What we find on Neptune roofs.
Neptune counts about 2,228 housing units, and the median one went up in 1959 — in the postwar building boom. Close to 80% of them predate 1980.
These are small, simple roofs on small, simple houses, sheathed in planks and originally vented through the gable ends alone. Most have been re-roofed at least twice since, and second and third layers are common — which is why an honest estimate starts with how many layers are actually up there.
Neptune is home to about 4,606 people.
Local conditions we build for
Monmouth County is inland horse country on one side and the northern shore on the other, and Neptune is part of it. Being this close to open water sets the specification here, not just the installation method. Salt-laden air corrodes ordinary fasteners, drip edge and flashing from the underside where nobody looks, so we specify corrosion-resistant metal and stainless or coated fasteners as standard. Nor'easters do their damage at the edges — eaves, rakes and ridge — which is where high-wind nailing patterns and sealed starter courses earn their keep.

“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 Neptune 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 1959 and 80% of the stock built before 1980, Neptune 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.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a roof in Neptune is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
Yes, in two specific ways. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners because salt air attacks ordinary metal from underneath, and we use high-wind nailing patterns with sealed starter courses at the eaves and rakes, which is where coastal storms lift a roof first.
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. Neptune is about 16 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
No deposit, in Neptune 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.
