Berkeley Heights homes and their roofs
Berkeley Heights sits along the Passaic River at the western edge of Union County. Most homes are 1950s through 1970s colonials and split-levels on generous lots, many with lower levels and basements that are ready to become real living space.
Split-level roof lines
Split-levels have several roof sections meeting at different heights. Those intersections need careful step flashing and cricket work, and it's where most split-level leaks start.
Colonials: simple roofs, big walls
Colonial roofs in Berkeley Heights are usually simple gables, which keeps roofing cost down. The big two-story walls are where siding makes the biggest visual difference, and many still have 1970s aluminum siding.
Hillside lots
On Berkeley Heights's sloped lots, one side of the house is often a full story taller. That affects staging and safety setup, and we plan for it in the price.
Berkeley Heights pricing
Most Berkeley Heights roof replacements run $14,000 to $28,000 for architectural shingles, because homes here tend to be larger or steeper. Roof-and-siding packages typically run $35,000 to $65,000.
