Roof Replacement / New Roof in Elizabeth, NJ

A full roof replacement in Elizabeth means more than laying new shingles — it starts with a complete tear-off of the existing roof covering, followed by a thorough inspection of the decking below for rot, soft spots, or structural issues that only become visible once the old material is removed. We install code-compliant underlayment, properly detailed flashing at all penetrations and edges, and the finished roofing system of your choice, with every step subject to the Elizabeth Construction Department's required final inspection. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation itself, separate from the manufacturer's material warranty — so you have documented protection on both fronts.

New Jersey Regulations for This Project Type

Elizabeth enforces residential roofing permits under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code (UCC), administered at the city level by the Elizabeth Construction Department at 50 Winfield Scott Plaza — a permit is required for full roof replacements and re-roofing work
NJ UCC generally requires a permit for replacements and for any work exceeding roughly 25% of roof surface area; minor patching and spot repairs typically do not trigger a permit, but confirm your specific scope with the city
Your contractor must hold a valid NJ Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license for residential work — always ask to see it before signing anything
A final building inspection is required after roof replacement to confirm code-compliant installation; your contractor should schedule this and be present
Permit fees in Elizabeth vary by project valuation; the minimum fee is roughly $70–$100, with plan check fees on top — confirm current fees with the Elizabeth Construction Department at (908) 820-4014 before your project begins, as amounts can change

Rules like these change often and vary by lot — the fastest way to know what applies to your property is to ask.
