2026 South Jersey Pricing

What Does a Roof Replacement Actually Cost?

The Direct Answer: In South Jersey, most homeowners pay between $13,500 and $21,500 for a full asphalt shingle roof replacement in 2026.

Townhomes typically run $8,500–$12,500. A standard two-story colonial averages $14,500–$19,000. Larger or more complex homes run $22,000–$35,000+. Your exact number depends on pitch, number of existing layers, decking condition, and the system you choose — all of which ECC documents during a forensic inspection before quoting.

Townhome / Starter Home

$8,500 – $12,500

Single-story or low-pitch. Common in Evesham or Gloucester Twp.

What This Includes:
  • Full tear-off (one layer)
  • OC Duration® shingles
  • Synthetic underlayment
  • New drip edge, permit, dumpster

Custom / Complex / Coastal

$22,000 – $35,000+

High pitch (8/12+), multiple facets, or Shorefront exposure.

What This Includes:
  • All Suburban Colonial features
  • Enhanced wind fastening
  • Stainless flashing for salt air
  • Premium valley protection

These ranges are based on actual ECC projects completed in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties. They are not national averages. Your quote depends on conditions found during a forensic inspection — specifically pitch, layers, and decking condition.

What Moves Your Number Up or Down

Every variable below is assessed and documented before we price your job.

Steep Pitch

Roofs 8/12 and steeper require safety harnesses and slower installation. Adds 15–30% to labor.

(Increases Cost)
Two-Layer Tear-Off

NJ Code allows a maximum of two layers. If you have two, both must come off. Adds $1,200–$2,200 in disposal and labor.

(Increases Cost)
Decking Damage

South Jersey’s humidity degrades OSB decking. About 35% of ECC replacements require partial decking work.

(Increases Cost)
Roof Complexity

Dormers, valleys, and skylights require extra flashing and labor.

(Increases Cost)
Coastal Exposure

Homes within 2 miles of the Atlantic Ocean require stainless drip edges and salt-rated flashing.

(Increases Cost)
Simple, Walkable Roof

A 4/12 pitch, one layer, and no dormers is the most efficient profile.

(Reduces Cost)

Roof Replacement FAQs

In South Jersey, a full roof replacement typically costs between $13,500 and $21,500 for most residential homes. A standard two-story colonial (2,000–2,800 sq ft) runs $14,500–$19,000. Townhomes range from $8,500–$12,500. Larger or more complex homes with steep pitches, coastal exposure, or two-layer tear-off can reach $35,000 or more.

These ranges are based on actual ECC projects in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties and include permits, full tearoff, and Owens Corning system installation. National average calculators often miss New Jersey's humidity surcharges, county permit fees, and Nor'easter wind load requirements.

1. How long does a roof replacement take?

95% of our South Jersey projects are completed in a single day. Our crews arrive at 7:30 AM and are typically finished with cleanup by 5:30 PM. Larger, complex custom homes may require a second day.

2. Are you licensed and insured in New Jersey?

Yes. ECC Roofing & Siding is fully licensed (NJ License #13VH11991000) and carries $2M in General Liability insurance along with full Worker’s Compensation. Always verify a contractor's license before signing.

3. Do you handle the building permits?

Always. We handle the entire application process with your local building department in Camden, Atlantic, or Burlington County. We coordinate the final inspection to ensure the roof meets the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC).

4. Can you install a new roof over my existing shingles?

While NJ code allows two layers, ECC does not recommend "recover" installs. A full tear-off is the only way to inspect the decking for rot and ensure your 50-year Platinum warranty is valid.

5. What is the best shingle for South Jersey weather?

We recommend the Owens Corning Duration® series. It features SureNail® technology, which is specifically designed to withstand the 90+ MPH wind gusts we experience during Nor’easters and coastal storms.

6. Does ECC offer financing?

Yes. We partner with Service Finance and Wells Fargo to offer 0% same-as-cash options and low monthly payment plans starting around $140/month for qualified homeowners.

7. How do I know if I need a full replacement or just a repair?

We use the 40% Integrity Rule. If the repair cost exceeds 40% of a replacement cost, or if the system is at the end of its serviceable life (brittle shingles/granule loss), a replacement is the safer investment.

8. Will a new roof help with my high energy bills?

Yes. Most older NJ homes have improper attic ventilation. As part of our system, we balance your intake and exhaust, which can lower attic temperatures by 20-30 degrees in the summer, reducing the load on your AC.

9. What happens if it rains during my installation?

We monitor local radar constantly. We only tear off what we can dry-in immediately. If a sudden shower occurs, our crews are trained to "button up" the roof with synthetic underlayment and tarps in minutes.

10. Why should I choose a Platinum Preferred Contractor?

Only the top 1% of contractors hold this status. It allows us to offer the Owens Corning Platinum Protection Warranty, which covers both materials and ECC's workmanship for 50 years, non-prorated.
