Roofing in Marlboro, house by house.
The typical home across the township was built in 1987, and of the 14,716 housing units here the median sits squarely in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Plywood decking, three-tab shingles and an attached garage are the constants on housing from these years. These are the most straightforward full replacements we do, provided the garage junction gets proper flashing.
Marlboro covers about 30 square miles and is home to roughly 41,648 people. Marlboro has been its own township since 1848. It was carved out of Freehold Township.
What we build against here
Marlboro sits in Monmouth County — inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other. 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.

Straight answers.
Roofing in Marlboro 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 1987 and 31% of the stock built before 1980, Marlboro sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
