Roofers in Roxbury, NJ | Reliable Roxbury Roofing Services
We have been putting roofs on Roxbury houses since 2012. We work out of 9 Stony Brook Road in Rockaway – about 10.2 miles and 17 minutes away via US-46 west through Dover and Wharton to Ledgewood – and a second office in Flanders. Boonton and Morris Plains are on the same run. Most of what we are called out for here starts at the ridge and the rakes. We do roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, roof maintenance and roof inspection, and the chimney repair and gutter work that go with them.

Roxbury became a township in 1798 and had 22,950 residents at the 2020 census. The census puts the median build year of its housing at 1971, and that number tells us more about what we will find on a roof here than the address does. Roxbury sits at fronting Lake Hopatcong, the largest freshwater lake in New Jersey; the Landing section sits at 922 ft, and exposed ground is hard on the perimeter of a roof. Ridge cap first, then the rake edge, then the drip edge: that is the order things come loose in up here, and it is the order we inspect in.
Succasunna to Landing: What Roxbury Roofs Deal With
Roxbury is a big township, 22,950 people at the 2020 census, and its roofs face different conditions from one section to the next. Landing, at about 922 feet, fronts Lake Hopatcong, the largest freshwater lake in New Jersey, and houses there take wind across open water. Ledgewood and Succasunna have historic cores: the Ledgewood Historic District covers 41 acres with 40 contributing buildings, and the King Store and Homestead on Main Street has been on the National Register since 1994.
The census median build year is 1971, so many Roxbury houses are on their second roof, and some carry two layers on the deck. On lakefront houses in Landing we inspect the ridge cap first, then the rake, then the drip edge, the usual order in which wind pulls a roof apart. Inland we start with the layer count and the attic ventilation, because those two decide whether the next roof can go over or has to be a tear-off.
Our GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred status is not something you have to take on trust: both manufacturers run contractor search tools where you can find us by name. You can do the same with our New Jersey HIC registration, #13VH10877700, on the Division of Consumer Affairs lookup. Before the job begins we provide our liability insurance certificate, $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate.

Roof Repair and Replacement Across Roxbury
Lakefront roofs in Landing
Wind coming across roughly four square miles of open water gets under any edge it can find. Repairs here mean replacing lost cap and rake shingles with a starter course along the rake, high-wind nailing and sealed edges, rather than tacking the same shingles back on. A roof that has lost its cap twice has an edge-detail problem, not a shingle problem. See roof repair.
Tear-offs on 1970s houses
Many houses in Succasunna and Ledgewood date from the 1960s and 1970s, and some have already had one overlay. New Jersey’s code (R908.3.1) stops at two layers, so the next roof starts with a full strip. That is also the chance to replace tired sheathing, put membrane at the eaves and valleys, and fix ventilation. See roof replacement and, for a check before you decide, a free roof inspection.
Historic districts on Main Street and in Succasunna
Roxbury’s Historic Advisory Committee is charged with reviewing building permits in the Main Street and Succasunna historic preservation districts. If your house is in one of them, check with the township before you choose materials or colors, even for work that would not otherwise need a permit. Older houses there often have masonry chimneys too, and we handle the chimney repair and flashing on the same job.
On permits generally: New Jersey treats a new roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house as ordinary maintenance (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7), so a construction permit normally is not required. Townhouses and condominiums need one. Roxbury’s Construction Department is in the municipal building at 1715 Route 46 in Ledgewood, 973-448-2009.
Questions From Roxbury Homeowners
How long does it take you to reach Roxbury?
About 17 minutes. It is 10.2 miles from our Rockaway office on US-46 west, through Dover and Wharton to Ledgewood. 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day.
Is a house in Landing more exposed than one in Succasunna?
For wind, generally yes. A lakefront roof has nothing between it and the water to slow the wind, and uplift always starts at an edge, a rake, an eave or the ridge, and works inward. Inland roofs see less of that and more of the ordinary aging problems: worn shingles, tired flashing and attics that run hot.
