What we find on Holland roofs.
Holland counts about 1,825 housing units, and the median one went up in 1974 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 59% predate 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. Nearly every leak we chase on these houses traces back to a wall junction rather than the field of the roof.
Big lots and heavy tree cover produce two recurring problems here: north slopes that stay shaded and grow moss, and limb damage after every real storm.
With around 5,204 people spread across 24 square miles, properties here sit far apart — long driveways, mature trees and plenty of room to work. The township dates to 1874. It was carved out of Alexandria Township.
The conditions this work has to survive
This is Hunterdon County: rolling farmland and river towns, with real winter weather and long driveways. Holland sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. The code figure for Hunterdon County is 35 psf of ground snow load — a real number with real consequences. What actually damages houses is not the load but the ice dam that forms when a warm attic melts the underside of the snow and the cold eave freezes it again. The fix is not a bigger gutter; it is ice-and-water shield carried well past the interior wall line, and a ventilated attic that keeps the deck cold. Properties near Delaware 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 Holland 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 1974 and 59% of the stock built before 1980, Holland sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a roof in Holland is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It does. Hunterdon County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in a single day — crews start early, strip, dry-in and finish the same afternoon. Holland is about 46 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Delaware 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 Holland 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.
