Want us to handle your roof
problems in Basking Ridge NJ. ?

Commercial and residential,
any type of roof system.

Some roof leaks are due to minor problems and roof repair can be needed at any given moment. But if a leak or a repair that is needed is left unattened, it could lead to more extreme problems in the future. After a heavy season of snow or rain, a roof can often start leaking and might continue to leak after every rain storm or just on occasions. Either way, you should get your roof examined for damaged and/or if necessary, roof replacement. In most cases a roof will just need some repair, although if the cost of the repair will average thirty to fifty percent of the roof cost, you would be better off re-roofing it. In that situation you get 20 to 25 years of life expectancy of the new roof and save a lot of money on repairs you won’t need to do.

Getting a new roof installed on your home can be rather costly investment for the homeowner and in most cases, just below ten thousand dollars to even well above twenty thousand. And these prices vary depending on the location of the home, the size of the roof, the installation difficulty such as slope and height of the roof, and the material needed for the job.

When a leak does occur, you may get recommendations to repair it or to re-roof the whole house. Typical shingle roofs may last up to 20 to 25 years, but only if the installation process is done properly.

The recorded history of Basking Ridge goes back to 1717, when John Harrison, an agent of King James III, bought most of what is now Bernards Township from Chief Nowenok of the Leni Lenape Indians for the equivalent of $50. According to Mrs. Kennedy, the first settlers were English and Scottish Presbyterians escaping religious persecution. The name "Basking Ridge" first appeared in the records of the Presbyterian Church in 1733. The writer noted that wild animals from the surrounding lowlands would bask in the sunlight on the ridge. At that time, the church was a log cabin on what is now East Oak Street. The current Presbyterian Church, built in 1839, is the third on the site and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The name Bernards Township was given to the area in 1760 by King George II to honor Sir Francis Bernard, Provincial Governor of New Jersey from 1758 to 1760.
