Edison, NJ
NJ Roofing · Roof Replacement & Repair
Edison is Middlesex County's largest township (107,000 pop, 32 sq mi) with a remarkably diverse housing mix: 1950s Stelton ranches, 1970s-1980s North Edison colonials, 1990s-2010s Oak Tree Road subdivisions, plus heavy commercial along Route 1 and the Edison Industrial Park.
We run heavy volume in Edison — typically 4-6 residential replacements/week between the township's various neighborhoods. Commercial side runs Edison Industrial Park warehouses with massive single-ply flat-roof installs (often 50,000+ sq ft per project).
What We Work On in Edison
Stelton + Clara Barton: 1950s-1960s ranches with 4/12-6/12 pitch architectural shingle. North Edison + Oak Tree: 1970s-1990s colonials and contemporaries. Edison Industrial Park: 1980s-2000s warehouse + light industrial with TPO/EPDM/PVC flat roofs. Route 1 corridor: active hotel + retail with flat-roof systems.
Common Edison Jobs
- Architectural-shingle full replacement (high volume)
- Warehouse + industrial single-ply flat-roof installation
- Hotel + retail commercial TPO replacement on Route 1
- Gutter + downspout replacement
- Storm-damage response
- Skylight installation in renovated North Edison homes
Edison Industrial Park work typically requires Saturday + Sunday scheduling and certified-rigger setup for crane access. We carry full commercial COI and follow OSHA Subpart M fall-protection requirements.
Edison's coastal-plain location and lighter tree cover (vs. North Jersey) means fewer ice-dam events but more direct wind exposure off the Raritan plain — summer microbursts and remnants of tropical systems regularly hit the Oak Tree corridor with 50–70 mph gusts. We spec 6-nail high-wind nailing as standard on every Edison residential install and use SBS-modified ridge caps that don't blow off as easily as standard 3-tab caps.

Edison Roofing FAQ
How long does a 50,000+ sq ft warehouse TPO replacement take in Edison Industrial Park?
Typical large-warehouse install runs 6–10 weeks for the 50,000–100,000 sq ft range. We phase by quadrant so the building stays operational and tarp-transitions are weatherproof overnight. Crane setup gets staged in the loading dock area Friday evenings so Monday morning operations aren't disrupted. Material-handling and rooftop equipment work coordinates with the tenant's MEP contractor.
I have a 1965 ranch in Stelton — what should I budget for a full reroof?
Stelton ranches are typically 16–22 squares, mostly 4/12 or 5/12 pitch, with original 1990s 25-year three-tab that's now 30+ years old. Full tear-off + architectural shingle replacement with modern ice-and-water, ridge vent retrofit, and new step flashing runs $10,500–$14,800. Add $1,500–$2,500 if soffit/fascia repair is needed (common where the original aluminum has corroded at the gutter line).
Does Edison require a permit for a partial roof replacement?
Over 25% of total roof area = permit required (NJ IRC R907). Edison processes residential permits in 7–14 days. We file under NJHIC #13VH13970900 directly with the township engineering office — homeowner does not submit paperwork separately or pay a separate fee.
Can you do work on a hotel along Route 1 without disrupting guest operations?
Yes — hotel roof work runs on third-shift or off-peak weekday schedules (Tuesday–Thursday 6am–2pm typically), with crane staging restricted to the back-of-house area, and noise-controlled tools (battery nailers) above any occupied floor. We've done multiple Route 1 hotel reroofs without a single guest complaint logged with the front desk.
