The Lavallette houses we work on.
The typical home in Lavallette was built in 1969, and of the 2,930 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. Something like 60% went up 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.
Lavallette covers about 1 square miles and is home to roughly 1,865 people. At roughly 3 feet above sea level, drainage matters as much as the roof itself. Lavallette was incorporated in 1887, 139 years ago. It was carved out of Toms River Township.
What Lavallette weather does to a house
Ocean County is barrier islands, bayfront neighborhoods and large planned communities inland, and Lavallette is part of it. Lavallette sits on the coastal side of Ocean County, and that changes what goes on the roof rather than just how it is fastened. The failure starts underneath, on the metal: fasteners and flashing corrode where they cannot be seen, years before anything shows on the surface. Wind then finds the weakened edge. That is why the specification here is corrosion-resistant metal throughout and a sealed, high-wind-nailed perimeter.

“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 Lavallette 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 1969 and 60% of the stock built before 1980, Lavallette 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 Lavallette'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.
Yes, in two specific ways. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners because salt air attacks ordinary metal from underneath, and we use high-wind nailing patterns with sealed starter courses at the eaves and rakes, which is where coastal storms lift a roof first.
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. Lavallette is about 26 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Lavallette 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.
