THREE CLIMATE ZONES, ONE STATE
No Two New Jersey Regions Face the Same Conditions
North vs. South
Newark and Clifton get 25+ inches of snow with severe ice dam risk. Camden gets just 13 inches but sits on the tidal Delaware River with chronic flooding. A roof built for one would fail on the other. We engineer for the specific threats in your region.
Every Home Type
Newark duplexes need multi-family flat-roof expertise. Edison split-levels have complex multi-plane geometries. Camden row houses share party walls that require coordination between neighbors. Lakewood's new construction needs quality verification on rapidly built homes. We know every type.
Code Varies by Municipality
The NJ UCC mandates ice barriers in northern counties where January averages hit 25°F. Wind uplift requirements follow IRC standards statewide. Historic districts in Paterson, Trenton, and Camden add material restrictions. We know the code in every municipality we serve.
The Right Roofing System for Your Home
What works on a waterfront brownstone in Jersey City won't work on a suburban ranch in Edison. We recommend the right system based on your home, your climate, and your goals.
Asphalt Shingles
The right choice for most New Jersey homes. CertainTeed architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds, 50-year warranty. Works on Colonials, split-levels, Cape Cods, ranches — any pitched roof in any city.

What Impacts Roof Replacement Cost in New Jersey
Costs vary significantly across the state — a project in Edison ($615K median home value) looks very different from one in Camden ($116K). Here's what drives the number regardless of location:
- Roof size and complexity — Edison split-levels with multiple roof planes cost more than simple ranch roofs
- Current condition — our drone inspection reveals what’s invisible from the ground
- Snow load and flood zone — northern NJ roofs need heavier engineering than southern homes
- Material selection — shingles, metal, or flat-roof membrane based on your home
- Financing and insurance — we help with both so you get the best value
A free 360 inspection gives you a clear picture of your roof's exact condition and a straightforward quote — no commitment, no pressure.

THE INTEGRITY ROOF SYSTEM™

Step 1
Waterproofing Underlayment
WinterGuard®
The NJ Uniform Construction Code requires ice barrier membrane extending at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line wherever average January temperatures hit 25°F or lower — all of northern New Jersey qualifies. We install self-adhering underlayment at every vulnerable point: eaves, valleys, penetrations, and anywhere ice dams could form.

New Jersey Roof Replacement FAQ
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in New Jersey?
Yes. New Jersey’s Uniform Construction Code (UCC) governs all roofing work statewide, but the permit process varies by municipality. Newark charges a flat $58 fee through its online portal. Lakewood requires a separate Roof Questionnaire form. Jersey City, Trenton, and others each maintain their own permitting systems. Global Roofing handles permitting in every municipality we serve.
What makes New Jersey roofing different from other states?
New Jersey spans three distinct climate zones in a compact geography. Northern cities like Newark, Paterson, and Clifton get 25+ inches of snow with severe ice dam risk. Central suburbs like Edison and Woodbridge face freeze-thaw cycling on aging mid-century housing stock. Southern cities like Camden get less snow but face tidal flooding from the Delaware River. The NJ UCC requires ice barrier membrane where average January temperatures hit 25°F or lower, and housing stock ranges from 1919 shipbuilder row houses in Camden to explosive new construction in Lakewood.
How do weather conditions vary across New Jersey?
Northern NJ (Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Clifton) averages 25 inches of snow annually with HIGH ice dam risk. Central NJ (Edison, Woodbridge, Lakewood) sees 20–24 inches with moderate-to-high risk. Southern NJ (Trenton at 15 inches, Camden at just 13 inches) gets significantly less snow but faces greater flood risk from the Delaware and Cooper Rivers. Coastal and waterfront cities — especially Jersey City with its 21.7 miles of waterfront — add storm surge and salt air exposure to the equation.
How did Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Ida affect New Jersey roofs?
Hurricane Sandy (2012, FEMA DR-4086-NJ) and Hurricane Ida (2021, FEMA DR-4614-NJ) are the two defining storm events for New Jersey homeowners. Sandy caused catastrophic storm surge damage along the coast and waterways — FEMA awarded $26.3 million just to buy out 89 flood-zone homes in Woodbridge. Ida set Newark’s wettest day on record at 8.41 inches, killed at least 23 NJ residents, and overwhelmed river systems from Paterson to Trenton. Many roofs damaged in these storms were patched rather than properly replaced — and those patches are now failing.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in a single day. Our crew strips the old roof, installs the complete 6-layer Integrity Roof System, and completes cleanup before the end of the day — whether you’re in a Newark duplex or a suburban Edison split-level.
What warranty does Global Roofing offer?
Every roof replacement includes a transferable 50-year premium shingle warranty and a 30-year workmanship warranty, backed by our GlobalCare program. This coverage applies to every New Jersey roof we install.
Do you offer financing for roof replacement?
Yes. We offer no payments for 12 months, low-interest programs, and payments as low as $84/month. We also work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims — especially common after New Jersey nor’easters and the lingering effects of Sandy and Ida.
