What we find on Lebanon roofs.
Lebanon counts about 2,614 housing units, and the median one went up in 1974 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 62% 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. Done properly, those junctions stop being a maintenance item; done with sealant, they come back every few years.
Lebanon covers about 1 square miles and is home to roughly 6,234 people. Lebanon was incorporated in 1926, 100 years ago. It was carved out of Clinton Township.
What we build against here
This is Hunterdon County: rolling farmland and river towns, with real winter weather and long driveways. This is the high, cold corner of New Jersey. Under New Jersey's construction code Hunterdon County is designed for 35 pounds per square foot of ground snow, among the highest figures in the state. The weight itself is rarely the problem; the problem is meltwater refreezing at a cold eave and backing up under the shingles. 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.

Lebanon pricing, and what moves it.
Most roofing projects in Lebanon land between $9,000 and $22,000. Most jobs here come in below the midpoint. What pushes one higher is almost always something we can see before quoting — extra layers, a steep pitch, or soft decking. For context, the median home in Lebanon is valued at about $490,000. The number on your estimate is the number you pay — we do not write change orders.
Housing figures are American Community Survey 2024 five-year estimates for Lebanon township and ground snow load is from New Jersey DCA Bulletin 19-1.

“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 Lebanon 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 62% of the stock built before 1980, Lebanon sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
Yes — this work is permitted by Lebanon'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.
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.
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. Lebanon is about 36 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
