What Are the Best Types of Roofing Materials (and their Benefits)?

Replacing a roof can be one of the most important decisions a homeowner will have to make about their home. A roof replacement is certainly not the most glamorous of home improvements. Most people would much rather remodel their kitchen or bathroom than plan a new roofing project. Though it may not be as fun[…]

In early June we had our roof done by Proven Contracting LLC. The house is a Tudor style, built in 1929, and roofing it was going to be a challenge to say the least. It had a very steep pitch, with numerous angles and valleys. We had several companies come and do estimates, but from the moment I met Cory I knew we were going to go with Proven. Not only did he come back with a very agreeable price, but even more importantly, he discussed every aspect of the job, answered all of my questions, explained the entire process, and even helped us in the final selection of shingle style and color to best compliment the style of our home.A job that I had anticipated would take most of a week, was completed in less than two days. Mike, the foreman, and his crew were excellent. They worked tirelessly and with a coordination and precision that was amazing to watch. Mike supplied me with drone photos of every step of the project, and when it was complete, the roof looked beautiful, and fit the style of the house perfectly. Now we have to consider a fresh paint job on the exterior to match this great looking roof!I know this may sound too good to be true, but this is a top-notch company, staffed with top-notch professionals, and impressive in all respects. I would not hesitate to give my highest and most hearty recommendation to Proven Contracting. In my humble opinion, they are the best!

This is the only review you will need to read in making a decision. I am a very thorough and detail oriented person who did all the homework for anyone looking to pick a roofer. I spent several hours meeting with over a dozen roofers and Proven was the best choice from the onset with the quote to project day completion. They use GAF which is backed by a great transferable warranty. Additionally, not only from the onset with Corey providing the quote which was spot on but Mike who headed the project was also great to work with and both were positive experiences. Corey was knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to answer all my questions and responded in a timely fashion. Proven is a straight shooter and were in the right ballpark for pricing which is very important to me when building trust in which contractor to use. Mike was the head guy on site project day and he was accommodating, pleasant, and answered all my questions as well. I would highly recommend Proven as their quote was itemized and everything was explained and made sense. I had over a dozen contractors give a quote and glad I waited to find Proven Contracting. My job had some oddities as the home was built in 50’s. There was an old chimney removal, soffits needed, and gable vents. Proven worked through all of it and handled the process as if it were their own home by making the best decisions to do job right and not cut corners. They used the hot dipped nails I wanted and met all my expectations. Their work was clean, efficient, and completed the job thoroughly in one day. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Trust me.

Bottom line, this is a quality outfit, and if you're considering a new roof, these are your guys! From first point of contact to the last clean-up, our job (just finished today) was absolutely seamless. There is much to admire about this company, but here is what I liked. 1) Responsiveness: they returned my email straight away, and scheduled a home visit for estimate 2) Dan Fleming showed up when he said he would, took his time to explain the options and answer any questions I had. There was never any pressure, or "hard sell," which I hate. 3) The quote is the quote. There are no hidden fees or add-ons (okay, a few sheets of plywood, but whatever). So we knew exactly what to expect. 4) Communication. Dan and his team kept us advised at all stages of the job what to expect, and when to expect it. 5) The foreman and the entire crew were highly respectful and professional throughout. Roofing is messy, but they did not leave any mess behind. Took care to protect plants, etc. 6) The quality of the workmanship speaks for itself. These guys take serious pride in their work, and they did an excellent job. We are very pleased, and I've no doubt you will be too. Thanks Guys!

Challenged from the tornado, structural damage as a tree went thru my roof. I cannot express my gratitude to this team, so professional, hard working, totally supervised 100 percent of the time and fast.I love the finished product and all done in a day.The majority of the roof had to be removed and structural damage on side of house and in attic I would recommend this company to everyone.They are the best out there!!!!!

Consummate professionals. From the initial roofing estimate through to the install was a seamless no issue experience. Corey is right to the point, no haggle here is the price estimate that is right on target. Scheduling was effortless. When the guys showed up to do the install, Mike the project manager kept us up to date on how the install was going through drone pictures. We knew exactly how many pieces of plywood we needed to replace the ones that were an issue for us. If I had any questions, I got immediate responses, even when Mike had to run off to get supplies that were needed. The crew was spot on, no nonsense hard working and super clean and courteous. The overall job was completed ahead of schedule, very neat and with no issues whatsoever.I strongly recommend that you consider Proven Contracting when you are shopping around for an excellent roofing contractor.

