Roofing in
Toms River, NJ

Toms River's development history spans decades, producing distinct neighborhoods with very different roofing profiles. The older sections near downtown and along Route 37 feature mid-century ranches and capes from the 1950s-1960s that are often on their second or third roof and may need decking replacement. The massive suburban developments built from the 1970s through the 1990s — in areas like Holiday City, Silver Ridge, and the neighborhoods off Hooper Avenue — represent the core of Toms River's housing stock: colonials, bi-levels, and ranch-style homes with standard-complexity roof systems that are now reaching the end of their shingle life.

Toms River's Barnegat Bay waterfront communities — including the lagoon developments of Silverton, Gilford Park, and Ortley Beach — face an entirely different set of challenges. These homes sit at near-sea-level elevations on narrow lots surrounded by tidal water, and they bore devastating damage during Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Many were rebuilt or elevated on pilings, creating unique roofing scenarios where wind loads on raised structures are significantly higher than on ground-level homes. Salt air and persistent humidity from the surrounding bay water accelerate material degradation, and we specify marine-grade components for all lagoon-community installations.

As the county seat, Toms River's building department processes a high volume of roofing permits, and we maintain established relationships that help move approvals efficiently. Our familiarity with the township's specific code requirements — including post-Sandy enhanced building standards for flood-zone properties — ensures that our installations fully comply and will pass inspection without delays.
