Highlands, NJ Roofing Context

Highlands sits at the southern foot of the Atlantic Highlands ridge on the Sandy Hook Bay waterfront. The housing stock is varied. The hillside blocks climbing toward the Twin Lights lighthouse carry a mix of Victorian-era and 1920s through 1940s cottages on steep terrain with complex roof geometry. The Bay Avenue and Marine Place waterfront blocks were hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and many of those homes are now post-Sandy reconstructions on raised foundations with newer architectural shingle roofs. The Shrewsbury Avenue and Linden Avenue inland blocks include 1950s through 1980s frame homes on tighter lots.

Wind exposure is severe on hillside homes climbing toward Twin Lights. Salt-air exposure is direct on every waterfront and hillside-facing block. Highlands experienced major Sandy storm surge damage in October 2012, and roofs replaced as part of post-Sandy rebuilds between 2013 and 2015 are now twelve to fourteen years old. CRS installs copper flashing as standard on every Highlands replacement and uses wind-rated underlayment with increased fastener counts on hillside and waterfront properties. The borough's construction office processes residential roofing permits in three to five business days.

Common questions

Common Questions From Highlands Homeowners

How much does a roof replacement cost in Highlands, NJ?

Most Highlands single-family homes run $11,000 to $25,000 for a full asphalt-shingle replacement. Hillside homes with complex multi-pitch geometry, longer valleys, and steep access fall on the upper end. Post-Sandy rebuilds on standard architectural shingle typically fall in the middle of the range.

My home was rebuilt after Sandy in 2013 or 2014. Should the roof still be holding?

Probably yes, but it is twelve to thirteen years old now. Most post-Sandy rebuild roofs were architectural shingle with a 25 to 30 year service life. They should have ten to fifteen years left assuming standard installation. Any visible streaking, lifted shingles, granule loss in gutters, or flashing leaks should trigger a free inspection. Coastal exposure shortens shingle life.

My house is on the Twin Lights hillside. Do you handle the steep access?

Yes. CRS regularly handles roofs on the Atlantic Highlands-Highlands ridge, including the steep hillside blocks of Bay Avenue, Highland Avenue, and Portland Road. Steep-access projects require additional safety equipment and scheduling coordination, both of which are included in the written estimate.
