Roof Replacement in Armory Park: what actually fails

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. The buildings are still attached, so the parapet and the outlet are still where the trouble is.

An architectural asphalt roof in New Jersey runs $9,500 to $26,000, and on a typical 2,000 square foot house most people pay $12,000 to $18,000 installed. Those are state figures, and on a Passaic building they are the starting point rather than the answer.

What it costs

Roof replacement cost in Armory Park

Those are New Jersey figures for an architectural asphalt roof, and on a typical 2,000 square foot house most people pay $12,000 to $18,000 installed. In this city they are the starting point rather than the answer, because the route to the roof is a genuine part of the cost and it varies street by street. 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.

Time on site2 - 5 days on site

01

What makes it cheaper

Side access on the plot, somewhere to stand a dumpster without a street arrangement, a simple roof shape and a deck that turns out sound. In Wallington and parts of Passaic Park that is normal; in the Third Ward it is not.

02

What makes it cost more

A continuous row with a narrow frontage, so material and waste share a few feet of sidewalk. A route onto the roof that runs through a tenancy. A trading business below whose hours the work has to fit. And long parapet runs, because coping is detail work.

03

The line that decides the spread

How decking replacement is priced. It belongs in the scope as a rate per sheet, because nobody knows how much has softened until the covering is off, and a lump figure is a guess in one direction or the other.

Buildings in Armory Park

Roofs in Armory Park, and what that means for roof replacement

A residential pocket named for the armory that stood beside it, on the same close-set grid as the rest of the city.

Two- and three-family houses and small apartment buildings, with a little more open street pattern than the Third Ward.

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.

Availability

The street arrangement takes longer than the 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.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

Do you replace the decking as well?

Only where it has actually softened, and as a rate per sheet in the written scope rather than a lump guess. Nobody knows how much has gone until the covering is off, and on a dense attached building there is the extra question of how the waste gets down -- which is why it is stated rather than absorbed.

Where will the dumpster go?

On the street in most of this city, which needs arranging rather than assuming, and the arrangement is frequently the longest lead time on the job. In Wallington and parts of Passaic Park it can sometimes go on the plot, and that is a genuine saving.

Can you work over a shop without closing it?

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.

Do you charge for the survey or the quote?

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.

Why would a Passaic quote be higher than one a few miles away?

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.
