The spec we build for this coastline
A roof replacement in Asbury Park typically costs $8,500–$18,000 for a single-family home and $8–$16 per square foot for flat or low-slope sections, includes a full tear-off to the deck, and — on most single-family houses — finishes in one day. What separates a roof that lasts here from one that curls in ten years is the coastal spec: because every roof in town sits within about a mile of the surf, we build to a 130 mph wind rating as standard, not as an add-on.
That means six nails per shingle instead of four, corrosion-resistant fasteners that salt air can’t eat, ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, sealed edge metal, and new flashing at every chimney and wall — the brick chimneys on Sunset Lake Victorians are where old flashing fails first.
How the job runs, block by block
Asbury Park roofs don’t come in one shape, so the process flexes:
- Sunset Lake Victorians and foursquares — three stories, steep and cut-up, on tight lots. These are hand tear-offs with careful staging; we protect neighboring property lines and often find plank decking that needs plywood repair before shingles go down.
- West Side two-families — usually a clean one-day tear-off and reroof, with attention to the low-slope porch and addition roofs that hang off the back.
- Downtown mixed-use — flat brick buildings priced by the square foot in TPO or EPDM membrane, with drainage corrected so ponding after a nor’easter stops finding the seam.
- Waterfront condos and townhomes — post-2005 stock now hitting its first real maintenance cycle; full reroofs staged around occupancy.
Every job ends the same way: magnetic nail sweep of the lot and sidewalk, same-day debris haul, manufacturer warranty registered for you, and a drone record of the work.
