Roofing in Lincoln Park, house by house.
Lincoln Park counts about 4,050 housing units, and the median one went up in 1975 — in the late 1970s and 1980s. About 57% predate 1980.
Homes from this period were the first around here sheathed in plywood or OSB, and the last to be roofed almost universally in 20- and 25-year three-tab. These are the most straightforward full replacements we do, provided the garage junction gets proper flashing.
Single-family houses sit alongside two- and three-families on the same streets, which means pitched and low-slope roofs a few doors apart. They are different jobs with different materials and different prices.
Lincoln Park covers about 7 square miles and is home to roughly 10,957 people. Lincoln Park was incorporated in 1922, 104 years ago. It was carved out of Pequannock Township.
What Lincoln Park weather does to a house
Morris County is wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey, and Lincoln Park is part of it. Lincoln Park sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Morris County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under the state's construction code — more than double what most of the state is built for. Snow that sits, melts against a warm attic and refreezes at the cold eave is what causes ice dams, and ice dams are what put water into ceilings on houses whose roofs are otherwise fine. 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. Ground near Pompton River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

“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 Lincoln Park 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 1975 and 57% of the stock built before 1980, Lincoln Park sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the Lincoln Park construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It does. Morris 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.
A single day covers most homes here — tear-off, deck repair, dry-in and the new roof, start to finish. Lincoln Park is about 44 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Indirectly, yes. Properties near Pompton 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.
You pay when the work is done and you are satisfied with it — there is no deposit and no progress payment. Financing exists if you want it, at the same price.
