Our Hackettstown office is at 150 Main Street. 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. Hackettstown sits about twenty-five minutes east of our Alpha office, and it is close enough that a crew can be on a roof here the morning after you call.

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!
An 07840 Address Does Not Mean You Live in Hackettstown
That distinction is not trivia. It decides which construction office has jurisdiction over your building, which zoning rules apply, and who you call when a job needs a filing. Out-of-town contractors chase the ZIP code and end up in the wrong municipal office. We work both counties and we check the tax map, not the mailing address.
We are on Main Street, so we know the difference between High Street and Willow Grove, between Stiger and Washington Avenue, and between a house inside the town line and one that only shares the ZIP.

Permits in Hackettstown
New Jersey classifies the replacement of existing roof covering on a detached one- or two-family home as ordinary maintenance under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7. No construction permit, no inspection, no fee. That is a statewide rule and it has been in place since 2018.
Buildings with three or more units do not qualify, and neither does commercial. Those reroofs need a UCC construction permit through the Hackettstown construction office at 215 Stiger Street. Structural work can trigger a permit on any building, so if the deck is rotted and sheathing has to come off, that changes the answer. We identify which category your building falls in during the estimate and we handle the filing when a filing is required.
One more item specific to this town. Hackettstown has a Historic Preservation Commission and a locally designated historic district. Most Warren County towns do not. If your property sits inside that district, confirm with the town whether exterior work needs Commission review before anything comes off the roof. We will make that call with you rather than guess at it.
Every home improvement contractor working in New Jersey has to be registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs and carry at least $500,000 in general liability coverage. The registration number belongs on the estimate, the contract and the truck. Ask for it on every bid you take.
Hackettstown Housing Is on Its Second and Third Roof
How many layers are already up there. Whether the 1960s decking is plywood or plank. Whether a previous crew shingled over instead of tearing off, which is common on the sixties stock and changes the price of doing it right. Whether the ridge has any real ventilation or just a couple of static cans. We look at all of it in the attic before we quote, because those are the items that turn a clean number into a change order.
Hackettstown also has housing Warren County mostly does not. Nearly a quarter of the units here sit in buildings of five or more, another thirteen percent in two to four unit buildings, and only fifty-eight percent are owner-occupied. That is a different mix from the single-family townships around it, and it means a good share of our calls here come from an association or a landlord rather than a homeowner.
The Roof Evaluation Comes First
Every quote is written and itemized. Materials, layers coming off, deck condition allowance, ventilation, and cleanup are on the page before you sign.
