Roofing, Siding & Exterior Contractor in New Brunswick, NJ
Serving Downtown, the Rutgers campus area, Lincoln Gardens, Livingston Avenue & Somerset Street corridors
Your Local New Brunswick Contractor
New Brunswick mixes dense downtown blocks, Rutgers University housing, and older two- and three-family homes along Livingston Avenue, Somerset Street, and the Lincoln Gardens section. Much of that housing is 60 to 100 years old with layered roofs, aging flat and low-slope sections, and original windows.
Double D Construction has served New Brunswick since 1995 from our shop at 480 Sidney Road in nearby Piscataway. Crews reach most New Brunswick streets in about 15 minutes, which keeps scheduling tight for rowhouses, rentals, and owner-occupied homes alike.
Common calls here: full roof tear-offs with proper ventilation, flat-roof membranes on additions and porches, insulated siding, replacement windows, and seamless gutters sized for heavy runoff off large roofs. NJ License #13VH00483900. Free estimates: (732) 981-0800.

What New Brunswick Housing Stock Actually Needs
Older wood-frame multi-family homes near downtown often carry two layers of shingles over tired decking, with failing chimney flashing and closed-off soffits. A full tear-off to bare deck with ice and water shield and balanced intake and exhaust venting is the fix that lasts.
Flat and low-slope rear additions, porches, and garages are common leak points. Those sections need membrane roofing tied correctly into the main shingle roof, not another layer of patching.
Drafty single-pane and early replacement windows along the heavier traffic corridors drive heating bills. Andersen and Simonton replacements with solid exterior capping cut drafts and street noise.
New Brunswick Permits, Rentals & Storm Realities
Full roof and siding replacements need permits through the City of New Brunswick. We file applications and coordinate inspections as part of the job.
Rental owners: we write clear scopes with brand names and photo documentation, which simplifies approvals and keeps turnover units on schedule.
Mature trees in the Lincoln Gardens and Livingston Avenue areas drive gutter clogs and algae. We spec guards and algae-resistant shingles where the canopy is heavy.
