Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Chatsworth, 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 Chatsworth.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Removing the ice is the easy half. We also look at ventilation and insulation so it stops happening every January.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
We work around your hours, weekends included when that is what it takes to keep your doors open while the roof goes on.
A careful walk over the whole roof — panels, shingles, valleys, flashing, fasteners — plus the attic side when there is a way in. You get photos and a straight answer.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
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.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
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.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Metal is what we are known for. Since 2002 the bulk of our work has been standing seam and metal panel roofs, and it is still what most Chatsworth homeowners call us about. We measure on site, help you settle on a color, and set the panels straight.
We do shingle roofs too, and plenty of them. But if you have been thinking about a tin roof on your Chatsworth home, that is the conversation we enjoy most — panel type, color, trim, and what it is really going to cost.
Here is what Chatsworth 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.
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.
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.
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.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Chatsworth 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.
Plenty of them. Most Chatsworth customers choose from around twenty standard colors, and green, burgundy, bronze, black, gray, tan and barn red are the ones people pick most. We bring the color chart out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Chatsworth 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.
No. Estimates are always free in Chatsworth. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Chatsworth metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
For most Chatsworth 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.
