Roofing in Lakewood, NJ
Looking for a roofer in Lakewood, NJ? You're in the right place. Gutter Bandits LLC now offers full roof installations and replacements across Lakewood Township and surrounding Ocean County. We're the same local team that's been handling gutters here for over a decade, same crew, same standards, same insistence on doing it right the first time. Now with a bigger toolbox.
Lakewood is one of the fastest-growing towns in New Jersey, so its roofs run from brand-new construction to established neighborhoods and 55+ communities with roofs from the 80s and 90s. The pines and oaks around Lake Carasaljo and the older streets add needles and leaves on top of it all.

What We Know About Lakewood Roofs
What we know about Lakewood roofs specifically: The 50s-70s housing stock across central Lakewood is now firmly in roof-replacement territory. New construction in outer Lakewood is standard architectural shingle work. The 55+ communities are a mix depending on age of development.

What's Included in a Lakewood Roof Installation
Every Lakewood roof we install starts with a full tear-off to the deck and rotted sheathing replaced, then ice-and-water shield in the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, step flashing at walls and chimneys, ridge venting where the attic needs it, and GAF architectural shingles in your color. The manufacturer covers the materials; we guarantee the workmanship.
Our Roofing Work Right Next to Lakewood
Our closest written-up roof job to Lakewood is just south in Toms River. The tear-off found a lot of rotted plywood on the main house and the garage, so all of it was replaced before synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, and GAF Timberline HDZ in Charcoal went on. A flat section was rebuilt with GAF Liberty base and cap sheets.
Many of Lakewood's established homes are at the same stage. We tear off to the deck, replace any soft wood we find, and use the right system for every part of the roof, shingles where the pitch supports them and a membrane where it doesn't.
Where We Work for Roofing in Lakewood
We serve all of Lakewood Township and the surrounding Ocean County area for roofing work, with regular jobs in the older downtown area, the developments along Route 70, the Leisure Village complex, the Yeshiva neighborhoods, and Whiting border area. Main corridors we cover include Route 70, Route 9, Route 88, and Cedarbridge Avenue.

Roof + Gutters Together = Better Outcome
Next door in Brick, we just finished a new build with black 5-inch gutters and 2x3 downspouts sized to a single-story roof. On new Lakewood homes, gutters planned along with the roof get the size and downspout placement right from day one. On older ones, replacing them with the roof means the drip edge and gutters go back as one system.
