Your Local Roofing Contractor
Kingston sits where the old King’s Highway crosses the Millstone River, and its homes reflect centuries of history. Roofing work here calls for a crew that can protect an old house without compromising its character. DaVinci Roofing & Gutters helps Kingston homeowners repair leaks, replace worn roofs, and restore the gutters, siding, and trim that keep water out.
We install architectural shingles, synthetic slate, cedar shake, standing seam metal, and copper, giving you options that suit a historic home. Explore our roofing services and siding options. Every project starts with a free inspection and a written estimate, with honest advice and no pressure. Because Kingston straddles two townships, we’ll also remind you to confirm any permit or historic district steps with the right municipal office before work begins, so the project stays on schedule.

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
Kingston is an unincorporated village that spans two townships and two counties: South Brunswick Township in Middlesex County and Franklin Township in Somerset County. Route 27, the former King’s Highway and later part of the Lincoln Highway, serves as its main street, and Princeton is just a few miles to the southwest.
History is everywhere here. The Delaware and Raritan Canal, completed in 1834, runs along the Millstone River, and the Kingston Locktender’s House and Lock 8 are part of the canal state park. A four-arch stone bridge over the Millstone dates to 1798, Lake Carnegie, dug in 1906, is close by, and Rockingham State Historic Site preserves George Washington’s last wartime headquarters. The Kingston Presbyterian Church was organized in 1723.
Homes in the village span many eras, from early structures to Victorian-era houses and later additions. Older roofs often have steep pitches, dormers, and masonry chimneys, and may hide multiple layers of old material or original board decking. We inspect carefully and replace damaged decking during every tear-off.
Life near the river and canal brings humidity, mature trees, and plenty of shade. Roof slopes that stay damp can develop moss and algae, and leaf-filled gutters can overflow into fascia and foundations. Gutter guards, trimmed branches, and algae-resistant shingles help keep roofs healthy.
Winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams, and summer storms can bring wind and heavy rain. We build each roof with ice and water barrier at eaves and valleys, secure fastening, and gutters sized to handle runoff. If your home is in a historic district, check with your township about any requirements before exterior changes.
Our Services
Exterior services designed for historic homes and wooded, riverside lots.
We repair leaks at chimneys, dormers, and valleys with proper flashing suited to older homes and masonry.
Every replacement starts with a full tear-off and deck inspection, so your new roof is built on solid ground.
Porch roofs, additions, and small commercial buildings get EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen systems.
When a storm or falling branch opens up the roof, we get it covered fast and gather the photos your insurance company will want.
Half-round and K-style seamless gutters with guards keep leaves out and water moving on shaded lots.
Clapboard-style fiber cement, cedar, or vinyl siding, finished with trim that respects the house’s original lines.
How We Replace a Roof
Every step is planned to protect your home’s structure and its character.
Step 1
Old roofing is stripped away by hand around chimneys and dormers to avoid disturbing masonry and trim.
Step 2
Aging board decking is checked closely, with weak sections replaced and metal edging added at the eaves.
Step 3
Self-adhered leak barrier covers the damp-prone eaves and valleys before full underlayment goes down.
Step 4
The new roof is fastened to spec, with step and counter flashing shaped to each chimney and wall.
Commercial Roofing
Small businesses, offices, and churches along Route 27 and throughout the Kingston area depend on roofs that hold up to the weather. DaVinci Roofing & Gutters repairs, maintains, and replaces commercial roofs for these properties.
We install and repair EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen flat roofing, pay close attention to flashing at walls and parapets, and plan work around your hours to minimize disruption. Expect clear communication, a clean site, and a crew that respects older buildings. Periodic inspections help owners budget for roof work instead of scrambling after a leak, and we’re happy to set up a schedule that fits your building.
Warning Signs
On older, shaded homes, roof trouble can build slowly. Watch for:
A free inspection can tell you whether a simple repair will do or a replacement is the better investment.
Preventative Maintenance
Think of a roof inspection as a checkup for a house that has already seen a lot of weather. In a village where some buildings date back well over a century, the question is rarely whether a roof has been worked on before, but how well that earlier work was done.
We start by looking at the whole roof from several angles, noting sagging ridgelines, wavy sections, or patches of mismatched shingles that hint at past repairs. Then we get up close to the chimneys, dormer walls, and valleys, where old flashing tends to give out first.
Riverside humidity gets its own attention. North-facing and heavily shaded slopes are checked for moss, algae streaks, and soft shingles, and we look at how fast those areas dry after rain. Gutters are checked for clogs, sagging hangers, and water marks on the fascia behind them.
When the attic is accessible, we look for stained rafters, damp insulation, rusted nail tips, and daylight around chimneys, all signs that moisture is getting in or getting trapped.
Afterward, you get photos and a straightforward summary with options ranked by urgency, from quick fixes to long-term planning. We suggest a visit every few years and after any storm that brings down limbs along the river.
