The Guide: Roofing Contractors near Allentown, NJ
How to Use This Guide
This guide covers four places: Upper Freehold Township, Millstone Township (Monmouth), Allentown and Roosevelt. A company is in this guide if it installs, repairs or replaces residential roofs, publishes roofing as a named service on its own website, and holds a New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor registration that the state records as active. Where fewer than five companies based in these towns passed that test, the nearest companies that passed it are listed, each with the town it is based in. That is the whole test. It is not a test of size, of price, of how long a company has been trading, or of what we think of its work.
New Jersey does not license roofers. It registers them — and it registers them to a legal entity, not to the name painted on the truck. Every company in this guide holds a Home Improvement Contractor registration: the number that begins 13VH and runs eight digits after it. It is issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs, it is free to look up, and it takes about ninety seconds.
Where a business publishes a registration number, this guide prints it and reports what the state record says about it. Where a business publishes nothing, this guide says so plainly and dates the statement. Neither is a compliment or a complaint. Both are facts about a website on a particular day.
About This Guide
This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Companies appear here because they pass the test described above — they perform residential roofing work, publish it as a service, and hold an active state registration. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No company can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Companies are listed alphabetically, and every detail in the table was checked against each company’s own website and against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs registrant record.
Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Where a sponsor’s message appears above that heading, it is paid for and labelled, and it buys nothing in the guide. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says.
Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Upper Freehold Township, Millstone Township (Monmouth), Allentown and Roosevelt. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

Checked against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs Home Improvement Contractor registration search.
Registrations, registered entity names, statuses and towns were checked against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs registrant record in October 2026, and services and credentials against each company’s own website and the manufacturer directories named in the table in September and October 2026.
Where the certification column says “as published”, we read it off the company’s site and did not check it at the manufacturer.
Common Questions
Does a roofer in Allentown, NJ need a license?
Not a trade license. New Jersey does not examine or license roofers the way it licenses electricians, plumbers and heating contractors. Home improvement contractors register with the state under the Contractors’ Registration Act — the 13VH number — which carries commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence and a written contract for any job over $500. Every company in the table above holds an active registration, and the table says which of them publish it. Whether a given roofing job falls inside the Act is a question for the state, not for this guide; what we publish is the record we ran.
Is a 13VH number the same as a 19HC number?
No. A number beginning 19HC is a Master HVACR contractor’s license, held by a named individual, and it covers heating and cooling work. A number beginning 13VH is a business registration and covers home improvement work including roofing, siding and windows. They are different regimes and a company doing both should hold both.
Why does the registered name not match the company name?
Because registration attaches to a legal entity and trading names are free to differ from it. A company that was renamed, that was acquired, that operates a brand distinct from the corporation behind it, or that is a franchise location of a larger operator will show a registered name that looks unfamiliar. Several companies in this guide do. It is normal, and it is why searching the state registry by the name on your estimate often returns nothing at all.
How do I check a registration myself?
Search the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licensee verification for Home Improvement Contractors, using the business search rather than the individual one. You can search by the 13VH number if you have it, or by the beginning of the registered name — the name search matches from the start of the name, so a partial word at the front works and a word from the middle does not. The result gives the registered entity, the number, the status and the town. It is free.
What does GAF Master Elite actually mean?
It is the top tier of GAF’s contractor certification, restricted by the manufacturer to a limited share of roofing contractors in each area, and it requires proof of licensing where applicable, insurance and ongoing installation training. Its practical consequence for a homeowner is access to GAF’s longest workmanship warranties, which cannot be offered by a non-certified installer. Below it sit GAF Certified Plus and GAF Certified. Owens Corning Platinum Preferred and CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster are the equivalent top tiers at those two manufacturers. All are checkable in the manufacturer’s own contractor directory.
Does it matter that a roofer is based nearby rather than travelling in?
Less than most homeowners assume for a scheduled replacement, and more than usual for a repair after a storm, when every roofer within twenty miles is answering the same calls. Roofing crews travel; a company forty minutes out with its own crews may be on site before one down the road that is booked into October. What is worth asking directly is whether the crew on your roof works for the company or for a subcontractor, who owns the warranty if the company changes hands, and whether the shingle and the nailing pattern are rated for the wind zone your town sits in.
Who Governs Roofing Work in Allentown, NJ
Roofing work in New Jersey answers to two state agencies with confusingly similar names, and they do different things. The registration — the 13VH number in the table above — is issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs, Regulated Business Section — (973) 504-6370 — which is where the registration check described above is run. The permit belongs to the Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23, written by the Department of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards — (609) 292-7899 — and enforced by each municipality’s own construction office. New Jersey adopted the 2024 editions of its construction subcodes on August 17, 2026; the one- and two-family dwelling subcode is the International Residential Code 2024, New Jersey edition (N.J.A.C. 5:23-3.21), per the Division’s current-codes table, read September 2, 2026.
This guide covers Upper Freehold Township, Millstone Township (Monmouth), Allentown and Roosevelt, and each is its own municipality with its own construction office. We have not yet opened those offices and do not list them here; the state search above works in every one of them, and the permit office is found on each town’s own website.
Fee schedules are adopted by ordinance and change. Whether a particular job needs a permit is interpreted by the town’s own construction office, not by us. We publish what each municipality published, with the date we checked it — confirm with the office before you rely on it, and if any of it has changed, the correction address at the foot of this page is the fastest way to tell us.

Something out of date?
This guide is maintained. If anything here is wrong or has changed — a name, an address, a registration number, a certification, or whether a business has closed — tell us and we will check it. Businesses listed here are welcome to write in directly, and a company that publishes a registration number we have recorded as absent is exactly the kind of correction we want.
And if you run a roofing company that should be on this list and is not, write to us. We would rather be told than be incomplete. The test is the one at the top of this guide: that you install, repair or replace residential roofs, publish that work as a service on your own website, and hold an active registration. A company based in Upper Freehold Township, Millstone Township (Monmouth), Allentown or Roosevelt that shows us that goes on the page.
