The Medford Lakes houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1960 at the median, across roughly 1,546 units. Roughly 97% were standing before 1980.
This is split-level and bi-level country, and every change in level is another roof-to-wall intersection that has to be flashed properly. Step flashing that was face-nailed or caulked instead of woven into the courses is the most common source of leaks we find on homes of this vintage.
Medford Lakes covers about 1 square miles and is home to roughly 4,297 people. The borough dates to 1939. It was carved out of Medford Township.
Local conditions we build for
This is Burlington County: the state's largest county by area, reaching from close-in suburbs out into the Pine Barrens. Medford Lakes sits in the sandy, pine-covered part of South Jersey. Unlike leaves, pine needles fall all year and pack tight. They sit in valleys and troughs holding damp against the roof surface indefinitely. That constant damp is what shortens shingle life here well before the warranty says it should.

Medford Lakes pricing, and what moves it.
Most roofing projects in Medford Lakes land between $9,000 and $22,000. Most jobs here come in below the midpoint.

“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 Medford Lakes 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 1960 and 97% of the stock built before 1980, Medford Lakes 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.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a roof come from the Medford Lakes construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
Not harder, but less predictable. About 97% of homes in Medford Lakes were built before 1980, and on houses that age we regularly find board decking, more than one layer of shingle, or flashing that was never done properly. We inspect for all three before quoting.
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. Medford Lakes is about 38 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Medford Lakes 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.
