A replacement built for a three-block-from-the-Atlantic Victorian
A roof replacement in Spring Lake typically runs $12,000–$28,000, and the reason it sits above the Shore average is simple: the homes are bigger and the rooflines are harder. Instead of a 17-square ranch, you are usually looking at 30 to 50 squares spread across six or eight planes, with valleys, dormers, turret courses, and porch-roof transitions that punish a shortcut. We price and build for that complexity, and we spec every roof in town for the salt air and nor’easters it will actually face.
The spec we hold to, oceanfront to lakefront
Whether it’s an Ocean Avenue oceanfront Victorian, a Divine Park lakefront home, or a newer custom rebuild in the North End, the build sheet is the same coastal baseline:
- Full tear-off to the deck — no laying new shingles over old, so we can see and fix what’s underneath
- Deck inspection with soft or rotted sheathing replaced before anything covers it
- Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and every penetration; synthetic underlayment across the full deck
- 130 mph wind-rated architectural shingles, six-nail fastening, sealed starter and edge courses
- Corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners chosen for salt exposure — bargain metal rusts here years before shingles wear out
- Ridge venting matched to intake so summer attic heat doesn’t cook the roof from below
How the day runs
Roof replacement timing depends on roof size, complexity, weather, material delivery, access, and required inspections. The written proposal and confirmed schedule state the expected work sequence before installation begins. Genuinely large or intricate Victorians occasionally run into a second day, and we tell you that up front, not mid-job. Photo or drone documentation may be included when appropriate for roof access, safety, and project scope.