Great company to work with. May 2020, started after a storm that damaged our roof. Dan was able to come out and give an estimate right away. Great communication, explains everything, honest and we were given a great price for our new roof. Within a matter of days, they were able to fit us into their schedule. Workers came to do the job, professional, neat, organized, very well run company. These guys know what they are doing and they do it right. Highly recommend.

Everything about Proven.... from the estimate thru the actual workmanship.... to the final cleanup.... was handled professionally and expertly. Corey and his crew did everything right and I would recommend him to be your choice in a roofer. !!!!!!

We had a leak in the ceiling of our family room and I called Proven Contracting for an estimate. Dan who is one of the owners came out. He was very professional and honest with me. I had other companies come and give me an estimate and we decided to go with Proven and we couldn’t have made a better decision. Michael and his crew were great. They provided updates with pictures as the job was being done. They did an amazing job. Our roof looks great! Thank you so much Dan, Michael and the crew!

WOW! From the very moment I met Corey to the completion of my roofing and siding project under the diligent leadership of Mike, I was extremely impressed with Proven Contracting's professionalism and workmanship. I strongly recommend utilizing their high quality and timely services.

March 2020It all started with Dan who is one of the owners of Proven Contracting. He stopped by to give me an estimate and was very informative and knowledgeable. He explained to me exactly step by step the whole process. He answered all of my questions and always replied quickly to all of my emails. On the day of installation of my roof Proven Roofing showed up when they said they would, on time. All of their workers and their jobsite project manager are Very Professional. From the beginning to the clean up they really pay attention to detail. Very Happy customer and will definitely recommend this contractor! Joe ZBrick, New Jersey

During the appraisal process of our home purchase we were told that before we could close on our home, we would have to have the repairs completed on the flashing of the roof. Corey was understanding and treated our situation as his own. From the time he first came to the house for the inspection thru to squeezing us in so that we could meet our closing date, he was professional and provided excellent customer service. He was able to meet and exceed our expectations and I will definitely refer him and Proven Contracting to anyone in need of their type of service.

Corey and Mike were great. Was a small job - replacing Soffit Board and J-Channel - which were damaged when we had a hard blow recently. Job was completed in less than 2 hours and no trace of any waste left. Would definitely call them again for any roofing work and highly recommend them to others. Thanks again, guys.

Proven Contracting did a great job replacing my 20-year-old roof. The owner provided a detailed explanation of all the materials that would be used and described the entire installation process. Everyone from the owner of the company, on-site supervisor, and installers were very professional. They were really careful about protecting our landscaping, pool, driveway, etc. The workers got the job done on-time and without any surprises. I would definitely recommend Proven Contracting without hesitation. By the way, the roof looks great!!!

We recently had our roof replaced by Proven Contracting. From the beginning, Three and a half years ago, we initially called for an estimate. Corey from the very start was extremely helpful. Never once pressured us into going with them. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago my husband and I decided it was time to get the roof done and remove our skylight. Corey and his whole entire team went above and beyond for us. He still had our estimate on file and was able to resubmit and go over thoroughly in detail with the new total since things have changed throughout the years. The day of installation was here, Mike was on site the whole entire time and was super informative and extremely professional. He answered any and all questions I had and in a way I could understand them. My husband wasn’t able to be home but Mike was able to keep him updated every step of the way and send him pictures of the whole process. When wood needed to be replaced he made sure he let us know every time. His whole entire crew work quickly and efficiently. They were able to complete everything in one day. The fine attention to detail really amazed me! The smallest thing of covering our plants in the front yard with buckets so they wouldn’t get destroyed. They stopped only one time for their lunch break, they worked nonstop. When all was finished the crew promptly cleaned up, they left my property the way it was prior to coming. There was no debris anywhere. You could not tell that anyone was even there! Corey came by at the end to check in. This was one of the best experiences we have had. The whole time my mind was at ease knowing that I was in good hands with them. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing any of their services.

Fabulous customer service. Seamless from first meeting with Corey to completion of roof install. Michael was the project manager on site and could not have been more informative and professional. I would highly recommend Proven Contracting to anyone considering doing business with them. Oh, I should add my roof is beautiful!

