Roofing in Somers Point, house by house.
Somers Point counts about 5,695 housing units, and the median one went up in 1969 — through the 1960s and early 1970s. Roughly 73% were standing before 1980.
Plywood sheathing arrived in these years, but so did the multi-level roofline that makes these houses leak in predictable places. Done properly, those junctions stop being a maintenance item; done with sealant, they come back every few years.
The mix of single-family houses and two- and three-family homes here means both pitched and low-slope roofs on the same block, and the two are genuinely different jobs with different materials and prices.
Somers Point covers about 5 square miles and is home to roughly 10,515 people. The borough dates to 1886. It was carved out of Egg Harbor Township.
The conditions this work has to survive
Atlantic County is the barrier-island beach towns and the fast-growing mainland behind them, and Somers Point is part of it. Somers Point sits on the coastal side of Atlantic County, and that changes what goes on the roof rather than just how it is fastened. The failure starts underneath, on the metal: fasteners and flashing corrode where they cannot be seen, years before anything shows on the surface. Wind then finds the weakened edge. That is why the specification here is corrosion-resistant metal throughout and a sealed, high-wind-nailed perimeter.

“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 Somers Point 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 1969 and 73% of the stock built before 1980, Somers Point 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 Somers Point'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.
Yes, in two specific ways. We use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners because salt air attacks ordinary metal from underneath, and we use high-wind nailing patterns with sealed starter courses at the eaves and rakes, which is where coastal storms lift a roof first.
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in a single day — crews start early, strip, dry-in and finish the same afternoon. Somers Point is about 68 miles from our Manalapan base, well inside the area our crews cover daily.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here — owner-occupancy in Somers Point runs about 52%, so most buildings are owned by someone other than the occupant. We quote per building, schedule around tenants, and the no-deposit terms are the same.
