The Peapack houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1970 at the median, across roughly 996 units. Something like 65% went up before 1980. Around 32% of homes here predate 1940 entirely.
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. Done properly, those junctions stop being a maintenance item; done with sealant, they come back every few years.
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.
With around 2,571 people spread across 6 square miles, properties here sit far apart — long driveways, mature trees and plenty of room to work. Peapack has been its own borough since 1912.
Local conditions we build for
This is Somerset County: affluent suburbs and open country around the Somerset Hills. 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.

“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 Peapack 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 1970 and 65% of the stock built before 1980, Peapack 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 Peapack 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 65% of homes in Peapack 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. Peapack is about 33 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