From the initial sit-down for our roofing estimate to the to the wave goodbye after completion it was a pleasure to work with Proven Contracting.They keep us abreast of all scheduling times and during the installation a Project Manager was onsite watching over job details and progress. I would not hesitate to have them onboard for my next project.

Professional experience from start to finish. Beginning with the initial meeting with Corey through the installation, the process was a good one. A picture is worth a thousand words. The “New Roof” has already had many compliments from neighbors. Corey’s quote was inclusive and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Michael the onsite manager was available to answer any and all questions during installation. The crew was on time, quick and gave their attention to detail. The crew left the property free of residual debris. Communication was timely and direct. One day full removal down to the deck and installation of new roof. A good choice.

I wish dealing with all contractors could be this simple and easy. After getting 6 estimates my wife and I both agreed that Dan was by far the most professional and trusted contractor to replace our roof and leaking skylight. He explained the whole process including the materials used, our options, the warranty and even gave us a folder with the company's certifications and proof of insurance. The price was competitive, the contract was crystal clear, all of our questions were answered and the job was done on time with no surprises. Michael and the crew who did the work were great and we were kept updated the whole day about the progress with text messages and pictures. They arrived at 7:40 am and finished up around 7pm with a clean yard and no sign of construction. The roof looks fantastic and we love our new solar powered skylight and blind. I highly recommend Proven and will definitely call them again if we need siding, windows or gutters replaced.

Outstanding! I am so glad that I chose Proven for my roofing needs. Their professionalism started the moment that I met Co-Owner Corey for an estimate. His detailed quote, his promptness and thoroughness explained everything that would be involved. On the day of the roof installation, I continued to be impressed with Michael and his crew. Their workmanship, effort and final product looks better than I had ever anticipated. There were no hidden costs. I am looking forward to doing business with them again when I get windows and siding done. Great job!

WHAT!!!! A contractor that shows up on time, calls you back, gives a fair price, a supervisor that stays on sight, communicates with you AND a full crew that does the job correctly with NO cutting corners!!!!! NOOOOO??? YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Its True! It was refreshing to deal with these guys. I am a hard core do it yourselfer, but sometimes you need to call in a Pro. Well, that is usually easier said then done! I was Frustrated with the usual lack of talent, price gouging, shoddy work, and excuses, of so many other contractors, its no wonder my palms would sweat and I would feel sick when calling the usual "wanna be" s in for a quote. WELL do yourself a favor and chillax. CALL THESE GUYS! Proven Contracting went well above and beyond my greatest expectations. These guys Ripped out all the mistakes of our recently, poorly done roof. Proven, replaced 13 sheets of ply-wood, installed Ice & water shield, drip-edge, re-flashed where the roof meets the siding, CORRECTLY re-flashed the chimney, (beautifully, I might add) corrected all the mistakes by last roofer on a difficult 3 pitch roof, STOPPED ALL THE LEAKS, LOOKS awesome and GUARANTEED it. Honestly, I thought you only could get this kind of work preformed on a TV show! This is only the 2nd review I ever wrote, but I felt I had to, these guys deserve it. Call Proven, so glad I did.

Perfect! Corey and his crew removed my existing roof and installed a whole new roof & 2 new sky lights. I couldn’t be happier! The process was smooth and painless. The roof looks perfect and he delivered exactly what he promised... top quality Timberline material, a professional crew, And a precise install. I highly recommend Proven Contracting!

Awesome job. Proven Contracting was very easy and pleasant to work with. Very knowledgeable! Corey was great at explaining the details of the job and going over the estimate. He was great with planning the work and flexible. On the day of the installation, Michael was the first person I saw, was around to address any of my concerns, and was the last person to leave to ensure I was satisfied. I wish them continued good success because I was very happy with their work.

Having a roof installed by Proven Contracting was a remarkable experience! Corey presented his GAF Roofing Proposal in our home, explaining each phase of the installation process. He was knowledgeable and professional and inspired confidence in our choice of Proven. Michael Colangelo, the Project Director was on site all day to answer any questions as he kept us informed of each stage of the installation. From presentation to preparation, installation and clean-up, this crew was courteous, efficient and professional! I highly recommend Corey Zeller and Proven Contracting!

