Union County Roofing Contractor
GAF-certified roof installation, repair, storm damage restoration, and siding for homeowners across Union County, NJ, from Elizabeth and Westfield to Plainfield and Summit. Free inspection, written estimate, no sales pressure.
Roofing & Siding Across Union County
Union County covers a lot of ground in a small footprint, the dense, industrial city of Elizabeth and neighboring Linden, older rental-heavy towns like Hillside and Roselle, historic Victorian neighborhoods in Plainfield, and the affluent, tree-lined streets of Westfield and Summit, often within a few miles of each other.
That mix means different roofing considerations depending on where you are. Elizabeth and Linden have plenty of flat and commercial roofs that need a different system than standard shingles. Plainfield's Van Wyck Brooks Historic District and Westfield's designated landmarks carry slate roofs and often require historic preservation approval before any visible change. We've worked through both, and everything in between.
We're GAF-certified and NJ-licensed. Whether it's a single-family reroof or a commercial job in Elizabeth, every estimate starts with a straightforward assessment, not a pitch.

What We See Most Often in Union County
Union County covers everything from industrial and commercial properties to Victorian historic districts to established suburban streets. Here's what that means for your roof.
Flat and Commercial Roofing in Elizabeth and Linden
Elizabeth is the county seat and one of the state's most industrial cities, and Linden carries a lot of commercial and light-industrial property alongside its neighborhoods. Both towns have plenty of flat and low-slope roofs, on multi-family buildings and commercial properties alike, that need a rubber, TPO, or modified bitumen system rather than standard shingles.
Victorian and Historic Homes in Plainfield and Westfield
Plainfield's Van Wyck Brooks Historic District is full of Late Victorian and Queen Anne mansions with slate, copper, and decorative rooflines, and Westfield has 26 individually designated historic landmarks under its own Historic Preservation Commission. A material or color change on a home in either district usually needs a Certificate of Appropriateness first, though Westfield does offer an expedited short-form path for a like-for-like or similar-look replacement. We're familiar with both processes.
Suburban Roofs Reaching the End of Their Lifespan
Summit, Mountainside, New Providence, Berkeley Heights, Cranford, and Scotch Plains have a lot of solid colonial revival and mid-century homes whose original roofs are simply reaching the end of their lifespan. These are usually straightforward full tear-off and re-roof jobs, no historic review or specialty materials needed.
Older Rental and Two-Family Homes Needing Durable Roofs
Hillside, Roselle, Roselle Park, and parts of Union Township have a lot of two- and three-family homes that have been through years of rental use and deferred maintenance. For landlords, we focus on materials and workmanship that hold up under regular tenant turnover, not just the lowest price today.

How much does a new roof cost in Union County, NJ?
Most full roof replacements on a standard shingle roof in Union County run between $8,000 and $22,000, depending on size and pitch. Slate restoration on a historic Plainfield or Westfield home runs considerably higher, and flat or commercial roofs in Elizabeth or Linden are priced by the square rather than as a whole-roof job. A free, on-site inspection gets you an exact number, not a phone estimate.
My home is in Westfield's or Plainfield's historic district. Do I need approval before replacing my roof?
In most cases, yes. A material or color change on a home in a designated historic district typically requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the town's historic preservation commission before work starts. Westfield offers an expedited short-form review for a like-for-like or similar-look replacement, which we can help you prepare.
Do you handle flat or commercial roofs in Elizabeth and Linden?
Yes. We work on flat and low-slope roofs on multi-family and commercial buildings throughout Elizabeth, Linden, and the rest of Union County's denser towns, using rubber (EPDM), TPO, or modified bitumen systems depending on the building.
How fast can you respond to storm damage in Union County?
Our average response time is under an hour. Call as soon as it's safe, and we'll inspect the roof, tarp any exposed areas, and document everything for your insurance claim.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Union County, NJ?
Yes, fully licensed under NJ HIC #13VH13913000 and insured. Our GAF certification also means our roof installations qualify for GAF's top-tier manufacturer warranties.
