New Roof Installation in Cranford, NJ

Building new or adding on to your Cranford home? The roof is the most critical envelope component — getting it right from the start means decades of worry-free performance. We work with builders, general contractors, and homeowners on new construction roofing throughout Union County.

New Construction Roofing in Cranford

With Cranford's charming downtown with a mix of Victorians, Colonials, and newer construction along the Rahway River, we see specific roofing patterns unique to this community. Our new installation services include:

• Custom home roofing — working from architectural plans to deliver the exact specification
• Additions and extensions — seamlessly tying new roof sections into existing structures
• Dormer installations — adding dormers for living space with proper flashing integration
• Garage and outbuilding roofing — matching or complementing your main home's roof
• Gut renovation roofing — full new roof systems on renovation projects
• Multi-family new construction — commercial-grade systems for apartment and condo buildings

Why Material Selection Matters for New Builds

New construction is the ideal time to invest in premium materials because you're not constrained by what's already there. For Cranford homes, we recommend considering:

• Impact-resistant shingles — many insurance companies offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-rated shingles
• Enhanced ventilation design — specify ridge vent and soffit intake from the framing stage
• High-performance underlayment — synthetic underlayment with superior tear resistance
• Extended ice and water shield — covering 6+ feet from the eave edge, not just the code minimum

Working With Your Builder

We coordinate directly with your general contractor to stay on schedule. Roofing is on the critical path — once the frame and sheathing are up, getting the roof on quickly protects the rest of the build from weather. We're 22 miles from Cranford, so we can mobilize quickly when the framing crew finishes.
