Call (201) 483-5924Note 01Do you need a permit to get your roof redone?
It depends on the building and the scope. A plain shingle re-roof on a one- or two-family house is treated differently from work that replaces decking or framing, or a roof on a larger building. The Construction Code Office at City Hall, 630 Avenue C, decides; the quote says which applies, and whoever does the work files it.
Note 02How often should a roof be replaced?
When it stops being repairable, not on a calendar. Asphalt shingles commonly give 15 to 20 years and torch-down flat roofs are reported at 15 to 25, but a roof is done when it leaks in several places, goes soft, or needs a new repair every season, and not before. On a row home the two roofs rarely reach that point in the same year.
Note 03How much should a 1200 sq ft roof cost?
Published per-square-foot figures for an asphalt shingle roof run $5.21 to $6.82 a square foot installed, which puts 1,200 square feet of roof at roughly $6,250 to $8,200 before extra layers, decking and the permit. In Bayonne, the pitched front of a two-family row home alone is estimated at $8,000 to $13,000.
