What roofing in Neshanic Station actually involves.
Neshanic Station counts about 5,843 housing units, and the median one went up in 1986 — in the late 1970s and 1980s.
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.
Big lots and heavy tree cover produce two recurring problems here: north slopes that stay shaded and grow moss, and limb damage after every real storm.
Neshanic Station covers about 10 square miles and is home to roughly 15,140 people.
What we build against here
Somerset County is affluent suburbs and open country around the Somerset Hills, and Neshanic Station is part of it. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. 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 Neshanic Station 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 1986 and 34% of the stock built before 1980, Neshanic Station 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 Neshanic Station construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
