The Moonachie houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1966 at the median, across roughly 1,124 units. Close to 72% of them predate 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. Nearly every leak we chase on these houses traces back to a wall junction rather than the field of the roof.
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.
Moonachie covers about 2 square miles and is home to roughly 3,126 people. At roughly 3 feet above sea level, drainage matters as much as the roof itself. Moonachie has been its own borough since 1910. It was carved out of Lodi Township.
Local conditions we build for
Moonachie sits in Bergen County — New Jersey's most populous county, running from the Hudson palisades out to Ramapo foothills. The weather that damages houses here is not dramatic — it is the freeze-thaw cycle, repeating all winter. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. Flashing and underlayment are what stop it, and both are invisible once the job is done — which is exactly why they get skipped.

“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 Moonachie 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 1966 and 72% of the stock built before 1980, Moonachie 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 Moonachie 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 72% of homes in Moonachie 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. Moonachie is about 41 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Moonachie 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.
