What roofing costs across New Jersey
Across the 50 New Jersey cities covered here, architectural shingle replacement on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home spans $9,900–$22,400, with a state midpoint of $15,775.
That is a 19% spread between the lowest market in the state (Camden) and the highest (Newark) — wide enough that a statewide average is a poor basis for budgeting a specific roof.
New Jersey’s climate is not uniform either. Annual snowfall runs from 2 in around Evesham to 28 in around Elizabeth, which changes whether ice-barrier depth at the eave is the detail that decides service life or a line item that barely matters.
Midpoint of each city’s researched replacement range, cheapest at the top. The axis starts at $14,350 rather than zero so the 19% spread across New Jersey is actually visible.

New Jersey roofing questions
How much does a new roof cost in New Jersey?
Across the 50 New Jersey cities in this guide, architectural shingle replacement spans $9,900–$22,400 for a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home, with a midpoint of $15,775. The gap between the state's lowest market (Camden) and its highest (Newark) is 19%, so a local figure is worth far more than a state average.
Does the climate vary much across New Jersey?
Enough to change the scope. Annual snowfall runs from 2 in around Evesham to 28 in around Elizabeth. Ice-barrier depth at the eave is a real decision in the north of the state and close to a non-issue in the south.
