Roof Replacement in Roosevelt Manor, Cranford: what actually fails
Replacing a Roosevelt Manor roof means stripping a steep, cut-up Victorian that has usually been re-roofed before, then rebuilding every valley and dormer flashing from new. Those details are where a workmanship warranty earns its keep, so its term goes on the quote beside the shingle maker's.
Cranford's 1894 plan on the north side by the Rahway River, built up through the 1890s and 1900s with Victorian houses and summer mansions, and recommended, though not designated, as a historic district.
- Step flashing up every dormer cheek
- Valleys where steep planes meet
- Chimney counter-flashing
- Attic damp: leak, or moisture from below

Call (908) 503-0136Note 01Do you need a permit to get your roof redone?
It depends on the building. New Jersey treats a re-roof on a detached one- or two-family house differently from work on attached homes, condos or larger buildings, and Cranford's own fee schedule lists roofing work. The Building Department at 8 Springfield Avenue decides for your house; the written quote says which applies, and whoever does the work files anything needed.
Note 02How often should a roof be replaced?
When it stops being repairable, not on a calendar. Asphalt shingles are commonly given 15 to 30 years, but a roof is done when it leaks in several places, goes soft, or needs a new repair every season. On Cranford's older houses, how the last re-roof was done often matters more than the year it was done.
Note 03How much should a 1200 sq ft roof cost?
National figures for asphalt shingle installed run $5.21 to $6.82 a square foot, which puts 1,200 square feet of roof at roughly $6,250 to $8,200 before extra layers, decking and staging. A full system with a redeck and a 50-year warranty, at the $14 to $18 a New Jersey roofer quoted, would be $16,800 to $21,600.