I had Dan stop by my mother inlaw's house to evaluate an existing roof that was leaking water. He took me up on the roof and pointed out areas where there was poor workmanship and recommended a new roof. The skylights were in the area of the leak so decided to replace them also. Dan's crew arrived on time with their supervisor Mike. Glad I decided to replace the roof. Once they removed the old roofs there was signs of rotten wood that you couldn't even see. The group of guys Dan has working for him are great. Mike explained every step that needed to be done and kept the guys moving all day. They were able to complete to whole job in one day and it looks great. Guys did a great job cleaning up, if I didn't know work was done I never would be tell from looking around the house. Every bit of the old roof and nails were cleaned up. Dan stopped by near the end of the day just check in and make sure I was happy. It was one of the best experiences I have had with hiring someone to do work. I would use them again and gladly recommend them. Already plan on using them for gutter guards in the near future.

Corey was not my lowest estimate but he was not significantly higher than the others. We still went with him because we had seen his work and he came highly recommended from a good friend. My wife and I could not have been happier with the results and the professionalism from Mike while the job was being done.

Proven Contracting just installed our new roof. Corey and his team are professional, kind, honest, and so easy to work with. Corey would answer all of my questions and concerns without delay. The job was completed on time and they left our home clean as if they were never even there. Our new roof looks amazing! We are so happy with it and we highly recommend them to all of our neighbors and friends! Thank you!

Proven Contracting did an EXCELLENT job during my recent roofing installation. Had to remove 2 layers of shingles, replace wood & install new roof. Got there at 8:00 am and were done by 2:00. Used all top quality materials and offered a great warranty. Price was VERY competitive. Workmanship was top notch. Have already recommended this company to others.

Rochelle Trembly

18:16 08 Apr 19

Cory and Michael and their crew was awesome! The written estimate gave a lot of detail and ensured us that it would be done correctly. They pushed our work up a few days because of the weather and the fact that we had major damage to the roof. They came on Saturday at 8:00am and were done by 3:00pm. They covered the property with a tarp to catch the debris and at the end of the day, they swept it with a large magnet. I highly recommend Proven Contracting for their honesty and excellent work!

Dan, Mike and their crew did an awesome job on our roof from start to finish. Dan's estimate explained in detail what was going to be done and samples of materials to be used. There were no surprises and everything that was promised was done. Their crew worked non stop and my yard was cleaned up meticulously. My husband and I would highly recommend Proven Contracting.

Having had alot of work done on our home over the years including a complete remodel I can say that Proven Contracting is in the upper 1% of the many companies and contractors I have worked with, if not the finest. Totally professional and first class in every way....if 10 stars was an option here they would get it from me. From my first conversation with Dan I knew I had found a contractor committed to high quality work in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Dan gave me great advice as to the type of roof I needed and, since I was in a bit of a time crunch, he completed it prior to the time he promised. He returned my calls promptly and followed through precisely as he said he would do. I was not able to be there the day of the job and Michael kept me up to date with progress pictures, calls, etc. The roof is absolutely gorgeous in every way and the clean-up...immaculate. Suffice it to say that I could not be more pleased with every aspect of this job and I give Proven Contracting my highest recommendation

Corey and his team replaced the roof on my house in Toms River and did an awsome job. Great communication throughout the process and they came in under budget from the original quote. They will definitely be doing more work for me. You can trust this company.

The team at Proven Contracting had a major undertaking on their hands in replacing our roof. There was a lot of damage that needed to be addressed, and it was very stressful as a homeowner. Corey came out several times to review the project and discuss what our needs were. He was very clear in what the work would entail, and what he was looking out for in terms of "surprises". We felt totally comfortable with Corey and his team thanks to such attention to detail in every meeting. When a major mishap arose, not a minute was lost as the crew addressed the issue and kept everything moving quickly. Our entire roof was replaced, plus major repairs done to our garage, in a day and a half! We could not be more pleased with the workmanship and with the communication of everyone on the team at Proven. We would highly recommend them to anyone undertaking major home renovations.

18:24 08 Feb 19

I would highly recommend Proven Contracting, they are committed to customer care and outstanding workmanship! Cory was very professional and had expert knowledge of his product. Although we had estimates that were cheaper, we were convinced the extra money would be worth it and we were not wrong. Mike and his crew showed up on time and worked efficiently, cleaning up any debris along the way. Outstanding job!

Company was great to work with, everyone was helpful and explained everything being worked on. Price was comparable to other companies, but we went with them because the material was better and had a longer guarantee. Plus the owner had a great presentation on exactly what we were getting with out spending hours at our house. LOL Overall I would recommend this company highly, I will be using them again for my parents house.
