Age of New Jersey housing and its owners
New Jersey's housing is among the oldest in the country. In table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024), 62.8% of the state's housing units were built before 1980, and 658,007 units date from 1939 or earlier. The median year structure built is 1970 in table B25035 for the same estimates.
Ownership sets the reach of a roofing campaign. Table B25003 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) counts 2,239,128 owner-occupied units among 3,507,701 occupied units in New Jersey. Apartment buildings and rented houses make up the rest, and their tenants do not sign roof contracts.
New Jersey hail and storm declarations since 2023
Hail was rare in New Jersey in 2025. The NOAA Storm Events 2025 details file contains 8 New Jersey records with event type Hail, 41st of the 50 states in that file.
One declaration falls inside this page's FEMA count. FEMA's Disaster Declarations Summaries list DR-4725, a severe storm and flooding declaration made on August 11, 2023, as the only New Jersey major disaster from January 1, 2023 through October 7, 2026 in the severe storm, tornado or hurricane categories.
How these figures were counted: each hail record is one county or forecast zone affected on one 2025 date. Declarations are counted once each if FEMA typed the incident as a severe storm, tornado or hurricane or named one in the title; declarations titled only for severe winter storms are excluded.
Contractor registration rules that apply to New Jersey roof jobs
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
New Jersey regulates home improvement work through business registration with the Division of Consumer Affairs, under the Contractors' Business Registration Act that begins at N.J.S.A. 56:8-136. The Division's registration FAQ (as of October 2026) defines home improvements to include repairing and renovating residential property, and states that out-of-state businesses and subcontractors must also register. It notes that P.L. 2023, c.237 amended the Act and added new requirements for both new applicants and renewals.
According to the same Division FAQ (as of October 2026), a registered business must file proof of commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation coverage unless exempt, and an additional security such as a compliance bond or a bank letter of credit. That security runs from $10,000 to $50,000 depending on contract values. Registered businesses must also use written contracts for jobs costing more than $500 and display their registration number in advertising, on business cards and on commercial vehicles.
The annual renewal rule and the homeowner's cancellation right after signing are covered on leads in New Jersey.
What New Jersey roofing buyers filter on
With older homes and few hail records, New Jersey campaigns tend to be set up around these fields:
- Project type: repair, leak, or full replacement on older roofs, rather than storm inspection alone.
- Homeowner status: owners only, since tenants in rented units cannot approve the work.
- ZIP code: many campaigns stop at the state line inside the New York and Philadelphia metro areas.
- Insurance claim status: still captured, for the jobs that follow a storm such as the one behind DR-4725.
