What we find on Old Bridge roofs.
Housing here dates to 1972 at the median, across roughly 26,787 units. Something like 59% went up before 1980.
Roofs from this period step up and down across the house, so a single home can carry three or four separate planes meeting walls. 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.
Old Bridge covers about 41 square miles and is home to roughly 68,406 people. Old Bridge was incorporated in 1869, 157 years ago. It was carved out of South Amboy Township.
What we build against here
Old Bridge sits in Middlesex County — one of the busiest and most diverse counties in the state, built out in every decade since the war. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs 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. Properties near Laurence Harbor and Raritan Bay also sit lower and stay damper, and that shows up first at the roof edge and in the basement.

Straight answers.
Roofing in Old Bridge 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 1972 and 59% of the stock built before 1980, Old Bridge sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
