Your roofing contractor in Union County, NJ
We are a roofing contractor in Union County, NJ, working from our Englewood shop about 45 minutes away. The county's older towns grew along the railroad lines, which is why Westfield, Cranford, Summit and Plainfield are full of Victorians, Tudors and early 1900s colonials, while towns like Clark and Kenilworth and parts of Union and Springfield filled in after the war. Most of our work here is roof repair on complicated older roofs, slate and tile, and roof replacement.
Roofers in Union County see every roof shape there is, often on the same street. We give each one a fixed written price and back it with a 10-year workmanship guarantee, the same from a roofing company in Union County as it is at home in Bergen.
Union County homes and the roofs on them
Westfield and Plainfield have large collections of Victorian and Queen Anne houses, with turrets, dormers, deep eaves and decorative trim that all need flashing, and Plainfield's Van Wyck Brooks and Crescent Area historic districts are full of them. Summit's hill sections carry Tudors and Colonial Revivals, many with slate, and Cranford and Fanwood add early 1900s homes on tree-lined streets.
Elizabeth, the county seat, is older and denser: two- and three-family houses, row houses and brick commercial buildings, with a lot of low-slope roofs. Rahway, Linden and Roselle mix older homes with post-war capes, and the towns along the Watchung Reservation, like Mountainside, Berkeley Heights and New Providence, are mostly mid-century and newer colonials and split-levels.
Union County weather and your roof
The Watchung ridge gives Summit, Berkeley Heights and Mountainside more wind and a little more snow than the towns closer to the bay. Everywhere in the county, mature trees drop limbs in storms and fill gutters in fall, and older homes with little attic ventilation get ice dams most winters. Nor'easters bring the wind-driven rain that finds tired flashing on complex Victorian roofs.
Roofing permits in Union County
Each of Union County's 21 municipalities issues its own construction permit. Westfield and Plainfield have historic districts, so a designated home there can need review before a roof permit is issued; most homes need only the standard permit. We handle the application, any review and the inspections.

Reviews from across Union County.
Honest from the first call. They told me my roof had two more years in it and to call them back then, instead of selling me a $20k replacement.
