Quick Answers
We’ve been roofing South Brunswick since 2012, and we hear the same questions every time. Here’s the straight talk on shingle roofing—no fluff, just what you need to know.
Cost varies by roof size, pitch, and shingle grade. For a typical 2,000 sq ft home, you’re looking at $6,000–$12,000 installed. We use top brands like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning—pricing includes tear-off, underlayment, and a workmanship warranty. Get a free estimate tailored to your home: Get Your Free Estimate.
We recommend architectural asphalt shingles (e.g., GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark) for our freeze-thaw cycles and storm seasons. They’re impact-resistant, wind-rated up to 130 mph, and backed by manufacturer warranties. Malarkey and IKO also offer algae-resistant options for our humid summers.
Most residential jobs take 1–3 days, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward 2,000 sq ft roof with a moderate pitch is usually done in two days. We work around weather, and we’ll give you a timeline upfront. Our crew has been serving neighborhoods near Cranbury Brook and Route 130 for 14 years—we’re efficient and clean.

We don’t recommend it. Roofing is dangerous—falls cause serious injuries—and improper installation voids manufacturer warranties. A pro ensures proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation. With our 14 years of experience, you get a roof that lasts 25–30 years. DIY might save a few bucks upfront, but leaks and repairs cost more later. Let us handle it.
