The Ho Ho Kus houses we work on.
Ho Ho Kus counts about 1,500 housing units, and the median one went up in 1957 — in the postwar building boom. Close to 80% of them predate 1980.
These are small, simple roofs on small, simple houses, sheathed in planks and originally vented through the gable ends alone. The work is usually straightforward once the old layers are off; getting them off is what takes the day.
Ho Ho Kus covers about 2 square miles and is home to roughly 4,270 people. The borough dates to 1905. It was carved out of Orvil Township.
Local conditions we build for
Bergen County is New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills, and Ho Ho Kus is part of it. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs 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. Properties near Saddle River also sit lower and stay damper, and that shows up first at the roof edge and in the basement.

“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 Ho Ho Kus 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 1957 and 80% of the stock built before 1980, Ho Ho Kus 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 — this work is permitted by Ho Ho Kus'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 80% of homes in Ho Ho Kus 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. Ho Ho Kus is about 51 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Saddle River sit lower and stay damper, which speeds up moss and algae growth on shaded slopes and puts more demand on gutters and downspouts than a drier lot a mile away.
No deposit, in Ho Ho Kus 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.
