Roof repair, replacement, gutters, siding and windows for Carteret homes, from a family-owned Central Jersey contractor with 45+ years on the job.
Roofing for Carteret Homes
Carteret is in Middlesex County, inside the Central New Jersey area our Princeton-based crew has served for more than 45 years. Whether you live near Arthur Kill, Rahway River or Joseph Medwick Park, we handle roof repairs and full replacements, plus the gutters, siding and windows that go with them.
Carteret's housing is largely mid-century (median year built about 1956), with many Cape Cod-style homes and colonials.
Carteret sits on the Arthur Kill tidal strait. During Superstorm Sandy, storm surge flooded the waterfront up to 10 feet deep, and 200 homes in the borough were seriously damaged, some by flooding or downed trees.
Every job starts the same way: we get up on the roof, check the shingles, flashing, ventilation and decking, and give you a clear written estimate before any work begins. If a repair will do, we tell you that instead of selling you a roof.
