Roofing and Siding Contractor in Manville, NJ

Roofs, siding and storm repairs for Manville's post-war homes

Your Local Manville Contractor

Manville grew up around the Johns-Manville plant, and many of its homes are modest capes and ranches built in the mid-twentieth century. The borough sits where the Millstone River meets the Raritan, and it has seen serious flooding, including Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and Hurricane Ida in 2021.

Double D Construction helps Manville homeowners replace roofs and siding, repair storm damage and keep water away from their homes.

Manville Homes

Some older Manville homes still have asbestos-cement siding shingles or other materials from that era. These should never be sanded, broken or power-washed. Where they are present, we discuss options with you, including installing new siding over them where appropriate or arranging proper removal.

Many capes have finished upstairs rooms and dormers. We replace flashing at dormers, add ventilation where possible and install ice and water shield at the eaves to reduce ice dams.

Post-War Capes and Ranches

Many Manville homes were built for workers at the Johns-Manville plant and share similar layouts. Over the years, many have been expanded with dormers, rear additions and enclosed porches. Each addition creates roof-to-wall transitions that need proper flashing. We rebuild these transitions on every roof replacement.

We also check gutter and downspout placement on every job so water drains away from the house and does not add to basement moisture.

Important Notes for Manville Homeowners

If you think your siding may contain asbestos, do not disturb it. We will look at it during the estimate and explain the safe options.

We pull permits through the borough where required and coordinate inspections.
