How much does a new roof cost in New Jersey?

It depends on the size, pitch, and material of your roof, plus whether the decking underneath needs work. That's exactly why we start with a free inspection: you get a clear, itemized estimate instead of a guess. We also price-match — we'll beat or match any legitimate roofing quote.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in NJ?

Since 2018, New Jersey no longer requires a permit for most straightforward residential re-roofs. There are exceptions — if the decking/plywood is being replaced, or for multi-family and commercial buildings, a permit is still required. We handle permitting when a job calls for it.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roofs are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. We'll give you a firm timeline at the estimate and keep you posted day-of.

What warranty comes with my roof?

Because we're GAF Master Elite, we can offer warranty tiers most contractors can't — up to the GAF Golden Pledge®, which combines a 50-year material warranty with a 25-year workmanship guarantee backed by GAF itself, not just by us.

Can you just repair my roof instead of replacing it?

Absolutely. If a repair is the right call, that's what we'll recommend. We only suggest replacement when the roof is genuinely at the end of its life — and the inspection shows you why.

Overview

Roof replacement and repair, done right the first time.

Green Apple Roofing installs, replaces, and repairs residential roofs across New Jersey. Because we hold GAF Master Elite certification — a credential fewer than 3% of roofers in North America earn — we can offer warranty coverage that ordinary contractors simply cannot, including the GAF Golden Pledge® with a 25-year workmanship guarantee.

Whether you have a single missing shingle after a storm, a slow leak staining the ceiling, or a 20-year-old roof at the end of its life, we start the same way: a free, no-pressure inspection. You get an honest assessment of what your roof actually needs — repair when repair makes sense, replacement only when it's the right call.

Founded in 2008 by Ron (Sharone) Tal, Green Apple has completed roughly 3,000 roofs and answers its phone 24 hours a day for emergencies. We're licensed, bonded, and insured in New Jersey (License #13VH11318100).
