Herts Roofing & Construction is a Perth Amboy roofing contractor for the city's older homes and waterfront properties. We offer roof repair, full replacement, storm damage inspections, siding, gutters and decks, all installed to stand up to wind and salt air off the bay. Since 2015 we've earned 4.9 stars across 126 Google reviews for professional crews, clear written pricing and work backed by a 15-year workmanship warranty.
Tell us what you need and we will set up a free inspection, take photos and give you a written price. No pressure and no obligation.
Most Perth Amboy homes were built between the late 1800s and the 1930s, so many are now around 100 years old, with steep roofs and chimneys just blocks from the bay. Salt air wears out flashing, and storms like Hurricane Sandy in 2012 hit the waterfront hard. On homes this age, what's under the shingles matters just as much as the shingles themselves.
Herts Roofing & Construction knows Perth Amboy's older homes, and we inspect them the way they need to be inspected before we give you a price. Near the water we build with corrosion-resistant metals and high-wind installation, and the same crew can take care of your siding and deck too. Book a free inspection.
A quick look from the driveway can't tell you what is under a 100-year-old roof. On Perth Amboy homes we often find solid plank boards instead of plywood, two or three old roofs stacked up, settled chimneys and flashing worn thin by salt air, so we check for all of it before we price the job.
You get photos of what we find and a written price that already accounts for it, so there are no surprises once the old roof comes off. That is the difference between a roofer who knows these houses and one who is guessing.
Book a free inspectionNear the waterfront we use high-wind nailing patterns, sealed starter strips at every edge, and corrosion-resistant flashing. In the older neighborhoods further inland, the main problems are aging decks under multiple roof layers and chimneys that need rebuilding or reflashing.
Cheap galvanized flashing rusts through near the water. We use aluminum or coated metals that last.
Shingles at the edges and ridge go first in a storm. Proper starter strips and nailing keep them down.
Older homes often have plank decking under several roofs. We replace rotted boards before the new roof goes on.
Check anything you've noticed. Stay off the roof, and look from the ground.
If you don't see any of these, your roof probably came through fine. When in doubt, a free inspection settles it.
