Mountainside homes and their roofs
Mountainside is a quiet borough bordering the Watchung Reservation, known for 1950s and 1960s ranches, split-levels, and colonials on larger, often sloped lots. Those slopes can open up walk-out basements and big lower-level windows.
Ranch roofs
Ranches have long, low roofs that are straightforward to replace, but they need balanced ventilation to keep the attic from overheating. We add ridge vent and intake as part of the job.
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.
Hillside lots
On Mountainside'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.
Mountainside pricing
Most Mountainside 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.

Permits in Mountainside
Roof replacement and most siding work in Mountainside require a permit from the Mountainside 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.
