The Guide: Roofing Contractors in Long Branch, NJ

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.

Long Branch has its own roofers and shares almost none with the Somerset markets forty minutes inland. Two of the six companies in this guide keep premises, or are recorded by the state, inside the towns it covers — one in Long Branch and one in Oceanport. The rest are based in Eatontown and Ocean Township.

How We Selected These Companies

This guide covers six places: Long Branch, Interlaken, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst and Loch Arbour.

A company appears here if it installs, repairs or replaces residential roofs for homeowners in those towns, 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. For a company based outside the six towns, its own website has to name one of them, or Monmouth County, as somewhere it works, or its premises have to sit in Monmouth County within a few miles of them. 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. Six companies meet it and are in the tables.

What a company publishes about itself is not the criterion. It is the content. 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 meet the criteria described above — they perform residential roofing work for homeowners in the towns this guide covers, 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 verified against each company’s own website and against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs registrant record in September 2026.

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 Long Branch, Interlaken, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst and Loch Arbour. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

Which of These Companies Is Actually in Long Branch

Most homeowners asking whether a roofer is “local” are really asking two questions at once: will they come out for a repair rather than only a full replacement, and will they still be reachable in two years if the flashing leaks. Geography is only part of that, and it is the part that is easiest to check — and on the coast, where salt air and nor’easters shorten a roof’s life, it is also the part that decides who answers the phone the morning after a storm.

On geography, United Exteriors is in Long Branch and Wilcox Roofing is in Oceanport. The second table adds A&J Siding and Roofing in Eatontown, Green Apple Roofing in Ocean Township, More Core Construction in Ocean Township and Nasbor Contractors in Ocean Township.

A suite address is worth reading for what it is everywhere on this page, and the state registers two of the companies in this guide somewhere other than the town they publish. None of that is a mark against anybody. It is why the table carries both towns.

The Companies, Compared

Checked against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs Home Improvement Contractor registration search.

Registrations, registered entity names, statuses and towns were verified against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs registrant record, and services and credentials against each company’s own website and the manufacturer directories named in the entries, in September 2026.

A Note on Reading the Registration Column

Two of the six companies in the tables publish a New Jersey registration number on their own website. That is the first thing the table shows, and on its own it is only mildly interesting. The second thing it shows is the reason the column is split in two.

The registered name is often not the trading name. More Core Construction trades as Just Roof It. A&J Siding and Roofing is registered as A&J Siding LLC. Every one of those is lawful, ordinary and invisible to a homeowner typing a company name into the state’s search box — which matches the registered name from its first letters and returns nothing for the name on the estimate.

The registered town is not always the published town. A&J publishes Eatontown and is registered in Tinton Falls. Green Apple Roofing publishes Ocean Township and is registered in Belmar. A registered office and an operating office are different things and a company is entitled to both — but a homeowner checking a number has no way to know which one they are looking at.

How to check a registration yourself

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 the registration is, and what it is not

A 13VH registration means the business has registered with the state, carries commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, and is subject to the Contractors’ Registration Act. It is not a competency examination and it is not a trade license — New Jersey does not test roofers the way it tests electricians, plumbers or heating contractors. It tells you a business exists on the record and can be found again. That is worth having and it is not the same as skill.

Manufacturer certification is the closest thing this trade has to a graded credential, which is why it has its own column. GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred and CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster are awarded by the shingle manufacturers, carry installation-training and insurance requirements, and are what makes the long manufacturer warranties available in the first place. Where the column says “GAF directory”, we read the tier off GAF’s own public contractor listing; where it says “as published”, we read it off the company’s site and did not check it at the manufacturer.

The Companies

A&J Siding and Roofing, Eatontown

A&J Siding and Roofing publishes a Reynolds Drive address in Eatontown, its registration, 13VH11829400, and siding, roofs, windows, doors and gutters as its services; its Monmouth County list names Long Branch, West Long Branch, Deal, Eatontown, Red Bank and Shrewsbury, and its locations page claims all twenty-one New Jersey counties. Its site’s title tag spells the name “Sidding”, its phone carries a Westchester area code, and one testimonial block still holds the template’s placeholder text — all plainly visible and none of them a finding about the work. The state records A&J SIDING LLC as active in Tinton Falls.

