop being a maintenance item; done with sealant, they come back every few years.
Hazlet covers about 6 square miles and is home to roughly 20,470 people. The township dates to 1848. It was carved out of Middletown Township.
What Hazlet weather does to a house
Monmouth County is inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other, and Hazlet 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 Hazlet 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 1965 and 78% of the stock built before 1980, Hazlet 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.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a roof in Hazlet 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 Hazlet 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. Hazlet is about 13 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Hazlet 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.
