New Brunswick is best known in Central New Jersey as the home of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. And while students and educational personnel certainly are a big part of the town’s makeup, New Brunswick has become a big hub for other industry sectors, especially healthcare.
In part because of the presence of Rutgers, and the fact that it is only roughly an hour southwest of Manhattan, New Brunswick is a very diverse town of almost 57,000 residents, as of the 2010 Census. In fact, New Brunswick has experienced a general increase in residents over the last 30 years, climbing from closer to 40,000 residents to what it is today.
FUN FACT: New Brunswick is known as both “Hub City” and “Healthcare City” because it is home to a high concentration of major medical facilities.
There are a little more than 14,000 households in New Brunswick, and this housing mix is almost as diverse as the residents themselves. Housing here ranges from multi-tenant twin and duplex homes for students, to multi-tenant condos and townhomes to more traditional single-family homes.
No matter the type of home, the majority of homes in New Brunswick have a roof that is made from asphalt shingles, which are designed to be able to withstand the Central New Jersey region’s climate and natural forces. Despite the material being the same on almost all homes, though, New Brunswick homeowners have the ability to customize the look of their roof because of the various design and color options available. The three main choices of roof material and style are:
- Strip shingles (or three-tab shingles) that have a flat appearance
- Dimensional shingles (or architectural shingles) that give the roof a multi-dimensional appearance
- Luxury shingles that look like wood shake or slate
The roofs on New Brunswick homes must be built to withstand the temperature fluctuations that occur often in the region, going from hot to cold and vice versa, sometimes in relatively quick fashion.
A roof is one of the most essential parts of your home, as it keeps you and your family protected from the outside elements. It’s so important to regularly assess the quality and lifespan of your roof, and decide to replace it before it becomes too late.
Proven Contracting Roofing Services In New Brunswick NJ
Proven Contracting has been serving New Brunswick and Central New Jersey since our founding five years ago. We are experienced in roof repairs and replacement, as well as siding and window replacement, and gutter-work.
Contact us today if:
- Your New Brunswick home’s roof has missing or damaged shingles
- You see sand or other granule build-up in your gutters
- Your shingles are curling or peeling up
- Your roof is close to or has exceeded its 20-year lifespan
These are all signs that your roof needs some serious TLC, and may possibly even need to be replaced. Unfortunately, if you don’t address these issues, your roof – and your home – will be susceptible to water damage, which could lead to expensive repairs that extend well past your roof.
People often hold off on replacing their roof for the sake of convenience, or because they want to delay spending the money necessary to do the project. At Proven Roofing, though, we can have your entire roofing replacement project typically completed in one day, and we also pay special attention to cleanup so the process goes as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
