Your Local Roofing Contractor
Hightstown packs a lot of history into a small footprint. Homes sit close together, many of them decades or even more than a century old, and roofing work here calls for a crew that respects the house, the neighbors, and the details that give the borough its character. DaVinci Roofing & Gutters repairs leaks, replaces worn roofs, and restores the exteriors that keep Hightstown homes dry.
We install asphalt shingles, synthetic slate, cedar shake, and standing seam metal, along with siding and trim that suits an older home instead of fighting it. Every project starts with a free inspection and a written estimate. If you’d like to learn how we operate, read more about DaVinci Roofing & Gutters before we ever set a ladder against your house. Our crews also install and repair seamless gutters, which matter a great deal on older homes where roof water has nowhere to go but the foundation.

Older homes reward patience. We take the time to understand how your roof was built and what it needs next, and homeowners across the borough choose us because we provide:

What Our Customers Say
We’ve been in our home for over 20 years and working with David and his team from Davinci Roofing and gutters was the best experience we’ve had with any contractor. His pricing was fair, he was always on time and responded to texts and calls quickly answering our questions. The quality of the installation of our new roof was outstanding. On the day of our install I took off to be home. David was on site all day, and provided us with drone pictures of our home showing each step of the process. This gave us visibility to any issues found on the roof and we could see the progress of the job. David even replaced a small section of siding for us, at no charge, that was damaged. Our satisfaction was most important to him and we very much appreciated his desire to do the job right. At the end of the day his team cleaned up as if they had never been there. I would highly recommend Davinci Roofing.

Local Roofing Experts
Hightstown was incorporated as a borough in 1853 and takes its name from John and Mary Hight, who ran a tavern here in the 1750s. The Camden & Amboy Railroad reached town in 1831, and the Stockton Street Historic District still shows off the Victorian architecture that followed. Today the borough is fully surrounded by East Windsor Township, and it’s widely known as the home of the Peddie School.
That history shows up on the rooftops. Steep pitches, dormers, porches with their own low-slope roofs, and old brick chimneys are all common, and each creates a spot where water can find its way in. On homes like these, a good roof depends on the flashing as much as the shingles, so we rebuild chimney, wall, and valley flashing rather than simply caulking over trouble.
Close quarters matter too. On narrow lots with driveways squeezed between houses, we plan material drop-off and debris removal carefully and protect neighboring property as well as yours. For homes near the historic district, we can suggest materials such as synthetic slate or cedar shake that keep a traditional look.
Older wood trim deserves attention as well. Decorative fascia, soffits, and porch details are often original, and they soften quietly behind clogged gutters. When we replace a roof or gutters, we check this woodwork, repair what can be saved, and replace what can’t with materials that hold paint and match the profile as closely as possible.
Rocky Brook runs through the heart of town and feeds Peddie Lake, and the borough has seen the brook flood in heavy storms. Well-sized gutters and downspouts that move roof water away from foundations are a smart defense, along with a roof that stands up to ice dams in winter and wind-driven rain in summer.
Our Services
Exterior work tailored to older homes, compact lots, and a changing climate.
We track down leaks at chimneys, dormers, and valleys and repair them with proper flashing, not just a bead of sealant.
A new roof on an older home is a chance to fix ventilation and decking. We’ll recommend materials that suit the architecture and your budget.
Front porches, rear additions, and bay windows often have low-slope roofs. We install EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen made for them.
After a storm, we secure your roof quickly, photograph the damage, and help you communicate clearly with your insurance company.
Half-round or K-style seamless gutters and properly placed downspouts protect foundations and walkways on tight lots.
Fiber cement, cedar, or vinyl siding with new trim and fascia can restore an older exterior while keeping its proportions intact.
How We Replace a Roof
Older roofs can hide surprises, so our replacement process leaves room to find and fix them.
Step 1
We strip the roof to bare boards so hidden rot, old patches, and extra layers can be seen and corrected.
Step 2
Damaged boards or sheathing are replaced, and edges get new drip edge before anything else goes down.
Step 3
Ice and water barrier protects eaves, valleys, and chimney areas where older homes leak most.
Step 4
New shingles and hand-fitted flashing are installed around chimneys, dormers, and walls to spec.
Commercial Roofing
Downtown Hightstown’s storefronts, offices, churches, and mixed-use buildings often combine flat commercial roofs with older masonry walls and parapets. DaVinci Roofing & Gutters helps owners and managers keep those roofs watertight with repairs, maintenance, and full replacements.
We install and repair EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen roofing, pay close attention to flashing at parapets and walls, and schedule work to keep disruptions to tenants and customers low. Expect a clean site, straightforward communication, and a crew that treats your building with care. We also offer inspections for owners who want to plan roof budgets a few years ahead instead of reacting to leaks.
Warning Signs
On an older home, small warning signs can point to bigger problems underneath. Watch for these:
If you spot any of these, a free inspection will tell you whether a repair will do or it’s time to plan a replacement.
Preventative Maintenance
An older home can hide roof problems for years. Plaster ceilings and thick insulation absorb small leaks, and by the time a stain appears, framing and decking may already be damaged.
That’s why regular inspections matter so much in Hightstown. We check chimney flashing and crowns, dormer walls, porch tie-ins, and valleys, the areas where older homes most often let water in.
Our inspectors also look at shingles, vents, skylights, gutters, soffits, and fascia, and we check the attic when it’s accessible for signs of moisture, poor ventilation, or daylight showing through.
Ventilation is a frequent issue on houses built long before modern building codes. Attics without enough intake or exhaust trap heat in summer and moisture in winter, which shortens shingle life and can encourage ice dams. We’ll tell you whether adding ridge or soffit vents makes sense before your next roof goes on.
Timing also matters. We recommend a look every few years, after major storms, and before buying an older home in the borough, when an inspection can reveal what a quick walk-through might miss.
You’ll get photos and a clear summary of what we found, with repair and replacement options explained in plain language. We never push work your home doesn’t need.

FAQ
Price follows the problem. A slipped shingle is a small job, while rebuilding chimney flashing on a steep Victorian roof takes more time and setup. We inspect first, free of charge, and put the number in writing before any work starts.
Usually, yes. Architectural shingles, synthetic slate, and cedar shake can all suit older homes. We’ll show you samples and help you choose something that fits the house and your budget.
Not at all. We plan equipment placement and debris removal ahead of time, use protective tarps, and take care to keep neighboring property clean and undamaged.
We inspect the flashing, crown, and mortar joints. Most leaks come from worn step or counter flashing, which we replace. If masonry repair is needed, we’ll let you know.
Yes. After storms or falling limbs, we respond quickly to tarp and secure the roof, then schedule a permanent repair.
