Mountain Lakes Roofers | Professional Roofing Services in Mountain Lakes, NJ
We have been putting roofs on Mountain Lakes houses since 2012. We work out of 9 Stony Brook Road in Rockaway – about 5.2 miles and 10 minutes away via I-80 east to US-46, then the Boulevard, CR 618 – and a second office in Flanders. Randolph and Wharton are on the same run. Converted cottages and open water are the two things that shape the work here. We do roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, roof maintenance and roof inspection, and the chimney repair and gutter work that go with them.

Mountain Lakes Roofers, About 10 Minutes From Rockaway
Mountain Lakes is a borough of 4,472 people, incorporated in 1924. Its housing has a census median build year of 1949, which is the single most useful thing to know before climbing a ladder in this town. Lake-front and former lake-colony houses are their own kind of roof: added to more than once, with planes meeting where nobody planned them to, and open water sending wind at the ridge with nothing in the way. They take longer than the square footage suggests and we price them that way. Mountain Lakes sits at 489 ft, with seven man-made lakes covering 9% of the borough. If you know one building here it is probably the Mountain Lakes Historic District, 1,397 acres on the National Register since 2005, with more than 1,700 properties described individually in the nomination. There is also the Grimes Homestead, an eighteenth-century Underground Railroad way station listed in 1977. We would rather write that than another paragraph about being your trusted local roofing partner.

Roofing Conditions in Mountain Lakes
Mountain Lakes is a planned community and it shows on every roof. Herbert J. Hapgood started building in 1910; 200 of his houses were sold and occupied by the end of 1912 and about 600 stucco houses were up by 1923. Hapgoods have steep pitches, deep overhangs, dormers and Craftsman detailing – they are not a house you re-roof the way you re-roof a 1970s colonial. The borough’s median build year of 1949 is the oldest in the county.
Lake-front and former lake-colony houses are their own kind of roof: added to more than once, with planes meeting where nobody planned them to, and open water sending wind at the ridge with nothing in the way. They take longer than the square footage suggests and we price them that way.
Under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)1x, replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house in New Jersey counts as ordinary maintenance, so no construction permit is needed. Attached homes – townhouses and condominiums – are not covered by that exemption and do need one. The office to ask is the Construction Office, Borough Hall, 400 Boulevard, on 973-334-3131. Mountain Lakes has a Historic Preservation Committee that meets on the third Tuesday of the month and advises the Planning and Zoning Boards, and runs a Historic Preservation Incentives ordinance with a published list of contributing dwellings. Whether a like-for-like roof needs its sign-off is not stated on the borough’s page, so ask before you assume either way.
If your roof is in Mountain Lakes and you want it looked at by someone who already knows the answers to that, call 973-960-7921.

Mountain Lakes Roof Repair, Replacement and Inspection
The work below is what Mountain Lakes houses need most often.
- Roof Repair: We repair what is leaking rather than what is easiest to reach. In Mountain Lakes that usually means a valley created by an extension that was never flashed properly – not the field of the roof. Emergency call-outs 24 hours a day on 973-960-7921. See roof repair.
- Roof Installation: New roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and new builds in Mountain Lakes, built as a system: ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, starter course, GAF or Owens Corning shingles, new flashing and a vented ridge. See roof installation.
- Roof Replacement: Full tear-off to the deck, the deck inspected and soft sheets replaced at a rate agreed before we start. With a median build year of 1949 in Mountain Lakes, we check how many layers are already up there before quoting, because that decides whether it is a recover or a strip. See roof replacement.
- Roof Maintenance: Two visits a year – the spring one finds what the winter did, the autumn one clears the gutters and checks the flashing before the first freeze. On Mountain Lakes roofs the autumn visit is the one that matters most. See roof maintenance and gutter cleaning.
- Roof Inspection: Shingles, flashing, valleys, eaves and the attic, with the layers already on the deck counted and the whole thing written down. Worth doing before you buy a house in Mountain Lakes and after any storm. See roof inspection.
Why Mountain Lakes Homeowners Call Boundless

- Licensed and Insured: Registration #13VH10877700 is active on the New Jersey state register and our general liability runs to $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Ask for the certificate and you get it before anyone gets on the roof.
- Free Roofing Estimates: Written and itemised, so you can compare it line by line: tear-off and disposal, the deck-repair rate per sheet, ice-and-water membrane, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and clean-up. We also tell you how many layers are already on your Mountain Lakes roof, because under R908.3.1 that decides whether a recover is even legal.

Roofing Questions From Mountain Lakes Homeowners
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Mountain Lakes?
Under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)1x, replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house in New Jersey counts as ordinary maintenance, so no construction permit is needed. Attached homes – townhouses and condominiums – are not covered by that exemption and do need one. The office to ask is the Construction Office, Borough Hall, 400 Boulevard, on 973-334-3131.
How quickly can you get to Mountain Lakes?
It is about 5.2 miles from Rockaway, roughly 10 minutes via I-80 east to US-46, then the Boulevard, CR 618. 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day, every day. For an active leak we come out, make it safe and dry, and talk about the permanent repair afterwards.
How many layers of roofing are allowed in Mountain Lakes?
Two, and no more. Under New Jersey Residential Code R908.3.1 a recover is not permitted where the existing roof already has two applications of covering, and a roof replacement must strip back to the deck. If you already have two, a tear-off is the only lawful route.
Do lake houses in Mountain Lakes cost more to re-roof?
A little, and it is the shape rather than the lake. A cottage extended two or three times has more valleys, more flashing and more edges per square foot than a colonial of the same size, and every one of those is somewhere water can get in. We measure the planes, not the footprint.
