Our Work in Lakewood
New Roof on a Georgian Colonial Near Route 9
A 2008-built Georgian colonial along the Route 9 corridor with builder-grade three-tab shingles reaching end of life at just 14 years. Widespread granule loss, several cracked shingles on the south exposure, and wind-lifted tabs along both gable rakes following a March nor'easter.
Full tear-off revealing intact plywood decking. New synthetic underlayment, GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles in Charcoal, new aluminum drip edge on all eaves, and hand-sealed ridge cap. A significant upgrade over the original builder-grade materials with a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty.
Emergency Repair Near Lake Carasaljo

Lakewood Neighborhoods We Serve
Lakewood Township has undergone dramatic growth and transformation over the past two decades, reshaping its housing landscape in ways that create distinct roofing profiles across different sections of town. From the tree-lined streets surrounding Lake Carasaljo to the dense new construction along the Route 9 corridor and the older residential areas near the Brick border, every part of Lakewood presents its own roofing characteristics. Below is a detailed breakdown of the neighborhoods we serve most frequently.
Lake Carasaljo and Historic Downtown
- Home Types:
- Victorian-era homes, mid-century ranches, split-levels, some converted multi-family
- Typical Roof:
- Mixed asphalt shingle ages, some historic slate or wood shake on pre-1920 structures
- Age Range:
- 1890s-1970s
- Avg Value:
- $250,000-$400,000
Multiple prior roof layers on older homes, original slate requiring specialized repair on historic structures, aging flashings around decorative trim and dormers, mature tree canopy causing debris accumulation and shade-related moss growth
Central Lakewood surrounding the lake, tree-lined streets with established canopy, moderate wind exposure buffered by surrounding development and vegetation
Route 9 Corridor Developments
- Home Types:
- Georgian colonials, townhomes, multi-family dwellings, commercial buildings
- Typical Roof:
- Asphalt architectural shingle on residential, flat TPO and modified bitumen on commercial
- Age Range:
- 2000s-present
- Avg Value:
- $350,000-$600,000
Builder-grade shingle material reaching premature end of life on 12 to 16 year old homes, complex roof geometries with multiple valleys and dormers creating debris accumulation points, commercial flat roofs with ponding from inadequate drainage design
Eastern Lakewood along the Route 9 commercial corridor. Dense development with limited spacing between structures. Newer infrastructure but high density creates access challenges for roofing crews.
Pine Park and Western Lakewood
- Home Types:
- Ranch homes, Cape Cods, bi-levels from established suburban developments
- Typical Roof:
- Asphalt shingle, transitioning from three-tab to architectural on replacement cycles
- Age Range:
- 1960s-1980s
- Avg Value:
- $280,000-$380,000
End-of-life shingles on homes that have not been re-roofed since original construction or first replacement, softened plywood decking discovered during tear-off, insufficient attic ventilation from original construction standards, pine needle accumulation in valleys from surrounding woodlands
Western Lakewood near the Jackson border, bordered by Pine Barrens woodlands. Wooded lots provide wind protection but create heavy debris and shade conditions that accelerate moss and algae growth on north-facing slopes.

- Typical Roof:
- Asphalt architectural shingle, many upgraded from original three-tab
- Age Range:

Second or third replacement cycle, original plywood decking needing selective replacement, low-slope sections prone to ice dam formation in winter, HOA-mandated material and color requirements

Varied maintenance levels across multi-owner properties, complex roof intersections on multi-family buildings, flat roof drainage issues on commercial properties, coordination required with multiple property owners or management companies
Northern Lakewood toward the Toms River and Brick borders. Mixed-use areas with commercial and residential intermingled. Variable lot sizes and property configurations create diverse project requirements.
Roofing Costs in Lakewood
Roofing costs in Lakewood reflect the township's ongoing construction boom, its mix of historic and modern housing stock, and the inland location that moderates some coastal cost factors seen in bayfront communities. New construction in Lakewood often uses current-code materials and techniques, keeping costs predictable. Older homes near the lake and in western neighborhoods may require decking upgrades and ventilation improvements that add to replacement costs. The ranges below are drawn from actual Lakewood projects completed in the past two years, adjusted for current material pricing from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning distributors.
What Affects Your Roofing Cost in Lakewood
Lakewood homes vary significantly in size. Older ranches near the lake measure 12 to 17 roofing squares, while newer Georgian colonials along the Route 9 corridor can reach 25 to 35 squares. The newer construction tends to have steeper roof pitches that add surface area beyond the footprint measurement.
Many of Lakewood's newer colonials feature steep roof pitches with dormers and complex intersections that require additional labor and safety equipment. Steeper roofs also use more material per square foot of floor area due to the increased surface angle.
Architectural shingles are the dominant choice in Lakewood. Builder-grade three-tab shingles on newer homes are frequently upgraded to architectural during the first replacement for better longevity and wind performance. Premium designer shingles are increasingly popular on the larger custom homes.
Older Lakewood homes from the 1950s through 1970s frequently have inadequate attic ventilation. Newer construction is generally code-compliant, but even recent homes sometimes have blocked soffit vents or insufficient exhaust ventilation. Proper airflow is essential for shingle longevity in Ocean County's humid summers.
Pre-1980 homes in Lakewood may have decking that has softened around chimneys, dormers, or other penetration points. Newer construction typically has sound decking, but builder-grade materials can show moisture damage around improperly flashed areas even on homes less than 20 years old.
Some of the denser residential developments in Lakewood have closely spaced homes with limited staging areas for material delivery and debris containers. Tighter site conditions add labor time for material handling and require more careful protection of adjacent properties during tear-off.
| Service/Category | Low Range | High Range |

| Minor Repairs | $225 | $1,050 |
| Major Repairs | $1,050 | $4,000 |
| Full Replacement | $8,000 | $24,000 |
| Commercial | $10,000 | $55,000 |

What Lakewood Homeowners Say
Our Georgian colonial near Route 9 was only 13 years old but the builder-grade shingles were already failing. They came out, showed us exactly where the granule loss and cracking were worst, and gave us a clear quote for upgrading to proper architectural shingles. The new roof completely transformed the look of our home and we are confident it will last three times as long as the original cheap materials the builder installed.
-- Rachel G.
Lakewood
We have a 1960s ranch near the lake with what turned out to be three layers of shingles stacked on the original decking. They tore everything off, replaced a dozen sheets of rotted plywood, improved the ventilation, and installed a beautiful new roof. The price was exactly what they quoted despite finding more decking damage than expected. That kind of honesty earns a customer for life.
-- David K.
Lakewood
Our synagogue needed the flat roof section replaced after years of patching and temporary repairs. They took the time to understand our budget constraints, proposed a phased approach, and delivered a TPO system that has been completely leak-free for two years now. They were respectful of our facility schedule and kept the work area clean and safe throughout the project.
-- Rabbi S., Lakewood Congregation
Lakewood
After that bad March nor'easter knocked a section of ridge cap off our Pine Park home, they responded the same day, tarped the exposed area before the next rain band arrived, and completed permanent repairs within the week. They photographed everything for our Allstate claim and the whole process was handled smoothly. I have already referred two neighbors.
