Why Choose Us for Roofing

A Roofing Contractor Who Also Knows Chimneys

We handle both — so the flashing, the chimney-to-roof seal, and the surrounding shingles all get done as one coordinated job. No finger-pointing between contractors, no gaps in responsibility.

  • GAF and Owens Corning materials on every roofing job
  • Chimney flashing done right — because we're chimney specialists first
  • On-the-spot pricing after a thorough roof assessment
  • Strong warranty on full replacements — backed by materials and workmanship
  • Full cleanup and debris hauling — your property left spotless

Roofing: What NJ Homeowners Should Know

Roof Repairs

Not every roof problem means a full replacement. Wind-lifted shingles, small leaks around vents or skylights, and isolated storm damage can usually be repaired without touching the rest of the roof. The key is catching it early — a small leak left alone for a season turns into rotted decking, mold in the attic, and a much bigger bill.

We see a lot of repair calls in NJ after nor'easters and summer thunderstorms. High winds pull shingles loose, hail cracks them, and heavy rain finds every weak point in the roof system. We'll identify exactly where the problem is, fix it with matching materials, and make sure the surrounding area is solid too — not just the one spot where the leak showed up.

If we find during the repair that the damage is more widespread — extensive decking rot, multiple layers of old shingles, or a roof that's past its life expectancy — we'll tell you straight. Sometimes a repair buys you a few more years. Sometimes a replacement is the smarter investment. Either way, you get an honest answer.

Full Replacement

A full roof replacement means stripping everything down to the decking and starting fresh — new underlayment, new shingles, new flashing, new ridge vents. It's the right call when the existing roof is at or past its expected lifespan, when there's widespread damage across multiple sections, or when layering new shingles over old ones isn't an option.

We use GAF and Owens Corning shingles — two of the most trusted names in residential roofing. Both brands offer strong manufacturer warranties, and we add our own workmanship warranty on top. The combination gives you protection from both the material side and the installation side. We'll help you choose the right product for your home, your budget, and your aesthetic preference.

Full replacements also include new chimney flashing. Because we're chimney specialists, the flashing work is done correctly from both the roof side and the masonry side. That's a detail that matters — a lot of roof leaks traced back to chimney areas happen because the roofer didn't integrate the flashing with the chimney properly.

Storm Damage

NJ gets its share of rough weather. Nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, the occasional tropical system — all of them can damage a roof in a single event. Wind lifts shingles and breaks their seal. Hail cracks shingle surfaces and dents metal flashing. Falling branches puncture decking. And heavy, wind-driven rain finds every gap that was holding up fine in normal conditions.

After a major storm, the first step is a thorough inspection — not just the roof surface, but the flashing, ridge caps, vents, gutters, and chimney. Storm damage isn't always visible from the ground. Hail damage, for example, often looks fine from a distance but shows up clearly when you're standing on the shingles. We check everything and document what we find.

If you're filing an insurance claim, we can provide the documentation you need — photos, a scope of damage, and a detailed estimate. We work with homeowners through the claims process and make sure nothing gets missed. The goal is getting your roof back to where it should be, fully covered and fully protected.

Gutters & Drainage

Gutters are part of the roof system, even though most people think of them separately. Their job is to move water away from your home — off the roof, down the downspouts, and away from the foundation. When gutters clog, sag, or pull away from the fascia, water backs up. That backed-up water can get under the shingles, rot the fascia board, and even damage your chimney's flashing from the side.

We handle gutter repairs and replacements as part of our roofing work. If you're getting a new roof, it usually makes sense to assess the gutters at the same time — especially if they're original to the house. Replacing both at once means the whole water management system is new, properly pitched, and integrated with the new roof edge.

Keeping gutters clean and functional is one of the easiest things a homeowner can do to protect their roof and chimney. Check them twice a year — once in spring after the pollen and seeds drop, and once in late fall after the leaves are done. Our maintenance guide covers seasonal upkeep in more detail.

Chimney-Roof Connection

This is where most roofing contractors fall short — and it's our biggest advantage. The point where your chimney meets the roof is one of the most leak-prone areas on any house. Step flashing, counter flashing, and the seal between the masonry and the roof surface all have to work together. When one piece fails, water finds its way in.

A lot of "chimney leaks" are actually roof leaks at the flashing line. And a lot of "roof leaks" near the chimney are actually flashing failures on the masonry side. Because we handle both chimney work and roofing, we don't play the blame game between two trades. We own the entire connection and make sure it's sealed properly from both directions.

If you're getting a roof replacement and your chimney is older, it's worth having us look at the chimney at the same time. We can bundle the work — new roof, new flashing, and any chimney repairs that make sense while we're already up there. One project, one crew, one point of accountability.

Materials We Use

We use GAF and Owens Corning shingles — period. Both are top-tier manufacturers with decades of proven performance in the Northeast. They offer the best combination of durability, warranty coverage, and aesthetic options for NJ homes. We're not locked into one brand over the other — we'll recommend whichever product is the best fit for your specific roof and budget.

GAF's Timberline series is one of the most popular architectural shingles in the country for a reason — strong wind rating, good impact resistance, and a clean look that works on most home styles. Owens Corning's Duration line is comparable and comes with its own set of color options and warranty tiers. We carry both and can walk you through the differences.

Beyond the shingles, we use quality underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, and proper ridge ventilation. The shingles get all the attention, but the layers underneath are what determine how long your roof actually lasts. We don't cut corners on the stuff you can't see. Visit our blog for more info on choosing the right roofing materials for your home.

Roofing Questions NJ Homeowners Ask

Age is the biggest factor. Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years depending on the product and conditions. If your roof is approaching that range and you're seeing widespread granule loss, curling shingles, or multiple active leaks, a replacement is probably the better investment. Isolated damage — a few missing shingles after a storm, a single leak around a vent — is usually a repair. We'll give you an honest assessment either way.

GAF and Owens Corning — two of the most trusted names in residential roofing. Both offer architectural shingles with strong wind and impact ratings, a range of color options, and solid manufacturer warranties. We'll help you pick the right product based on your roof, your budget, and the look you want.

Yes — and that's one of the biggest reasons homeowners choose us. We're chimney specialists who also do roofing, so the flashing between your chimney and roof is done correctly from both the masonry side and the roofing side. No subcontracting, no gaps in the seal, no finger-pointing if something leaks later.

Most residential roof replacements take one to three days depending on the size of the roof and the weather. Larger or more complex roofs — steep pitches, multiple layers to tear off, extensive decking repair — can take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate and keep you updated throughout the job.

We can document the damage thoroughly — photos, scope of work, and a detailed estimate — which is exactly what your insurance company needs to process a claim. We work with homeowners through the process and make sure nothing gets overlooked. We recommend contacting your insurance provider first to open a claim, then scheduling our inspection so we can provide the documentation.

Yes. Gutter repairs and replacements are part of our roofing services. If you're getting a new roof, it usually makes sense to assess the gutters too — replacing both at once means the whole water management system is new and properly integrated. We also handle standalone gutter work if the roof is in good shape but the gutters need attention.

You get two layers of protection: the manufacturer's warranty on the shingles (GAF and Owens Corning both offer strong coverage on their architectural lines), plus our own workmanship warranty on the installation. We'll walk you through the specifics before work begins so you know exactly what's covered and for how long.
