Madison homes and their roofs
Madison, the Rose City, is a walkable Morris County borough with Victorians, colonials, and early 1900s homes around its downtown and Drew University. Owners here invest in quality and expect work that respects the house's original character.
Victorians and complex roofs
Victorian roofs in Madison have turrets, steep pitches, and many valleys. They take more time and skill, and in historic districts some exterior changes need review. We'll tell you before we start.
Colonials: simple roofs, big walls
Colonial roofs in Madison 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.
Older homes: expect the unexpected under the shingles
Pre-war homes in Madison often have board sheathing, multiple old layers, and chimneys that need reflashing. We price deck repairs per sheet in writing so there are no surprises.
Madison pricing
Most Madison 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.

Roof replacement and most siding work in Madison require a permit from the Madison construction office. DMF files the application, keeps the permit posted on site, and schedules the final inspection so your records are clean when you sell.
