Residential Roofing
Our residential roofing services combine premium materials with expert installation for lasting protection. We specialize in asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, and slate systems tailored to Bergen County's climate. Each project includes comprehensive inspections, proper ventilation, and architectural shingle options that enhance curb appeal while providing 25-50 year durability. Our GAF-certified team ensures proper flashing installation and ridge vent integration for complete weatherproofing.
Commercial Roofing
We deliver durable commercial roofing solutions for flat and low-slope roofs using TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified bitumen systems. Our installations include energy-efficient roof coatings that reduce cooling costs while extending roof lifespan. Specialized services cover warehouse roofing, retail center replacements, and industrial facility maintenance with minimal business disruption. All commercial projects include detailed leak detection and preventive maintenance plans.
Storm Damage Repair
Our rapid response team handles urgent roof repairs for storm-related damage including missing shingles, hail impacts, and wind-blown debris. We conduct thorough inspections to identify hidden water intrusion points and provide insurance claim assistance. Emergency services include temporary tarping, ice dam removal, and structural drying to prevent further property damage while permanent repairs are coordinated.
Gutter Installation
We install seamless aluminum gutters with leaf guards to protect foundations from water damage. Our systems feature proper pitch calculation and downspout placement for efficient drainage. Available in multiple color options to match roof aesthetics, our gutter solutions prevent landscaping erosion and basement flooding through controlled water diversion techniques.

Our complete roof replacement process includes old material removal, decking inspection, and premium underlayment installation. We offer architectural shingles with dimensional profiles and Class 4 impact resistance ratings. The process incorporates proper attic ventilation integration and ice dam prevention measures.

Called yesterday morning, a woman answered the phone. I told her I was having issues with ice damns and that water was starting to come into my home. She asked for my name, address and phone number and told me I would receive a call back. It's now been over 24 hours and nobody has returned my phone call, if you don't do the job I'm asking you to do at least have the decency to call me and tell me you're unable to help me. I would never even think to you use you guys for any service after the treatment I received.

Gene the owner I guess came to my house and refuse to go inside to measure windows, yet send an estimate without measuring anything. When asked, he said if anything is find wrong when installing windows, additional charges will be added. He wants a sign contract with a lot of legal stipulations and 33% down payment without looking at the actual windows, frames and or given an exact quote. Guy is vague not sure how he is still in business.

Report
We were away (in Florida) and our rental property in Mahwah had a leak in the primary bedroom. As soon as we heard from our tenant, we reached out to several roofing companies and heard back from Homestead right away. Within 24 hours they came, assessed the problem and gave us an estimate. Although some subsequent weather delayed the process initially, they were prompt and true to their word on when they could get the work done.
A follow up rainstorm showed that there were some other missed issues (it's an older house), and again within 24 hours they came back and fixed the rest of it. The fact that we were able to manage all of this from afar with only phone calls, and the kindness they showed our tenant, arranging independently to do the work, was a clear testament to their level of professionalism. We would unequivocally hire them again!

I had gutter replaced by Homestead roofing and since it was installed there is a problem when it rains. It is extremely difficult to have them come to see problem and when they come they just deny deny that it is problem. I had no problem before they changed my gutter. Homestead guy kept on making non logical excuses when problem was discussed and when I raised little bit of my voice as he did not want to acknowledge problem, he just left with excuse that I had raised my voice.
This is the company I will never recommend to anybody. Also, their advertisement is false, they do not support their work. Once they get money, it seems that is only their interest. What a day light robbing business! I could be made fool once but larger lesson is learnt.

I have now used Homestead twice in 3 years for roof repairs and I cannot say enough about their quality of work. 3 years ago I had a leak above my sliding glass door. I had two roofing companies come and fix two separate areas of the roof and both did not work and cost an arm and a leg. I called Homestead for an estimate and what they thought it was and I showed them what was repaired already. They immediately knew the issue and had it fixed within 48 hours.
I also just got them to repair some damage from a wind storm that was previously fixed by another company (Homestead was too busy to come asap). The estimate was very reasonable and the work was completed promptly and no more leaking inside my house. I'm not sure about the other negative reviews on google for Homestead but they have gained my trust going forward.

They are prompt and responsive for the initial installation. The problem begins when you need a repair. Phone calls are not returned and verbal promises are not kept. What good is their warrenty if they won't make the repair? Unfortunately I cannot recommend them.

Really impressed by the service I received from Homestead Roofing on fixing my roof. Quick service. Quality materials and they did a good job of cleaning up when they were completed with the job. They got back to me pretty fast about scheduling. Very professional. Fair pricing, fast service, quality materials, good job done by the team. Highly recommend!
