Roofing & Replacement Windows in Mountain Lakes, NJ

Roofing, replacement windows, and siding in Mountain Lakes, NJ — craftsman-level work for the borough’s Hapgood houses and historic district.

Hapgood Rooflines Are Not a Standard Roofing Job

Mountain Lakes was laid out as a planned lake community in the 1910s, and the Hapgood-style houses that define its historic district have rooflines to match — large, steeply pitched, and full of dormers, sweeping gables, and intersecting planes. More than half the borough’s homes were built before 1940, with the typical house dating to the late 1940s. Nearly every home is owner-occupied, and residents know these roofs demand craftsman-level work: correct staging, careful flashing, and detailing that keeps the house looking like itself.

The Detailing Is the Difference on a Historic House

On a Hapgood roof, the visible geometry leaves nowhere to hide a shortcut, so we plan courses, valleys, and flashing before the tear-off and supervise every stage. Homestead’s installer certifications from GAF, TAMKO, James Hardie, and VELUX support Mountain Lakes projects with manufacturer warranties up to 50 years, honest pricing quoted upfront, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on all roof installations.

A Company Nearly as Old as the Borough's Houses

Homestead Roofing has been family-owned since 1930, only a couple of decades after Mountain Lakes’ first houses went up. Headquartered in Ridgewood, NJ, we’ve been at work across northern New Jersey for 95 years — long enough to have learned early-twentieth-century construction from the inside out.

Roofing Services Matched to Mountain Lakes Architecture

From a failing dormer flashing on a historic house to a full replacement across a complex Hapgood roof, each job here is engineered for the building it covers.

Tear-off and replacement planned for steep, multi-plane rooflines — hundred-year-old decking assessed and custom flashing fabricated, with the cost fixed before work begins.

A flat rooftop with several dome-shaped skylights and a white vent, surrounded by bare trees and some buildings in the background on a cloudy day.

TPO, PVC, EPDM, metal, and coating systems for the borough’s commercial buildings, with maintenance plans that keep membranes tight through hard winters.

A worker uses a tool to remove old, damaged shingles from a house roof under a blue sky with clouds. Piles of shingles are scattered across the rooftop.

Steep historic roofs concentrate wear at dormers, valleys, and chimneys. We repair the source, safely staged, and leave sound material in place.

Wind, ice, and snow damage gets a fast response with same-day leak mitigation — essential above plaster walls and original woodwork.

An inspection reads a historic roof section by section, identifying tired valleys and failing flashing while repairs are still modest.

Every major material installed to specification, and honest counsel on when an original slate or cedar roof should be preserved rather than torn off.
