On the skinniest part of LBI, your roof is the first thing the ocean and the bay argue over. We build it to win.
Harvey Cedars occupies the narrowest section of Long Beach Island. In places the borough is only a few hundred yards from ocean to bay, which makes it one of the most weather-exposed residential communities in New Jersey. The town is small, quiet and home to Sunset Park on the bay, the Harvey Cedars Bible Conference on the ocean, and some of the most carefully built coastal homes on the island.
Homeowners in Harvey Cedars generally already understand that a roof here is not an ordinary roof. Wind loads are higher, salt exposure is constant on every slope, and the consequences of a failure during a winter storm are severe when the house may sit unoccupied for weeks. Many owners have moved to standing seam metal for exactly these reasons, and it is the system we most often recommend on the north end of the island.
Dam Good Roofing installs both premium asphalt and standing seam metal roofing in Harvey Cedars. Every system is specified for the exposure: corrosion-resistant fasteners and clips, sealed underlayment, full ice and water shield coverage and wind-rated edge details. We coordinate with your property manager if you are off island and document the entire job with photos so you can see the work from anywhere.
Harvey Cedars is about 30 minutes from our Manahawkin shop, over the causeway and north along the Boulevard.
Every town in Ocean County throws something different at a roof. Here is what we plan for in Harvey Cedars.
There is no leeward side of a Harvey Cedars home. Wind, salt and spray hit every slope. We spec the whole roof, not just the ocean-facing side, for maximum exposure.
Standing seam metal is the dominant choice here for good reason, but it must be installed with concealed clips, proper thermal movement allowances and a high-temperature underlayment. We do all three.
Many Harvey Cedars homes are empty from fall to spring. We install redundant water protection and offer post-storm check-ins so a small issue does not turn into an interior loss.
Custom coastal homes here often have multiple roof planes, flat sections, clerestories and rooftop decks. We coordinate membrane and metal or shingle transitions so every seam is engineered, not improvised.

Because they last. Standing seam metal handles wind uplift and salt corrosion far better than asphalt, and on the narrowest part of LBI those are the only two things that matter. It costs more up front but typically lasts twice as long.
We install both. Premium high-wind architectural shingles with a full ocean-rated installation are a legitimate option, and we will explain the cost and lifespan trade-offs so you can choose.
Most of our Harvey Cedars clients are off island during the work. We coordinate access with your caretaker or property manager, send daily photo updates, and walk you through the completed roof by video or on your next visit.
Yes. The borough requires a construction permit and inspection for full replacement. We file and coordinate everything.
