Here's what most homeowners in Roxbury, Randolph, Denville, Rockaway, Mount Olive, and surrounding towns pay for a full roof replacement in 2026:

Prices reflect full tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, flashing, and installation. Morris County NJ labor and material costs as of November 2026.

Roofing is priced by the "square" — 100 square feet. A typical 2,000 sq ft Morris County colonial has roughly 22–28 squares of roof surface. Larger homes, steeper pitches, and complex roof lines all add cost.

A steep roof requires more safety equipment and takes longer to install. Anything above a 6/12 pitch typically adds 15–25% to labor costs.

NJ code allows a maximum of two layers of shingles. If your roof already has two layers, both must be torn off — adding $500–$1,500 in disposal costs.

Rotted or damaged roof decking must be replaced. We inspect decking during tear-off and replace damaged sections at cost — typically $75–$120 per sheet.

Chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys all require new flashing. A chimney re-flash typically adds $300–$600. Skylight flashing adds $200–$400 per skylight.

GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration are our most popular architectural shingles — all in the $8,500–$16,000 range for a typical Morris County home.

What is the best shingle for Morris County NJ weather? We recommend GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, or Owens Corning Duration — all Class 4 impact-resistant options. Impact-resistant shingles can reduce your homeowners insurance premium by 20–30%.

How do I know if I need a full replacement vs. a repair? If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is isolated, a repair may be right. If it's over 20 years old, has multiple leak points, or widespread granule loss, replacement is almost always the better investment. We'll tell you honestly which one you need.
