Waretown looks straight across Barnegat Bay at Old Barney. That view comes with wind, salt and weather. We build roofs that can take it.
Waretown is the bayside heart of Ocean Township, sitting between Barnegat and Forked River along Route 9. It is a working waterfront town with a laid-back feel, known for Albert Music Hall and the boats along the Waretown creek. It is also one of the more weather-exposed places on the mainland side of Barnegat Bay, with the lagoon neighborhoods of Skippers Cove and Pebble Beach sitting nearly at sea level with nothing between them and the open bay.
Dam Good Roofing has spent years on Waretown roofs, and the pattern is consistent. Waterfront homes lose shingles on the bay-facing slope first, usually along the rakes and ridges where wind uplift is strongest. Homes farther inland along Route 9 and in Greenbriar Oceanaire face a different problem: original roofs from the 1990s and 2000s that are quietly reaching the end of their lifespan without any dramatic failure to announce it.
We replace roofs in Waretown as complete systems, never as patches. That means a full tear-off, a decking inspection, ice and water shield in the valleys and along every eave, synthetic underlayment, upgraded starter and hip and ridge products, and shingles fastened to a high wind schedule. For bayfront homes we frequently recommend standing seam metal, which shrugs off salt air and wind in a way asphalt simply cannot.
Waretown is roughly 15 minutes north of our Manahawkin shop on Route 9.
Every town in Ocean County throws something different at a roof. Here is what we plan for in Waretown.
Nothing shelters the Waretown lagoons from a northeaster. Wind uplift at the ridge and rakes is the number one cause of shingle loss here, so we use six-nail fastening, high-wind starter strips and sealed hip and ridge caps on every waterfront roof.
Standard galvanized nails and flashing corrode quickly within sight of the bay. We upgrade to corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing metals on homes east of Route 9.
Roof replacements in Greenbriar Oceanaire need to match the community palette and pass association review. We have done this before and supply everything the board asks for.
Many Skippers Cove and Pebble Beach homes were lifted after Sandy but kept their pre-storm roofs. If your house was raised a decade ago, the roof is likely the oldest remaining component.

Waretown is the main community within Ocean Township in Ocean County. Permits go through Ocean Township, and we handle that paperwork for you.
Standing seam metal is our top recommendation for homes directly on the lagoons. It resists wind uplift and salt corrosion far better than shingles. If you prefer asphalt, we use high-wind rated architectural shingles with an upgraded fastening schedule.
We prioritize storm evaluations and can usually be there within a couple of days. Call or text and send photos if you have them so we can prepare.
