Your Local Metuchen Contractor
Metuchen is a compact borough of older colonials, capes, and Victorian-era homes with real architectural detail: cedar and slate accents, deep eaves, covered porches, and detached garages. Those details reward careful flashing, trim, and gutter work rather than quick cover-ups.
Double D Construction has worked Metuchen since 1995, operating from 480 Sidney Road in nearby Piscataway. Most Metuchen streets are a 10 to 15 minute drive, so inspections and storm response stay fast.
Homeowners here typically call for GAF architectural roof replacements, fiber cement or insulated vinyl siding that respects the original look, Andersen and Simonton windows, and half-round or 6-inch gutters that suit older rooflines. NJ License #13VH00483900. Free estimates: (732) 981-0800.

What Metuchen Homes Actually Need
Older roofs often hide layered shingles over plank decking with failed flashing at chimneys, dormers, and porch ties. A full tear-off with ice and water shield and proper ventilation protects the intricate rooflines common here.
Original wood siding and trim on pre-war homes needs either careful restoration or replacement with fiber cement and PVC trim that holds paint lines and detail without rotting.
Mature street trees drop heavy leaves each fall. Correctly pitched seamless gutters with guards keep water off foundations and porches.
Metuchen Permits & Neighborhood Realities
Exterior replacements generally need permits through the Borough of Metuchen. We file and coordinate inspections so the job is not held up.
On blocks with historic character, bring any design guidelines to the estimate and we will supply product samples and colors for review before ordering.
Leaf load is heavy across much of the borough. Guards plus correctly sized downspouts discharging away from foundations prevent most basement moisture calls we see.