Green Apple Roofing, Ocean Township

Green Apple Roofing works from Conaskonk Drive in Ocean Township and names every town in this guide on its areas-we-serve page, which runs to forty-four Monmouth County towns and thirty in Ocean County. It publishes its registration, 13VH11318100, on every page, describes itself as GAF Master Elite — which GAF’s directory confirms — and GAF GoldElite Commercial, names Ron Tal as its founder and 2008 as its founding year, and lists residential and commercial roofing, siding, gutters, skylights, windows and doors as its services. The state records GREEN APPLE ROOFING LLC as active in Belmar — not Ocean Township. Its site’s statistics counters render as zero beside its own claim of three thousand roofs; we quote neither.

More Core Construction, Ocean Township

More Core Construction, which trades as Just Roof It, works from Route 35 in Ocean Township, names every town in this guide on its service-area page, and carries a Long Branch page of its own. Ralph Tawil is named as founder and 2001 as the founding year; it publishes roof replacement, repair and emergency work, metal, tile and asphalt roofing, gutters, vinyl siding and replacement windows, and describes itself as Owens Corning Platinum Preferred and GAF Certified, with a long list of manufacturer names beside them. It publishes no registration number; the state records MORE CORE CONSTRUCTION, INC. as active in Ocean under 13VH00649900.

Nasbor Contractors, Ocean Township

Nasbor Contractors publishes Ocean Township and a ZIP code, no street and no service area, and describes itself as a family-owned business of “nearly 25 years” and a GAF Master Elite roofer, which GAF’s directory confirms at an Adams Avenue address in Oakhurst — inside this guide’s towns. It lists roofing, siding, windows and doors as its services. It publishes no registration number; the state records NASBOR CONTRACTORS LLC as active in Oakhurst under 13VH03954800, and it is here on that premises.

United Exteriors, Long Branch

United Exteriors is the company Google leads with for a Long Branch siding contractor and publishes Long Branch as its town — Google places it on Broadway — with no street on its own site. It describes itself as family-owned, “since 2010”, and lists roofing installation and replacement, siding and gutter installation and replacement as its services; it calls itself licensed and prints no number. The state records UNITED EXTERIORS INC as active in Long Branch under 13VH06222500, and it is one of two companies in this guide with premises inside the city.

Wilcox Roofing, Oceanport

Wilcox Roofing works from Lake Drive in Oceanport — inside this guide’s towns — and says it was founded in 1978 and has been at it “for the past 45 years”, naming Monmouth County as its territory with Oceanport and Monmouth Beach among its projects. It publishes residential and commercial roofing, siding, gutters, skylights and membrane roofing; GAF’s directory lists it as GAF Master Elite, which its own site does not say. It publishes no registration number; the state records WILCOX ROOFING LLC as active in Oceanport under 13VH00113900.

The Question This Table Cannot Answer Yet

Every company in the table lists roof repair as a service. Very few will actually come out and quote a single slipped shingle or a leaking flashing detail on a house they did not roof, and no website in this trade answers that question honestly, because there is no commercial reason to. On the coast, where a nor’easter can lift a course of shingles on a Tuesday night, it is the only question that matters.

We are asking it directly, company by company, and the answers will be published here as they arrive. Every company on this page has been asked. If you have called a roofer in these towns about a small repair, we would like to know what happened — whether they came, how long they took, and whether they quoted the repair or only a replacement.

Common Questions

Does a roofer in Long Branch, 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.

What does GAF Master Elite actually mean?

It is the top tier of GAF’s contractor programme, 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 in those two programmes. All are checkable in the manufacturer’s own contractor directory.

Does it matter that a roofer is based on the coast 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 — on the coast — whether the shingle and the nailing pattern are rated for the wind zone your town sits in.

Who Governs Roofing Work in Long Branch, 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, listed below. 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.

Every office above was opened and read on September 2, 2026. Names are published only where the municipality publishes them.

Long Branch takes all inquiries and inspection requests by email at Building@longbranch.org, and its staff directory lists Building & Development, Code Enforcement and Planning & Zoning as three separate departments — the permit is the first of those. This guide also covers Interlaken, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst and Loch Arbour, 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 same one every company here cleared: that you install, repair or replace residential roofs for homeowners in Long Branch, Interlaken, Oceanport, Deal, Allenhurst or Loch Arbour, and that you publish that work as a service on your own website. A permit pulled in one of those municipalities, a completed job, or your registration will do it. Show us that and you go on the page.
