Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Bernardsville, NJ homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
Hard wind lifts shingles and works panel fasteners loose along the edges, which is exactly where the next storm gets underneath. We refasten, replace and reseal.
Backed out screws, split washers, rust starting at a seam, a panel lifted at the eave. These are our roofs, and most of the time a repair is all it takes.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
When a roof is genuinely finished we replace it, and we say so plainly rather than dressing it up. Metal and shingle priced side by side so you can compare real numbers.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Here is what working with us looks like in Bernardsville: you call, somebody comes out and measures, and you get a written estimate with the panel or the shingle spelled out on it. If you say go, we schedule you and we show up on that day.
The crew tarps the beds, keeps the yard picked up as they go, and runs a magnet over the drive before pulling out. Small things, but they are the ones Bernardsville homeowners still mention a year later.
Why people around Bernardsville call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Straight answers to what Bernardsville homeowners ask us most often.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Bernardsville roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
No. Estimates are always free in Bernardsville. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Bernardsville metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Bernardsville metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
A metal roof installed properly on a Bernardsville home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Bernardsville roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
