Commercial Roof Replacement in Wallington from $4. $4 to $18 a square foot, and the plant on the roof is half the job. Free inspection and a written quote.
Smaller commercial stock than Passaic and better access to it, which moves a quote down on an otherwise identical roof. The other difference is parking: a contractor can usually work from a yard or a forecourt here rather than from the street.
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. The cheapest place on this list for the same roof. Detached and semi-detached housing means side access on some plots, which is the single biggest saving available on a job like this -- and on a detached one- or two-family house there may be no permit at all.
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.
The useful difference is that detached housing genuinely exists here, which means ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7 actually applies to some of it -- no permit, no inspection. It also means side access on some plots, and side access is the single biggest saving available on a job like this.
Wallington is the one area covered here where a straightforward detached house is normal, which makes it the cheapest place on this list to do the same roof.
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.
The cheapest place on this list to do the same roof, for two reasons that have nothing to do with the covering.
More often a rear addition than a whole roof, and with side access on some plots the drainage fix becomes practical: a new outlet has somewhere to discharge to.
Small rear-addition roofs are the common case, and here the honest advice is not to over-specify.
The most conventional shingle work covered on this site: detached and semi-detached houses, real eaves, side access on some plots.
Small apartment buildings here sit among houses on compact plots, so the constraint is usually parking rather than roof access.
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.
A more open grid, so a dumpster needs no negotiation.
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.
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.
An architectural asphalt roof in New Jersey runs $9,500 to $26,000, and most 2,000 square foot houses land at $12,000 to $18,000. Flat roofing is $5 to $14 per square foot by system and commercial work $4 to $18. In this city add the access honestly: a narrow frontage with nowhere for a dumpster is real labor, and a quote that ignores it will change.
At an edge, almost certainly. An attached building has no eaves, so water leaves through an internal outlet or a scupper through the parapet -- and the failures are at the coping on top of the wall, at the upstand where the membrane turns up it, or at the outlet itself. The field is usually the last thing wrong with a roof here.
The route to the roof established before anything is priced. New Jersey figures, with the access stated rather than buried.
