An itemised written quote, no commissioned salespeople, and no obligation. If you would rather talk it through, call or text — the form is never the only way to reach us.

Water is coming in right now
Emergency repairSame-day tarp in most of our service area. Phone triage first — don't fill in a form.

A storm or tree just hit the roof
Storm damageWe document the damage and meet your adjuster on the roof. Your carrier decides the claim.
Planned
Not sure
The roof is old and I don't know what it needs

All roofing services
Every serviceWe document the damage. Your carrier decides the claim.
Any roofer who promises to 'handle your claim,' get it approved, or cover your deductible is telling you something important about themselves. In New Jersey, negotiating a claim for a fee requires a public adjuster license — we don't hold one, and we don't pretend to.
Storm Damage Repair & NJ Homeowners Insurance Claims
Storm damage roof inspection, documentation, and insurance claim support across New Jersey. We meet your adjuster on-site, document scope honestly, and rebuild to spec.
Insurance Restoration
Documented insurance restoration for New Jersey roofs: dated, slope-identified damage photos, a line-by-line scope of repair, and an adjuster meeting on the roof — from a contractor, not a public adjuster.
Tree Damage Roof Repair
Tree and limb impact roof repair across New Jersey — structural triage, safe battened tarping, timestamped damage documentation, and a full code-compliant rebuild from the deck up.
The signature service
Not sure if your roof needs a repair or a replacement?
That question is worth answering before anyone quotes you a number. The Roof Health Assessment answers it in writing — seven systems graded into a 0–100 score, every defect photographed, the report yours to keep either way.
- 85-100
- Sound
- The roof is doing its job with no active defects and normal wear for its age. Keep up routine maintenance and re-assess once a year to hold the score where it is.
- 70-84
- Minor Wear
- A few targeted issues are showing, but the roof has years of service left in it. Handle the specific repairs the report flags and stay on an annual inspection; replacement is not on the table.
- 50-69
- Active Defects
- There are real problems letting water in now or about to, though most are still repairable. Repair the flagged defects promptly before interior damage follows, and re-score after the work.
- 30-49
- Failing
- Defects are spread across multiple areas and repairs stop paying for themselves. Plan for replacement as the more economical path, and get a free written itemized estimate to compare it against continued patching.
- 0-29
- End of Life
- The roof is at or past the end of its usable service life across most areas. Replace it, with temporary measures such as a battened tarp only to hold things until the new roof goes on.

Call, Text, or Book Online
You reach a real person, not a queue. We schedule the assessment — usually within the week, same-day for an active leak.

The Roof Health Assessment
We walk the roof, fly the slopes we can't walk, and check the attic. Every defect is photographed, located, and measured — not described with adjectives.
- 3
Written Report + Roof Health Score
Seven systems graded out of 100, every finding documented, and a plain repair-or-replace recommendation. The file is yours to keep either way.

An Itemized Quote — Only If You Need Work
If the roof needs work, every line is broken out: labor, materials, dump fees, permits, warranties. If it doesn't, we say so and leave.
- 5
On-Time Install + Warranty Registration
Crew shows up the day we said. Job site magnet-swept every evening. Your manufacturer warranty registered under your name.
We diagnose problems, document damage, and restore homes.
We are not the biggest roofer in the area. We are the one your neighbor keeps recommending.
There are hundreds of roofing contractors in New Jersey, and most of them sell the same thing: a tear-off, a shingle, and a free estimate. We built Zubar around the step everybody skips — finding out what is actually wrong first, writing it down, and proving it with photographs.
That means we spend a lot of time on roofs that turn out to be fine, and we tell those homeowners so. When work is needed, we do it the way the manufacturers specify: full tear-off, never an overlay; ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment; step and counter-flashing instead of a bead of caulk; balanced ridge and soffit ventilation. Every project ends with a magnet-swept yard and a warranty certificate in your name. No commissioned salespeople, no Assignment of Benefits, no pressure.
We Publish Our Rubric
The Roof Health Score is graded across seven weighted systems, and the whole rubric is on this site. You can stand where our inspector stood and check the grade yourself.
The Report Is Yours Either Way
Score, findings, and every photo — handed over whether you hire us or never call back. An inspection you have to buy the roof to see isn't an inspection.
We Say No to Work
Plenty of the roofs we assess don't need anything. We write that down, hand you the file, and leave. A roofer who has never talked someone out of a roof is selling, not diagnosing.
GAF · Owens Corning · CertainTeed
Credentialed system installer for all three majors. We register your system warranty under your name — most contractors don't.
Direct-Employee Crews
Every crew lead works for us, not a 1099 sub. That's why our workmanship warranty is real and your job is supervised by someone accountable.
No AOB. No Deductible Waivers.
We don't ask you to sign your insurance proceeds over. We don't waive your deductible — that's insurance fraud in NJ. You stay in control.
Breadth, not a gallery wall
