Why Homeowners Pick CRS
-
Local Business
Based in Basking Ridge, NJ. We are not an out-of-state storm crew that shows up after a nor'easter and disappears. We answer the phone and stand behind our warranty years after the job is done.
-
Licensed & Fully Insured
Licensed under the NJ Home Improvement Contractor Act and fully insured. You can verify our HIC number through the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs before you sign anything. We provide proof of insurance before work begins.
-
Professional Inspection
A roofer walks every slope, checks every flashing detail, and inspects the attic where access allows. You get a written report with photos, a clear explanation of any problem areas, and our honest recommendation.
-
Honest Recommendation
If a repair will hold, we say repair. If your roof has five good years left, we say so in the inspection notes and walk away from the replacement job. We do not sell work you do not need.
-
Experienced Crews
Every crew is held to the same written standard on every job, with years of hands-on NJ roofing experience behind them. A CRS field supervisor is on your project from the first tear-off through the final walkthrough.
-
Clean Job Sites
We protect landscaping before we start and run a magnetic nail sweep across the work area at the end of every day. When we load out, your yard is in better shape than when we showed up.
What we do
Residential Roofing Services
One local, licensed team for everything your roof needs, from full replacements to ongoing protection.
-
Roof Replacement
A full tear-off and a new roof system, with a locked written price and a specific finish date. Most NJ single-family homes go from tear-off to final cleanup in one to two work days. Backed by our workmanship guarantee plus the manufacturer warranty on whichever shingle system you pick.
Typical NJ home: $10,000 to $25,000. Your exact number is in writing after the free inspection.
-
Roof Repair
A leak in your ceiling rarely starts above where the water shows up inside. We find the actual failure point, write up the fix, and price it before we touch anything. Same-week scheduling on most repairs.
Typical NJ repair: $300 to $1,500+ depending on what is actually failing.
-
Roof Cleaning & Restoration
Cleaning and a protective coating can add five to ten years to a sound asphalt roof, at about a quarter the cost of a full replacement. Not every roof qualifies. We confirm at the free inspection whether yours does before we recommend it.
Typical NJ restoration: $1,500 to $4,000 on most single-family homes.
-
Protection Plans
Annual coverage that protects the roof you paid for. Plan features include yearly inspections, gutter cleaning, priority response after storms, and discounts on future work.
Annual tiered pricing. Quoted after your roof is measured.
-
Community Association
Multi-unit roofing for HOAs, condo boards, and property managers. Board-ready written scopes, per-unit scheduling that respects resident access, and reserve-study-friendly documentation.
Quoted per project after a site visit.

Common questions
FAQs
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. Residential roof inspections in New Jersey are completely free. Community association and commercial inspections are available for a fee. After the inspection we show you photos of what we found and give you our honest recommendation. There is no obligation to move forward if work is not needed.
What does a CRS roof inspection include?
A CRS roofer inspects your roof surface, flashing, penetrations, and the attic where accessible. We photograph every problem area and explain what we found. Then we give you our honest recommendation. That could be a repair, a replacement, a restoration, or no work at all if the roof is sound.
How fast will someone contact me after I submit the form?
You receive a same-business-day callback on every form submission. Inspections are usually scheduled within one to two business days. Active leaks and storm damage get priority routing. Call us directly for the fastest response to an active leak or emergency tarping request.
How long does a NJ roof replacement take?
Most NJ single-family homes complete in one to two days from tear-off through final cleanup. Larger or more complex roof geometry runs closer to three days. Weather can extend the timeline but the locked written price does not change. You receive a specific finish date in writing before any work begins.
How much does a new roof cost in New Jersey?
Replacing a roof in NJ typically costs $10,000 to $25,000 for a single-family home, depending on square footage, pitch, material, and county permit fees. Asphalt shingles run $8,000 to $15,000. Metal roofing starts around $18,000. A free inspection gives you an accurate number for your specific home.
Will CRS help with my insurance claim for storm damage?
CRS documents storm and hail damage, provides written estimates, and is available during the adjuster visit to walk through our findings. We do not file, negotiate, or settle insurance claims on your behalf. That is the homeowner’s role. We recommend a licensed public adjuster for complex or disputed claims.
I'm already a CRS client. How do I schedule service?
Existing customers, workmanship warranty claims, and Protection Plan members can use our dedicated service request form. Submit your request and a team member will contact you within one business day to confirm your appointment. Emergency tarping requests are handled by calling our office directly for fastest routing.
