Ship Bottom, NJ Roofing Context
Ship Bottom is a small borough at the western end of the Causeway Bridge on Long Beach Island, functioning as the island's main entry and commercial gateway. The housing stock is dominated by 1950s through 1980s beach homes plus significant post-Sandy reconstruction. The Bay Avenue and oceanfront blocks carry the larger homes. The bay-side blocks closer to Manahawkin Bay carry older 1950s and 1960s frame homes. Newer 1990s and 2000s custom builds fill out the housing mix. The borough is geographically small and serves as the LBI staging area for material deliveries and crew access.
Atlantic and Manahawkin Bay exposure is direct on every Ship Bottom property. CRS installs copper flashing as standard. Wind-rated underlayment to ASCE 7-22 specifications is the default. Hurricane Sandy hit Ship Bottom hard in 2012. Post-Sandy rebuild roofs from 2013 through 2017 are now between eight and thirteen years old. LBI access is shortest at Ship Bottom because it sits at the Causeway Bridge, which makes off-season project scheduling efficient. The borough's construction office processes residential roofing permits in three to five business days.
What we do
Roofing Services in Ship Bottom
Every Ship Bottom project starts with a licensed team for everything your roof needs, from full replacements to ongoing protection.
-
Roof Replacement
A full tear-off and a new roof system, with a locked written price and a specific finish date. Most NJ single-family homes go from tear-off to final cleanup in one to two work days. Backed by our workmanship guarantee plus the manufacturer warranty on whichever shingle system you pick.
Typical NJ home: $10,000 to $25,000. Your exact number is in writing after the free inspection.
-
Roof Repair
A leak in your ceiling rarely starts above where the water shows up inside. We find the actual failure point, write up the fix, and price it before we touch anything. Same-week scheduling on most repairs.
Typical NJ repair: $300 to $1,500+ depending on what is actually failing.
-
Roof Cleaning & Restoration
Cleaning and a protective coating can add five to ten years to a sound asphalt roof, at about a quarter the cost of a full replacement. Not every roof qualifies. We confirm at the free inspection whether yours does before we recommend it.
Typical NJ restoration: $1,500 to $4,000 on most single-family homes.
-

Common questions
Common Questions From Ship Bottom Homeowners
How much does a roof replacement cost in Ship Bottom, NJ?
Most Ship Bottom single-family homes run $12,500 to $30,000 for a full asphalt-shingle replacement. The 1950s through 1980s beach homes typically fall in the lower to middle portion. Post-Sandy rebuilds on raised foundations fall in the middle. Larger newer custom builds with copper accents fall in the upper portion.
How does LBI access affect my project compared to other LBI towns?
Ship Bottom is the shortest LBI access point because it sits at the Causeway Bridge. Crew arrival and material deliveries move efficiently here compared to Holgate or Loveladies on the far ends of the island. Off-season projects (October through May) move very quickly. Summer projects may still require some bridge-traffic coordination but are easier in Ship Bottom than further along LBI.
My home is elevated post-Sandy. Does that affect the project?
Yes, in terms of access and safety equipment. Post-Sandy elevated foundations require appropriate fall protection, scaffolding, and access equipment, which adds modest cost compared to standard ground-access projects and is included in the written estimate.
