What we find on Randolph roofs.
Housing here dates to 1977 at the median, across roughly 9,349 units. About 56% predate 1980.
Plywood decking, three-tab shingles and an attached garage are the constants on housing from these years. These are the most straightforward full replacements we do, provided the garage junction gets proper flashing.
Randolph covers about 21 square miles and is home to roughly 26,604 people. The town sits at around 994 feet, high enough that winter arrives earlier here than it does at the shore. The township dates to 1806. It was carved out of Mendham Township. Two centuries of building means the housing stock here is genuinely mixed, and no two streets are the same job.
What we build against here
Morris County is wooded hills, corporate corridors and some of the highest ground in New Jersey, and Randolph is part of it. Randolph sits in the part of the state that actually gets winter. Under New Jersey's construction code Morris County is designed for 35 pounds per square foot of ground snow, among the highest figures in the state. The weight itself is rarely the problem; the problem is meltwater refreezing at a cold eave and backing up under the shingles. 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. Ground near South Branch Raritan River and Whippany River holds water longer, which puts more demand on drainage than a drier lot half a mile away.

“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 Randolph 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 1977 and 56% of the stock built before 1980, Randolph sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
Yes — this work is permitted by Randolph's own construction office under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. Handling the permit and the inspection is part of what we do, and it is already in the price.
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. Randolph is about 40 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
It is a real factor. At around 994 feet, Randolph 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.
No deposit, in Randolph 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.
We are a veteran-owned NJ contractor — HIC 13VH12437000, GAF-certified, 4.9 stars from 264 reviews — working throughout Morris County, including Mine Hill, Dover and Rockaway. You pay nothing up front and the quoted number is the number.
