A New Jersey Roofing Company Built Around Replacement and New Roofs

Colonial Roof Service is a roofing company in New Jersey that does a short list of things: roof replacement, new roof installation, the roof repairs that come up along the way, and the gutters and gutter guards that go with a roof. Keeping the list short is deliberate. Most of what goes wrong with a roof happens at the edges, where shingles meet flashing, walls, valleys and gutters, and those edges are easier to get right when one crew is responsible for all of them.

Much of the housing in North and Central Jersey went up between the 1920s and the 1970s: colonials in Essex and Union, Cape Cods and split-levels across Middlesex and Bergen, larger colonials out in Somerset and Monmouth. A lot of those roofs have been re-covered more than once. So every job starts the same way, with an inspection on the roof and in the attic, a count of the layers, and photos. If a repair will hold, we say so. If the roof is done, we explain why and put the full scope in writing.

When we replace a roof, the old layers come off, the deck gets checked and repaired, and the new roof goes on as a system: ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashing, shingles, and balanced attic ventilation. New Jersey requires home improvement contractors to be registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs, and we encourage every homeowner to look any contractor up before signing anything, us included.
