Commercial Roof Replacement in Armory Park from $4. $4 to $18 a square foot, and the plant on the roof is half the job. Free inspection and a written quote.
Light commercial and workshop buildings among the housing, usually single-story with a straightforward low-slope roof. These are the most predictable commercial jobs in the city, and a quote here should sit at the lower end of the $4 to $18 range unless there is plant on the roof.
Commercial roofing in New Jersey runs $4 to $18 per square foot, and that range is wide because the membrane is frequently the smaller half of the cost. This city's mill-era and light industrial stock carries large-area roofs with plant, curbs, ducting and rooftop units on them, and every one of those is a detail to be re-flashed properly.



Commercial roofing in New Jersey runs $4 to $18 per square foot, and the range is that wide because on a real commercial roof the membrane is frequently the smaller half of the cost. Two quotes differing by a factor of two are usually not describing the same roof. Middle of the range, and the reason is simply that a dumpster can usually go on the frontage without a negotiation. The buildings are still attached, so the parapet and the outlet are still where the money should go.
Curbs, ducting, extraction and rooftop units are each a detail to be re-flashed properly, and whether a unit has to be lifted or worked around changes both price and program. A quote silent on them has priced the field only.
Working in bays, protecting from underneath as well as above, and fitting the hours of the business below are all real labor. Priced openly they are manageable; left out they arrive as a variation.
The insulation, the attachment method, and what happens at every penetration. Those three account for most of the difference between a $6 roof and a $14 one.
Slightly easier access than the tightest parts of the city, which shows up in the labor on an otherwise identical roof. The buildings are still attached, so the parapet and the outlet are still where the trouble is -- but a dumpster can usually be placed without a negotiation.
Worth knowing before you start ringing round, because in this city the lead time is rarely about the crew.
On most jobs here the roofing is two to five days and the preparation is what takes the calendar. A dumpster on a city street, a delivery on a bus route, a route onto the roof through somebody else's tenancy, and hours that fit the business below all have to be arranged before a crew is any use. A contractor who quotes a start date without mentioning any of that is quoting an empty building.
A slightly more open grid than the Third Ward, which shows up in the labor on an otherwise identical roof: a dumpster can usually be placed without a negotiation.
Two- and three-family houses here typically have one flat roof over the whole building rather than a pitched front and a flat back.
A single flat roof over a two- or three-family house is close to the ideal EPDM job: one plane, few penetrations, a manageable area.
Where a house here has a genuine pitched roof it is usually straightforward: a simple shape, reachable, and a deck that is predictable for the era.
Three- and four-family buildings with a single flat roof over the whole footprint, which is the cleanest version of this work: one plane, one sequence, and a street that can take a dumpster.
No side yard, no driveway, parapets on every side.
Semi-detached and pitched. Eaves are back in play.
Mill-scale low slope, with plant on top of it.
The tightest frontages, and party-wall junctions.
The shop below decides the hours and the route.
Bus routes and loading bays. Arrange the street first.
Detached houses, side access, sometimes no permit.
The questions that decide this job, answered up front.
Almost always. It means working in bays, protecting the space below as well as the roof above, and agreeing hours in advance. What it does not mean is pretending the constraint is free -- it is labor, and it goes in the quote.
Check three lines: the insulation specification, the attachment method, and what happens at every curb and penetration. Those account for most of the gap between a $6 roof and a $14 one, and a quote that omits them is not describing the same job as one that includes them.
Yes, and it is most of what we do on Main Avenue. It means working in bays, protecting from underneath as well as above, and fitting the hours the business can tolerate. All three are real labor and we price them openly rather than absorbing them and then arguing about it.
No. The inspection is free, the written quote is free, and neither carries an obligation. The survey covers the frontage and the route as well as the roof, which is the part most quotes skip and the part that decides the price here. What we will not do is give you a number at the curb.
Because getting to the roof costs more here. Passaic runs at 22,514 people per square mile -- 7th of New Jersey's 565 municipalities -- so there is no side yard, usually no driveway, and nowhere to stand a dumpster except the street. Material goes up the frontage and waste comes down it, and on a mixed-use building the route is through a tenancy.
The route to the roof established before anything is priced. New Jersey figures, with the access stated rather than buried.
