Professional Roofing Services Across New Jersey

From small repairs to full replacements, CRS helps protect New Jersey properties long term.

Book Your Free Inspection

Certified Roofing Specialists Inc. provides five roofing services in NJ: roof replacement, roof repair, roof cleaning and restoration, protection plans, and community association roofing. Every residential job starts with a free written inspection that tells you which one your roof actually needs. We are a licensed local company based in Basking Ridge, serving five New Jersey counties.

The hardest part of hiring a roofer is not the work. It is knowing what you actually need before someone with a financial stake tells you. So we built this page to do the sorting for you. Below is a plain comparison of all five services, a quick way to find the one that fits your situation, and the honest path to a written answer with no pressure.

Which Service Do I Need?

Match your situation to the right starting point. When two seem to fit, the free inspection settles it. We would rather point you to the smaller job than sell you the bigger one.

Water is coming in right now. Start with repair and call us. Most leaks are one failure point, and emergency tarping can stop the water today.

The roof is 20-plus years old or failing in several spots. You are likely looking at replacement. The inspection confirms it in writing.

The roof is 10 to 18 years old, sound, just looking tired. Ask about restoration. It can add years for a fraction of replacement, if it qualifies.

You just got a new roof or want to stay ahead of problems. A protection plan keeps it inspected and documented every year.

You manage an HOA, condo, or multi-building property. Start with a community association assessment for a board-ready proposal.

Still not sure? One free inspection answers it. Request your free inspection or call (201) 841-3858.

Why Homeowners Pick CRS

  • Local New Jersey Company

    Based in Basking Ridge and built on real New Jersey roofing experience, not an out-of-state storm crew that disappears after the job. We answer the phone and we are here for the warranty.

  • Licensed and Fully Insured

    Fully licensed and insured for safe, professional roofing work. You can verify our New Jersey home improvement contractor license through the Division of Consumer Affairs before you sign anything.

  • Free Written Inspection

    A licensed 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 the 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 bigger job. We would rather earn your trust now and your replacement when you actually need it.

  • Trusted Crews, Written Standard

    We use crews with years of experience in NJ roofing, and every crew is held to the same written standard on every job. The person on your roof knows what a proper flashing detail and nailing pattern look like.

  • Clean Job Sites

    We protect landscaping before we start and sweep every nail with a magnet at the end of each day. When we load out, your yard is in better shape than when we showed up, and your gutters are left clean.

What we do

Roofing Services We Offer

Every service starts with a licensed local team and a free inspection, from full replacements to ongoing protection.

Every CRS Project, Start to Finish

  • Professional Inspection

    A licensed CRS roofer checks every slope, flashing detail, and accessible attic area, shows you photos of what we found, and gives an honest recommendation. There is no obligation to move forward if work is not needed.

  • Clear Scope and Schedule

    If you choose to move forward, you get a written scope of work, a project schedule, and the price in writing before any work begins. If we find something that changes the job, we stop and get your written approval before continuing.

  • Installation and Cleanup

    Our crew works to manufacturer specifications, protects your landscaping during the job, and runs a magnetic nail sweep across the work area at the end of every work day. You know what is happening at each stage before it happens.

  • Final Walkthrough

    Before we leave, a CRS team member walks the property with you, confirms every detail meets our standard, and hands over your project packet and workmanship guarantee. If anything is not right, we make it right before we go.

Residential and Community Association Roofing

CRS serves two kinds of customers, and the process is different for each. Homeowners get a free written inspection with photos and a real cost range, and the deposit-at-signing, balance-at-completion structure that protects you from paying for work you have not received. Community associations get a paid per-building assessment, a scope written in reserve-study categories, and a phased install with resident communication run through one foreman. If you are an HOA board member or property manager, start on the community association roofing page.

How CRS Works, and Why It Earns Trust

Roofing is a market most people already suspect is full of bad actors, so we run the opposite playbook. We show you photos of what we find, write the scope and price in line items before any work, and never ask for full payment upfront. We tell you when a repair will do instead of a replacement, and we say so in writing. You can verify our New Jersey home improvement contractor license through the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs before you sign anything. For code and permit questions, the NJ Division of Codes and Standards is the authority, and material specs come from manufacturers like GAF.

One NJ fact that saves homeowners money and worry: a standard residential re-roof of a one or two family home is treated as ordinary maintenance, so no building permit is required. Permits still apply for structural decking work, solar, and condo or multi-family buildings, and no permit never means not to code. We build every roof to code regardless.
