How much does a roof replacement cost in NJ?
Most full replacements in Central New Jersey run between $9,000 and $25,000, with typical single-family homes landing around $12,000–$18,000. The exact number depends on roof size, pitch, material, and decking condition. Our free inspection ends with a written, itemized estimate — see our full 2026 cost guide on the blog.
Is the inspection really free? What’s the catch?
Really free, no catch, no obligation. We inspect every slope, valley, and flashing, document everything with photos, and hand you a written report — even if the conclusion is "your roof is fine for now." We earn business by being the company that told you the truth.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for my new roof?
If your roof has storm damage — wind, hail, or fallen trees — very possibly yes. Many homeowners end up paying only their deductible. Our part: we document the damage thoroughly, with photos and a detailed report, so it is easier for your insurance company to review and approve your claim.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements are completed in one to two days. Our crew arrives in the morning, tears off to the decking, installs the complete new system, and leaves your property cleaner than we found it — several of our Google reviews mention exactly that.
What is the Hive Shield Warranty™?
Double protection: a 50-year material warranty from Owens Corning (we are certified installers, so the full manufacturer warranty applies) plus our own 20-year workmanship guarantee. You receive the signed certificate at your final walkthrough.
Do you tear off the old roof or install over it?
Always a complete tear-off, down to the decking. Installing over old shingles hides rot, voids warranties, and shortens the new roof’s life. We inspect the plywood underneath, photograph it, and replace only what’s actually damaged — with your approval.
What roofing brands do you install?
Our standard system is Owens Corning architectural shingles — we are Owens Corning certified installers. We’ve also completed GAF and CertainTeed projects when a homeowner or insurance scope calls for them.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — flexible payment plans designed for families, so an urgent roof doesn’t have to wait for a perfect budget. Ask during your free inspection and we’ll walk you through the options.

We’re headquartered in Somerville, NJ and serve homeowners across all of New Jersey — from our home base in Somerset and Hunterdon counties (Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Raritan, Manville, Branchburg, Bound Brook) to North Jersey towns like Clifton, Wayne, Paterson, and beyond.
