Our corporate office is at 513 3rd Avenue in Alpha. That is where the phone rings, where the trucks load in the morning, and where our estimates get written. Warren Thompson founded the company in 1973, a year after his Honorable Discharge from the United States Marine Corps.
His son Brian joined in 1999 after his own Honorable Discharge and became a full partner in 2008. Alpha is a borough of about 2,300 people and a little over a thousand homes. We have worked on a good share of them.

They did an amazing job. Their quality of product and service is well worth every penny. Not only does my house look brand new– but the entire experience from start to finish was wonderful. They are so polite and have amazing customer service. Definitely hire this company!

What Warren County Weather Does to a Roof
The Roof Evaluation Comes First
We will tell you when a roof has years left. That is the whole point of an honest evaluation. A twenty-year-old three-tab with sound decking and one bad valley is a repair, not a replacement, and we will say so before we quote anything else. Warren manages the replacement side of the company and Brian manages repairs, so there is no incentive here to push a job in either direction.
Every quote is written and itemized. Materials, layers coming off, deck condition allowance, ventilation, and cleanup are all on the page before you sign.
Also Serving the Towns Around Alpha
Alpha borders exactly one municipality, so our service radius reaches well past the borough line in every direction. We regularly work in Pohatcong Township, Phillipsburg, Lopatcong, Greenwich Township and Stewartsville, Bloomsbury, and across the river in Easton, Forks and Bethlehem.
Our second office is in Hackettstown. The full list is on our service areas page.
FAQ’s About Our Roofing Services in Alpha
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Alpha, NJ?
Not for a detached one- or two-family home. New Jersey treats roof covering replacement on those buildings as ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, so no construction permit is required. Three-family homes, larger multifamily and commercial buildings do require a permit through the Alpha Building Department, and structural repairs to the roof deck can trigger one as well.
Is ice and water shield required by code in Alpha?
No. New Jersey requires ice barrier underlayment only where the average January temperature is 25 degrees or below, and the state has identified that as Sussex County alone. Warren County is not included. We install it at the eaves and valleys anyway on most Alpha roofs, because 23 inches of annual snow and a 35 psf snow load make ice damming a real risk here.
How much does a new roof cost in Alpha?
It depends on square footage, pitch, the number of layers coming off, deck condition, and the shingle line you pick. A single-story ranch off Lee Avenue and a two-and-a-half story twin in the old grid are not the same job. We measure the roof, look at the attic and the decking, and put a written number in front of you. We do not quote roofs over the phone.
Can you work on attached and twin homes?
Yes. A good portion of Alpha’s older housing is attached or twin construction. Those jobs need the party wall flashing detailed correctly and the tear-off staged so debris does not end up on your neighbor’s side. We have done this street by street in this borough for years.
Do you handle storm damage insurance claims?
We inspect the roof, document what we find, and give you a written report your adjuster can work from. Warren County was included in the federal disaster declaration after the remnants of Hurricane Ida in 2021, so we have been through this process with a lot of local homeowners.
