Your Local Roofing Contractor
North of downtown Princeton, the pace slows and the lots get greener. Homes in Princeton North tend to sit back from the road under established trees, and many have been lived in and updated by several owners over the years. That mix of ages and past renovations means no two roofs are quite the same, and DaVinci Roofing & Gutters treats each one that way. A roof that was partly replaced during a remodel, for example, may have two different materials, two different ages, and a seam between them that needs watching.
We start with a free inspection, then lay out your options in plain language, whether that’s a targeted repair, new gutters, or a full replacement in asphalt shingles, synthetic slate, cedar, or standing seam metal. Take a look at our gutter services and siding options if the outside of your home needs more than a roof. Every recommendation comes with photos and a written estimate, so you can compare options on your own time and make the decision that fits your plans and budget.

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
Princeton North is a name for the residential area in the northern part of Princeton, within what used to be Princeton Township. The Census Bureau counted it as its own census-designated place for several decades before dropping the designation, and since the 2013 consolidation it has simply been part of Princeton. Locally, the name still describes a mostly residential stretch of single-family homes on wooded streets.
The houses here cover a range of styles, from ranches and Cape Cods to two-story colonial designs, often with additions, porches, and skylights added along the way. Each change to a roofline creates a new joint where water can find its way in. Low-slope sections over additions and porches deserve a close look, since they drain slowly and often rely on flashing that has been patched more than once. Where an addition’s roof ties into an original wall, step flashing and counterflashing need to be done right, or water will follow the siding down inside.
Trees define much of this part of town. Wooded preserves such as Herrontown Woods and Autumn Hill sit on the north side of Princeton, and plenty of backyards have their own tall canopy. That shade is pleasant in July but keeps roofs damp, encourages moss, and fills gutters quickly each fall. Branches that hang over a roof also scrape shingles in the wind and can come down hard in a summer storm.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles work on any weak point, lifting shingles and widening gaps around chimneys and vents. On homes with limited attic ventilation, snow can melt and refreeze at the eaves and form ice dams. Balanced ventilation, ice and water protection along the edges, and well-maintained gutters go a long way toward preventing those problems. Gutter guards are especially useful here, since clean gutters let meltwater drain instead of backing up under the shingles.
Our Services
Practical solutions for homes that have grown and changed over the decades.
Leak repair at additions, skylights, chimneys, and valleys, plus shingle and flashing fixes that keep a sound roof going longer.
Full replacements in architectural shingles, synthetic slate, cedar shake, or standing seam metal, with ventilation corrected along the way.
EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen for porch roofs, rear additions, and other low-slope sections that drain slowly.
When a limb falls or wind strips shingles, we tarp and secure the roof, document everything, and help with your claim.
Seamless gutters, gutter guards, and downspouts sized for tree-covered lots, so leaves don’t turn into overflow and ice.
Vinyl, fiber cement, and cedar siding with new trim and fascia to seal out moisture on shaded walls.
How We Replace a Roof
Our replacement process in Princeton North is built around protecting both the house and the yard.
Step 1
We strip old layers to the deck and shield gardens, patios, and lawn from debris.
Step 2
Rotted sheathing is swapped out and eaves and valleys receive ice and water barrier.
Step 3
Full underlayment coverage adds backup protection beneath the finished roof.
Step 4
Shingles, flashing, and vents go on to manufacturer specifications, followed by a magnetic nail sweep.
Commercial Roofing
Although Princeton North is mainly residential, nearby shopping centers, offices, places of worship, and multi-family buildings on Princeton’s north side all depend on low-slope roofs that need regular care. DaVinci Roofing & Gutters provides commercial roof repair, replacement, and maintenance throughout the Princeton area.
We install and service EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen systems, track down leaks, repair seams and flashing, and handle drains and roof edges. Work is scheduled to keep your building open and your occupants comfortable, and we keep owners and managers informed from start to finish. Preventive maintenance plans help catch clogged drains, ponding water, and aging seams before they become costly interior repairs.
Warning Signs
Shaded roofs and remodeled rooflines can hide problems for a long time. Look for these signs:
If a large tree overhangs your home, it’s worth having the roof checked after every major storm.
Preventative Maintenance
A roof can look fine from the driveway and still be letting in water. Worn flashing, soft decking, and gaps around skylights often show up only when someone gets up close.
That’s particularly true on homes that have been expanded over the years. Where an addition meets the original roof, materials and slopes change, and those transitions are among the most common leak points we find in this part of Princeton.
Our inspections cover shingles, flashing, chimneys, skylights, vents, gutters, soffits, and fascia, and we check the attic when there are signs of moisture or poor ventilation. We photograph what we see and explain it in everyday terms.
Then we give you a straight recommendation. Sometimes that’s a simple repair or a gutter cleaning and guard installation. Sometimes it’s a plan for replacement over the next few years. Either way, you decide without pressure.
Timing helps too. A look at the roof in late fall, after the leaves are down, shows how well your gutters and valleys handled the season, and a spring check reveals what winter ice and wind left behind. After any storm that brings down branches, it’s worth a closer look even if nothing seems wrong from the ground, because small punctures and cracked shingles are easy to miss.

FAQ
Cost depends on what’s damaged, the roofing material, and how accessible the area is. A flashing fix at a skylight is very different from a large section of storm damage. We inspect for free and give you a clear estimate first.
Yes. We look at how each section drains and ties in, correct flashing at the transitions, and can use low-slope materials like EPDM or TPO where a shingle roof isn’t suited to the pitch.
Overhanging trees keep roofs damp, fill gutters, and can drop limbs in storms. We recommend regular inspections, trimming back branches that touch the roof, and gutter guards to reduce clogging.
Yes. We respond quickly to secure the roof and limit interior damage, then plan permanent repairs.
Yes. We document storm damage, can meet with your adjuster, and complete quality repairs once the claim is settled.
