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
Allentown is a borough in western Monmouth County, right along the Mercer County line. It was incorporated in 1889 from part of Upper Freehold Township, and it covers well under a square mile. The Allentown Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, includes more than 200 contributing buildings, among them the Allentown Mill on South Main Street, built in 1855 on the site of Nathan Allen’s 1706 mill, and a Presbyterian church dating to 1837.
That concentration of older buildings shapes roofing work here. Many homes have steep pitches, dormers, masonry chimneys, and porches with low-slope roofs, each creating flashing details that must be done right. Older homes may also have original board decking and multiple layers of roofing hidden beneath the current shingles.
For homeowners who want to preserve a traditional look, synthetic slate, cedar shake, and standing seam metal can offer long service life with period-appropriate style. Half-round gutters and copper details can complete the look. If your home is in the historic district, check with the borough about any requirements before making exterior changes.
Allentown’s weather is typical of central New Jersey: winter freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and heavy snow, followed by summer thunderstorms with strong winds and occasional hail. Mature trees add shade and charm but also drop leaves and branches. We protect every roof with ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys, secure fastening, and gutters sized to handle heavy runoff.
Because houses in the borough sit close to sidewalks and neighbors, we plan each job with the street in mind. Materials are staged neatly, debris goes straight into protected containers, and walkways are cleared at the end of each day, so the historic streetscape stays as tidy as we found it.
Our Services
Exterior services designed for historic homes and small-town properties.
We repair leaks around chimneys, dormers, and porches using proper flashing methods suited to older construction.
Every replacement starts with a tear-off and deck inspection, so your new roof is built on a sound foundation.
Porch roofs and rear additions with low slopes get EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen systems designed for them.
After a storm, we secure your roof quickly, document the damage, and help you through the insurance process.
Half-round and K-style seamless gutters, downspouts, and guards protect your home while suiting its architecture.
Cedar, fiber cement, or vinyl siding with detailed trim work can restore an older exterior while protecting it.
How We Replace a Roof
Our process leaves room to find and fix hidden problems before the new roof goes on.
Step 1
Old layers come off carefully, with debris loaded straight into protected containers to keep sidewalks clean.
Step 2
Decking is inspected board by board, repaired where needed, and finished with new drip edge.
Step 3
Leak barrier goes along eaves and around chimneys, with breathable underlayment across the remaining deck.
Step 4
Shingles, slate-look products, or metal are installed to spec, with flashing shaped to each detail.
Commercial Roofing
Allentown’s Main Street is lined with antique shops, restaurants, and other small businesses, many in older buildings with flat or low-slope roofs. DaVinci Roofing & Gutters helps owners keep these roofs watertight with repairs, maintenance, and replacement.
We install and repair EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen roofing, pay careful attention to flashing at parapets and walls, and schedule work to minimize disruption to customers. Expect clear communication, a clean job site, and a crew that respects historic buildings. Owners who want to plan ahead can schedule periodic inspections to budget for work before a leak forces a rush job.
Warning Signs
On historic homes, early warning signs are easy to miss. Watch for:
A free inspection will tell you whether a repair is enough or a replacement is the smarter plan.
Preventative Maintenance
A roof inspection on an older Allentown home is part detective work. Roofs here may have been patched, re-covered, and modified over many decades, and each round of work leaves clues about what’s underneath.
We start from the outside, reading the roof surface for curling, granule loss, and uneven lines that suggest a second layer or tired decking. Then we look at the details: chimney flashing and crowns, the walls of dormers, valleys, and the spots where porch roofs meet the main house.
Inside, when the attic is accessible, we look for old water stains, damp insulation, and signs that heat and moisture are trapped. Many older attics were never vented for modern roofing, and adding balanced ventilation can protect both the new roof and the structure beneath it.
Gutters and woodwork round out the visit. Clogged or undersized gutters on a mature, tree-lined street can soak fascia and soffits, and we’ll point out any trim that needs repair before it spreads.
Inspections make sense every few years, after major storms, and before you buy a historic home. You’ll get photos and a clear explanation, along with honest repair and replacement options.
