Your Local Roofing Contractor
Few places in central New Jersey have held on to their past like Cranbury. Walk down Main Street and you’ll see homes that have stood for generations, while the township’s outer edges hold farmland, newer neighborhoods, and busy distribution centers. DaVinci Roofing & Gutters brings the right approach to each, whether that means hand-fitting flashing on an old chimney or replacing a large commercial membrane.
For homeowners, we repair leaks, replace worn roofs, and install siding and trim and seamless gutters that protect the house for years. Material choices range from architectural shingles to synthetic slate, cedar shake, standing seam metal, and copper details that suit a traditional facade. Every project begins with a free inspection, a set of photos, and a written estimate, so you can make decisions with the facts in hand rather than a sales pitch.

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
Cranbury is a township in southern Middlesex County, incorporated in 1872, though settlement here dates back much further. It grew as a stagecoach stop between New York and Philadelphia, and George Washington visited in June 1778. The Cranbury Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, includes 177 contributing buildings along Main and Prospect Streets. Brainerd Lake, named for missionary David Brainerd, and Cranbury Brook sit at the heart of the village.
Roofing in the historic village calls for patience. Older homes often have steep pitches, multiple chimneys, dormers, and porches added over the years. Flashing around masonry and at wall intersections is critical, and decking may be original boards that need inspection and repair during a replacement. Synthetic slate, cedar shake, and standing seam metal are popular with owners who want durability without losing a period look.
Beyond Main Street, Cranbury’s mix of farmland and newer neighborhoods brings different challenges. Homes on open lots take the brunt of wind from passing storms, and newer houses with complex rooflines rely on well-installed valleys and step flashing.
Water is a steady concern in a village built around a lake and brook. Mature shade trees fill gutters each fall, and overflowing gutters can soak fascia, trim, and foundations. Half-round or K-style seamless gutters and guards keep water moving where it belongs.
Central New Jersey winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams, and summer thunderstorms can deliver strong winds and hail. Our installations answer both threats: self-adhered leak barrier along the eaves and in valleys, and shingles nailed and sealed to resist uplift. If your home is in the historic district, check with the township about any requirements before exterior changes.
Our Services
Residential and commercial exterior services, done with an eye for detail.
We repair leaks at chimneys, dormers, and valleys with properly fitted flashing that suits older masonry and framing.
We replace roofs on historic and newer homes alike, with materials chosen for your home’s style, exposure, and budget.
Porches, additions, and commercial buildings get EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen systems suited to low slopes.
After high winds or hail, we secure the roof, document the damage carefully, and help you through your insurance claim.
Half-round, K-style, and built-in gutters, plus guards and downspouts, keep water away from foundations and trim.
Cedar, fiber cement, or vinyl siding with detailed trim work protects the walls and respects the home’s character.
How We Replace a Roof
Whether your home is 20 years old or far older, the process starts at the deck.
Step 1
Old roofing comes off down to the boards, with tarps shielding gardens, walkways, and the house next door.
Step 2
Old boards or sheathing are repaired or replaced, and new drip edge seals the perimeter.
Step 3
Ice and water barrier lines eaves, valleys, and chimneys, with synthetic underlayment covering the rest.
Step 4
Shingles, slate-look products, or metal go on to spec, with flashing fitted to every chimney and wall.
Commercial Roofing
Cranbury has a strong warehouse and industrial base along Route 130 and near the New Jersey Turnpike’s Exit 8A, along with offices, shops, and restaurants in and around the village. Large, low-slope roofs on distribution and industrial buildings face constant exposure to sun, wind, and ponding water.
DaVinci Roofing & Gutters repairs, maintains, and replaces EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen roofing systems for commercial properties throughout Cranbury. We provide leak detection, seam and flashing repairs, and preventative maintenance plans, and we coordinate closely with facility managers to schedule work around shipping, receiving, and business hours. Large roofs benefit from regular inspections, since a small open seam can let water spread a long way under the membrane before it shows inside.
Warning Signs
Whether your home is on Main Street or in a newer neighborhood, keep an eye out for these warning signs:
Early attention keeps small repairs small and helps protect original materials on older homes.
Preventative Maintenance
Many roof problems begin long before they become visible from inside. A cracked vent boot, a worn step flashing, or a slipped shingle can let water in slowly for months.
On Cranbury’s historic homes, we give special attention to chimneys, dormers, valleys, and porch tie-ins, the spots where older houses most often leak. We also watch for uneven rooflines that may signal tired decking or rafters.
For newer homes on the township’s outskirts, we look for wind-lifted shingles on exposed slopes, flashing gaps at valleys and walls, and undersized ventilation that can shorten shingle life.
Every inspection includes shingles, vents, skylights, gutters, fascia, and soffits, plus an attic check when accessible for moisture, stains, or poor airflow. Commercial inspections focus on membranes, seams, drains, and rooftop equipment.
We recommend inspections every few years, after major storms, and before buying a home, especially an older one in the village, where an inspection can reveal decades of past repairs. You’ll receive photos and a clear explanation, with honest recommendations and no pressure.
