How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in New Jersey? [2025 Guide]

If you're a New Jersey homeowner asking, “How much does it cost to replace my roof in 2025?” , you're not alone. Roof replacement is one of the most important investments you’ll make in your home. Whether you're dealing with storm damage, an aging roof, or planning to sell your home, knowing what to expect can save you thousands.

At Hill Top Construction Solutions, we help NJ homeowners make smart roofing decisions with clear, honest pricing. This guide will break down everything you need to know about roof replacement costs in NJ, including updated pricing, material options, and what really drives the numbers.

Average Roof Replacement Cost in NJ (2025)

As of 2025, the average cost to replace a roof in New Jersey ranges from:

👉 $9,000 to $27,000+(Based on homes between 1,700 and 2,500 square feet)

Here's a breakdown by roofing material:

Roofing Material	Cost per Square Foot (Installed)	Total Cost (1,800 sq. ft. roof)
Asphalt Shingles	$5.00 – $7.50	$9,000 – $13,500
Metal Roofing	$9.00 – $15.00	$16,200 – $27,000
Flat/Low-Slope Roofing	$7.00 – $11.00	$12,600 – $19,800

💡 Note: These figures are based on average NJ homes between 1,700–2,500 sq. ft.. If your home is significantly larger, the price per square foot often decreases due to economies of scale — many contractors (including us) offer bulk pricing discounts on larger roofing projects.

💡 Tip: Asphalt shingles remain the most popular and cost-effective roofing option for New Jersey homeowners.

What Affects Roofing Prices in New Jersey?

No two roofs are the same, and several key factors impact your final cost:

1. Roof Size & Complexity

A larger roof or one with lots of angles, dormers, and skylights will cost more due to added labor and materials — though larger homes may see a lower per-square-foot rate.

2. Material Selection

Material is the biggest pricing factor. Asphalt shingles are affordable and widely used. Metal roofing is more durable but has a higher upfront cost.

3. Tear-Off & Disposal

Removing old shingles and disposing of waste can add $1,000–$2,500 to the job, especially for multi-layered or heavier roofs.

4. Permits & Local Regulations

Most towns in New Jersey do not require permits or inspections for a standard roof replacement. However, in municipalities that do, permit fees and compliance requirements can increase your total cost by $200–$1,000+.

5. Labor Rates

New Jersey roofing labor rates tend to be higher than the national average, particularly in high-demand areas like North Jersey and the Shore.
