What we find on Netcong roofs.
The typical home in Netcong was built in 1954, and of the 1,941 housing units here the median sits squarely in the postwar building boom. About 87% of the stock is pre-1980. Around 29% of homes here predate 1940 entirely.
The Capes and ranches from this stretch went up fast and plain: one-by-six plank decking, a single layer of three-tab, gable vents and little else. The work is usually straightforward once the old layers are off; getting them off is what takes the day.
Netcong covers about 1 square miles and is home to roughly 3,659 people. The town sits at around 906 feet, high enough that winter arrives earlier here than it does at the shore. Netcong has been its own borough since 1894. It was carved out of Mount Olive Township.
Local conditions we build for
This is Morris County: wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey. Up here the design problem is weight and ice, not wind. The code figure for Morris County is 35 psf of ground snow load — a real number with real consequences. What actually damages houses is not the load but the ice dam that forms when a warm attic melts the underside of the snow and the cold eave freezes it again. The fix is not a bigger gutter; it is ice-and-water shield carried well past the interior wall line, and a ventilated attic that keeps the deck cold.

“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 Netcong 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 1954 and 87% of the stock built before 1980, Netcong 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 Netcong construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It does. Morris County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in a single day — crews start early, strip, dry-in and finish the same afternoon. Netcong is about 46 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
It is a real factor. At around 906 feet, Netcong is exposed enough that damage shows up at the edges — lifted tabs along the rakes and ridge caps that let go first. We use high-wind nailing patterns and sealed ridge details as standard here.
Nothing up front. We finish the job in Netcong, you look at it, then you pay. Financing is available and does not change what we quoted.
