Why two quotes differ.
On a roof, the biggest cost drivers are tear-off versus a layover, the shingle line and its warranty, how much rotted decking gets replaced, ice-and-water shield coverage, attic ventilation, and whether flashing is replaced or reused. The cheapest quote often skips the parts that keep the roof from leaking at year ten, which is why a written scope matters: it lets you compare quotes on the same work.
Common cost questions.
- How much does a new roof cost in New Jersey?
- Most New Jersey asphalt-shingle roof replacements run roughly $8,000 to $18,000 for an average single-family home, depending on size, roof pitch, how many old layers come off, and whether any decking needs replacing. Standing-seam metal and slate cost more. Flat-roof (EPDM or TPO) replacements typically run $6,000 to $16,000. These are market ranges; an exact price comes from a free inspection.
- How much does it cost to repair a roof leak in New Jersey?
- Most single-leak roof repairs in New Jersey run roughly $400 to $1,500, and larger flashing, valley, or multi-point work can reach $2,500. If the roof is under about 15 years old and the leak is at a specific flashing, boot, or valley, a targeted repair is usually the right call over a full replacement.
- How much does a chimney rebuild cost in New Jersey?
- A chimney rebuild above the roofline in New Jersey typically runs roughly $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the course count, brick match, and whether a new liner and flashing are included. A taller or near-full rebuild can run $4,000 to $15,000. A repair or repointing job, when the brick below is still sound, runs $500 to $3,000.
- What makes one roofing quote higher than another?
- Real differences usually come down to tear-off versus going over the old roof, the shingle line and warranty, how much rotted decking gets replaced, ice-and-water shield coverage, ventilation work, and whether flashing is replaced or reused. The cheapest quote often skips the parts that keep the roof from leaking at year ten. A written scope lets you compare quotes on the same work.
- Does Landstar charge for an estimate?
- No. Inspections and estimates are free, most customers get a written estimate the same day as the inspection, and financing options are available. Landstar gives you an exact written price after seeing the roof, never a number over the phone.
