Roofing in Carteret
Why Carteret homeowners
call Pro Gen.
Carteret is a compact borough on the Arthur Kill, across the water from Staten Island and bordered by the Rahway River. Much of its housing went up in the first half of the 20th century for families working at the waterfront plants, so the streets are lined with narrow lots, two-story frame homes, and two-family houses. Roofs here are mostly asphalt shingle over older decking, often on homes that have been re-roofed more than once.
Expect older gable-roofed single-family and two-family homes on tight lots, plus some newer townhouses. Many have low-slope sections over porches or rear additions.
Every Carteret 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 Carteret roofs
Open waterfront wind
Homes closer to the Arthur Kill and the Rahway River take wind off open water, which loosens tabs and lifts ridge caps on aging shingle roofs.
Multiple old layers
Older Carteret homes often carry two layers of shingles. A tear-off lets us check the original plank or board decking before new roofing goes on.
Tight lot access
Houses set close together need careful staging and debris control so neighboring roofs, siding, and cars are protected during the job.
What we do
Two jobs.
Done properly.
Full replacements and repairs. Both done by our own crews, both photographed from the air.

Carteret questions
Roofing questions from Carteret
How much does a new roof cost in Carteret?
Most full replacements in Carteret 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 Carteret, NJ?
Carteret is a borough, and its construction office issues the permit for a roof replacement. We handle the application and inspection scheduling. Pro Gen handles the application, fees, and the final inspection for you.
How long does a roof replacement take in Carteret?
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 Carteret today?
Yes. Emergency leak and tarp calls in Carteret are dispatched the same day. We stop the water first, photograph the cause from the air, then quote the permanent fix.
My Carteret house has two layers of shingles. Can you roof over them?
New Jersey code generally limits a roof to two layers, so a third layer is not an option. We tear off down to the deck, replace any soft boards, and install a full GAF system that qualifies for the 50-year manufacturer warranty.
