What Defines a Great Roofing Contractor

Not all roofing contractors offer the same level of quality, professionalism, and care. Here’s what makes a contractor exceptional:

  • Licensing and Insurance
    Choose a contractor who is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. At Green Apple Roofing, we carry all necessary NJ licenses and comprehensive insurance.

  • Local Reputation & Reviews
    Look for roofing contractors with positive testimonials, high ratings, and strong word-of-mouth in communities like Howell Township.

  • Guaranteed Work + Product Warranties
    The right contractor stands behind their work. We offer robust labor warranties and products from leading manufacturers.

  • Detailed Estimates & Transparent Pricing
    Beware of vague quotes or unusually low bids. We provide written, itemized proposals so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Skilled Crews & Professional Conduct
    Trust that your roofers will arrive on time, clean up every day, and leave your property undisturbed.

  • Experience with Roof Types
    Residential asphalt shingles differ from commercial flat roofs or metal systems. We've installed and repaired everything from homes to commercial properties.


Why Roofing Matters: Home Investment and Resale Value

Your roof does more than keep you dry—it’s a critical home investment:

  • Home Value Impact
    A brand-new or well-maintained roof increases curb appeal and adds tens of thousands in resale value.

  • Energy Efficiency
    Advanced roofing materials and proper insulation can reduce heating and cooling bills by 10–20%.

  • Structural Protection
    A quality roof protects your home’s structure, attic, insulation, and interior finishes from costly water damage.

  • Safety and Comfort
    A stable roof shields you from wind, rain, ice dams, UV rays, and debris. It also supports attic ventilation and helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.

At Green Apple Roofing, we help you maximize these benefits—whether you're repairing a leak, upgrading your roof, or building anew.


How to Vet Roofing Contractors in Your Area

Not sure which roofing contractor to choose? Here’s a simple vetting process:

  1. Search Keywords

    Ask for license numbers, insurance details, and manufacturer certifications.

  3. Read Reviews
    Look up honest reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook, and Nextdoor. Green Apple Roofing consistently gets 5★ ratings.

  4. Request Quotes
    Get estimates from at least three contractors. Compare materials, warranties, project timelines, and price.

  5. Ask for References
    Reputable contractors will happily share past project examples and references.

  6. Finalize the Contract
    Confirm all details—scope of work, pricing, start date, payment schedule, warranties—are in writing and signed.
