Roofing & Siding Contractors in New Jersey
Licensed roofing and siding contractors serving Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Camden, Atlantic City, and communities statewide. New Jersey's combination of Sandy's 2012 historic coastal devastation, nor'easter snow and wind, hot humid summers, and one of the nation's most densely populated and extensively developed housing markets creates year-round demand for exterior contractors across the entire state.
New Jersey Roofing — Hurricane Sandy's $30 Billion Devastation, Nor'easters, Coastal Exposure, and the Nation's Most Densely Developed State
New Jersey's roofing market is defined by two converging factors: the most devastating single storm event in the state's recorded history (Hurricane Sandy, October 2012) and the extraordinary density of its housing stock — New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the nation, with 9.3 million people in 7,354 square miles. Hurricane Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey on October 29, 2012 as a post-tropical cyclone with winds of 80 mph and a catastrophic 9.2-foot storm surge that struck the Jersey Shore communities — Seaside Heights, Toms River, Long Branch, Asbury Park, Point Pleasant Beach — simultaneously with coastal flooding in northern New Jersey and storm surge in Newark Bay and the Raritan and Passaic river valleys. Total New Jersey damage exceeded $30 billion; 37,000 homes were destroyed or made uninhabitable; and the roofing and exterior reconstruction market in coastal New Jersey continued for 3–5 years post-Sandy. New Jersey's nor'easter exposure drives 4–6 significant winter storms annually: the February 2010 Snowmageddon dropped 20–28 inches across the state; the January 2016 Jonas storm dropped 22–29 inches in Central and South Jersey; and Nor'easters produce 60–80 mph gusts along the coast annually. New Jersey's summer humidity (one of the most humid regions in the US) drives algae and moss growth on roof surfaces. The state's housing spans dense urban cores (Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Camden) with older rowhouse stock to extensive suburban and exurban development across all 21 counties.

Frequently Asked Questions — New Jersey
What damage did Hurricane Sandy cause to New Jersey roofing?
Sandy's October 29, 2012 landfall near Brigantine, NJ produced a catastrophic combination of wind damage and storm surge that overwhelmed the Jersey Shore's entire barrier island chain. Seaside Heights, Lavallette, Toms River, Brick, Point Pleasant Beach, and the Barnegat Bay communities lost tens of thousands of homes to either direct surge inundation or wind damage. Many of the barrier island homes were total losses requiring complete rebuild. Sandy's surge also reached inland communities via Newark Bay and the Raritan, Passaic, and Hackensack river valleys, flooding parts of Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City, and Sayreville. Roofing replacement and exterior reconstruction in coastal New Jersey ran at peak capacity from 2013 through 2016.
What nor'easters have hit New Jersey hardest?
Major nor'easters in New Jersey roofing history include: February 2010 Snowmageddon (20–28 inches statewide); January 2016 Jonas (22–29 inches central and south NJ, 27 inches in Cape May — the state's all-time 24-hour snowfall record in some locations); December 2010 (20+ inches in a single event); and the March 1993 Superstorm (20–30 inches combined with coastal surge). The 2010 Snowmageddon events caused widespread flat-roof failures in Newark's commercial stock and residential collapses in older Trenton and Camden row-home neighborhoods.
Does New Jersey have special roofing requirements for Shore properties?
Yes. New Jersey's CAFRA (Coastal Area Facility Review Act) zone and FEMA's flood zone designations impose specific building requirements on coastal construction. In the V-Zone (coastal high hazard) and coastal AE zones that cover the barrier islands and much of the Jersey Shore, roofing and siding must meet enhanced wind resistance standards (typically 130+ mph) and comply with IBC coastal construction requirements. Post-Sandy, New Jersey also adopted elevated base flood elevations for reconstruction, which affects roof pitch and drainage design. Many Shore communities (Stone Harbor, Avalon, Cape May, Beach Haven) have also adopted local historic district requirements that govern exterior materials.
