Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Cranford, NJ homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Cranford.
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.
Full tear off, decking checked board by board, then a new metal or shingle roof over proper underlayment. You get the price and the start date before anything comes off.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Porch roofs, additions and low slope sections that hold water instead of shedding it. We rework the flashing, seal the seams, and get water moving again.
Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain is rarely under the hole. We trace the leak back to where it really starts and fix that.
We repair standing seam, exposed fastener panels and metal shingles, and we match the color as closely as the paint system will allow.
Careful footwork, matched materials, and flashing done the way it was done when the roof went on.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. We get the opening closed, photograph it for your insurance, and put the real fix on the schedule.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
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.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
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.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Our crews in Cranford work the way this family has always worked — on time, cleaned up, and finished before anybody calls it finished. You will know who is coming, what day they are coming, and what the number is before anything starts.
If weather moves your Cranford job, we call you. If we open the roof and find rotten decking, we show you the boards and price the change before we touch it. Nobody likes surprises on a roof, us included.
Here is what Cranford homeowners tell us makes the difference.
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.
Beds get covered, tear off gets hauled as we go, and a magnet goes over the drive before we pull out. Your yard should look like we were never there.
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.
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.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
A typical Cranford shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
For most Cranford homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Most Cranford metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Cranford 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.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Cranford 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.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Cranford year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
