Roofing in South Orange
Why South Orange homeowners
call Pro Gen.
Officially the Township of South Orange Village, South Orange is home to Seton Hall University and sits along the eastern edge of South Mountain Reservation. Housing is largely late 19th and early 20th century, with Victorians, Tudors, and Colonials, including the large homes of the Montrose Park area. Slate and steep rooflines are common, and homes on the hillside toward the reservation see more tree cover and wind.
Victorian, Tudor, and Colonial Revival homes with steep gables and dormers, many with slate or architectural asphalt shingle, plus some multifamily buildings near the village center.
Every South Orange estimate starts with a drone flight. You get the photos whether or not you hire us, so you know exactly what's up there before you spend a dollar.

What we check on South Orange roofs
Aging slate roofs
Many older homes still have slate that can be kept in service with targeted repairs rather than full replacement.
Hillside tree cover
Homes near South Mountain Reservation deal with heavy leaf fall, limb damage, and moss on shaded slopes.
Complex period rooflines
Turrets, dormers, and multiple valleys on Victorian and Tudor homes create many flashing points to maintain.
What we do
Two jobs.
Done properly.
Full replacements and repairs. Both done by our own crews, both photographed from the air.

South Orange questions
Roofing questions from South Orange
How much does a new roof cost in South Orange?
Most full replacements in South Orange land between $7,500 and $22,000 depending on roof size, pitch, layers to remove, and the shingle you choose. Repairs usually run $350 to $1,850. The drone inspection gives you an exact number, free.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in South Orange, NJ?
South Orange is a township, officially the Township of South Orange Village, and its construction office issues roofing permits. We handle the filing and inspections. Pro Gen handles the application, fees, and the final inspection for you.
How long does a roof replacement take in South Orange?
Most homes are torn off, dried-in and shingled in one to two days. Larger or more complex roofs can run a third day. Your roof is never left open overnight.
Can you fix a leak in South Orange today?
Yes. Emergency leak and tarp calls in South Orange are dispatched the same day. We stop the water first, photograph the cause from the air, then quote the permanent fix.
Is my slate roof in South Orange worth repairing?
Good-quality slate can last a very long time, so if most of the slates are solid and the issue is flashing or a few broken pieces, repair is usually the best value. If the slates are flaking or soft across large areas, replacement makes more sense.
