Roofing for landlords and owner-occupants
Most of the older housing stock near downtown and the campus is wood-frame with pitched shingle roofs, porch roofs, and dormers added over the years. Those add-ons are where we see the most leaks. Further out, the neighborhoods off Route 27 and near Buccleuch Park have more single-family homes.
Neighborhoods we work in
- Porch and addition roofsLow porch roofs and add-on dormers were often built with little slope. They need the right materials to stay dry.
- Remote ownersIf you're not local, we send photos and a written scope so you can see the problem without driving over.
- Summer turnover timingMany owners want roofs done between leases. Call early in the spring to lock in a summer date.
What to know about roofs on New Brunswick's older homes
Most New Brunswick homes were built between the 1880s and the 1930s, and many near Rutgers have porches, dormers and add-on rooms built over the years. Those joints, where a smaller roof meets the house, are where leaks usually start. Raritan River flooding during Hurricanes Floyd in 1999 and Irene in 2011, and Ida's rain in 2021, are reminders that gutters and flashing need to keep up.
Herts Roofing & Construction knows that on New Brunswick's older frame houses, leaks usually start where a porch roof, dormer or add-on room meets the main house. We check every one of those joints, not just the main roof. For landlords near campus we send photos and a written scope, schedule around tenants, and handle roofing, siding and decks so the property is ready for the next lease. Book a free inspection.

New Brunswick roofing questions
I own a rental near Rutgers but don't live nearby. Can you still handle the job?
Yes. We do the inspection, send you photos and a written scope, and handle the work from start to finish. You can approve everything by phone and email, and we will coordinate access with your tenants.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available on roof replacements and larger projects. Ask about it at your estimate and we will send you the options.
Can you help with a storm damage claim?
We inspect, photograph and document the damage, and we can meet your adjuster. Whether the claim is approved is up to your insurer.
Do you go over the old roof or tear it off?
We tear off every layer down to the decking. That is the only way to find rotted wood and give you a roof that lasts.
