Princeton's roofscape is a study in contrasts. You might own a Federal-era home near the Princeton University campus with original wood shingles buried under three generations of asphalt, or a Mid-century ranch in Jugtown with a low-slope deck that has settled and now ponds water after every storm. Both need different solutions. We handle them all with the same care: a full inspection first, then a plan that respects the structure's age and your budget.
We tear off failing layers down to the substrate, replace rotted decking, and install self-adhered ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys. On steep historic roofs, we hand-seal every nail head and use ring-shank nails so the shingles grip the deck through Nor'easter gusts. For flat or low-slope sections common on Mid-century ranches, we recover with a single-ply membrane that sheds water and resists ponding. Every crew follows staggered courses and a proper starter course, so the finished roof sheds water like it should.
Living in Princeton means planning for heavy wet snow that can overload a roof, and humid summers that wick moisture into decking and cause rot and decay. We schedule work around your life: we contain debris, protect landscaping, and finish the tear-off and replacement in as few days as possible. If a storm hits, we respond fast to stop leaks before water seeps into walls and ceilings. Call us at 732-419-1350 for a free estimate.
From Colonial-era homes near the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park to Mid-century ranches in Princeton Junction, we provide roof repair, replacement, and storm damage restoration across Princeton.
We recently replaced a slate-style asphalt roof on a Federal-era home in Jugtown, and the owners told us it was the first time a crew cleaned up so thoroughly they forgot we were there.
