"Lev, his crew, and Natia in the office are all superb. We contacted Lev for a quote to replace the roof on our 135 year old three story Victorian home. He responded promptly, came over to access the job, and knew immediately what needed to be done. He left us with confidence in his knowledge of what needed to be done for a quality and thorough job. Shortly afterwards we received a price with all details of what was included in the job. It was a very fair price given the scope of the work and we contracted with him. We also contracted with him to replace all the gutters and leaders on the house. Lev and his crew began work on the promised date. They tore off the two existing layers of asphalt shingles, the original cedar shake shingles under the asphalt, and removed the original Yankee gutters (wooden). They then sheathed, papered, and shingled the roof, including a ridge vent. This old house has many gables, a mansard area, and a main hip area, so it’s a complicated roof. There is also an existing skylight and they handled all of these features with ease and expertise. Lev was on site with his crew, always working alongside them or checking on the work being done. He is not just a contractor, he’s a skilled and talented man who pays great attention to all detail. There was a ten foot piece of aluminum soffit missing at one eave and he installed new soffit there. He also took care of any areas of the existing aluminum siding that needed attention. Not only was he interested in giving us a dry home, he also wanted it to look good (hence the extra attention to the siding). He takes great pride in his work and that’s a huge plus for the homeowner, needless to say. He goes above and beyond. He (and Natia in the office) keep you informed throughout the entire process and promptly respond to any questions or requests. His crew is respectful and skilled, and they never forget that the work site isn’t just a job site, rather it’s a home/where people live. When the gutter man was here, Lev was back on site making sure everything was up to snuff and that we were pleased. He and his crew did a top-notch job cleaning up the yard and driveway, including having a crew sweep and vacuum the attic space. I should mention that we are two-zoned HVAC and he made sure the furnace/air handler in the attic –and the natural gas and refrigerant lines- were covered and protected before work began. We couldn’t be happier with Lev. He’s honest, hardworking, intelligent, and dedicated to the customer’s satisfaction. We feel like we hit the jackpot in finding him to do this job. There aren’t many out there like him. We give him the highest recommendation. Just the very best!"

"My issue was water running down between the exterior and interior wall.  The contractor diagnosed the cause as frost getting in under old roof shingles that needed to be replaced.  Old roof was less than 20 years old and was only one layer deep.  The other part of the issue was poor insulation in the attic.  The recommended solution was to replace the roof on house and install an air vent and blow insulation into the attic.  Replace the roof on the garage was incidental since they were going to be there anyway but was not considered a part of our problem or our solution for the water.    
The steps were:
  •  - Remove the entire shingled roof and a portion of the plywood that got wet.
  •  - Blow insulation into the attic through the opening created by removing the plywood to avoid having to go through the house.
  •  - Install new state of the art roof with barrier and shingles.
  •  - Replace garage roof
  •  - Replace trim around house and garage.
faction to heart. Workers showed up on time every day.
All the work went as planned for the insulation, house roof, vent and trim.
The garage roof presented more challenges.  The trim was put on in two pieces, because "they did not have the right trim cutter to use on piece".  Nails were placed all over the trim and looked very unprofessional.  House walk around also showed issues with the finishing touches on the main roof but mostly the garage.  That was a bit frustrating since we only did the garage because they were there anyway, arrugghh.
One call to the Company and our Salesman was back at the house, reviewed our photos and did a walk around as well.  Within one week all the issues were resolved.  I was pleasantly surprised that the issues were addressed so quickly and completely.  Good company that clearly takes customer satisfaction to heart.  I believe that any contractor will have issues with customer expectation compared to work performed.  The real test of a quality contractor is how they mitigate those issues.  Acorn did a very good job in this regard.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for work on their roof or insulation.

"Good job. Alexander came when he promised, sized up the work, recommended I keep old gutter but install new hangers. Fair price for two guys on ladders for an hour or so."

"The quality workmanship is above standards. This project required a total removal including Cedar Shakes, replace with half inch plywood, weatherproofing trimming, shingles. After all completed American Quality Home was not satisfied. I have the old ceramic siding they replaced all the broken pieces and fitted aluminum trim on all the areas where the roof meets the ceramic siding. Outstanding job A+ + Oh I forgot to mention you're going to love their 50-year warranty. My Sales contact was Bill Percy, his roofing and product knowledge is superb.. Overall 6â 's"

"We recently hired American Quality Home Improvement to re-side our house which was built in 1985 and had its original vertical cedar wood siding. There were several features that separated American Quality Home Improvements from the other contractors that we received bids from that included a lifetime guarantee on workmanship, special capping features on the windows and doors, attention to detail and the accommodation of some special requests. Christian stayed close to us during the project and was quick to answer any concerns that we had. We are extremely happy with the result and have gotten several complements from our neighbors."

"We were recommended to go with Home Genius by our neighbor who was very happy with his roof installation from a few years back. What drew me to your company was the hospitality of the sales rep and his wonderful presentation. I believe we made the right decision, as our roof, unlike before, is a complete Owen's Corning system covered by a tremendous warranty. we no longer have to worry about leaks or issues because of our new beautiful roof and gutters. They even remove and reinstall your solar panels for you. Great company all around. friendly and helpful staff"

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Berkeley Heights, NJ

Cedar shakes and wood shingles might seem similar, but they have some important differences. Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a unique, textured appearance that adds rustic charm to your roof. They're great for homeowners who want a distinctive look. Wood shingles, conversely, are machine-made, providing a smooth, uniform appearance for a more modern look. Shakes tend to be more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved but offer exceptional beauty and resilience.

A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last up to 60 years. However, factors like severe weather and improper ventilation can reduce its lifespan. You should consider replacing your roof if you notice persistent leaks, visible water damage, curling or splitting shakes, moss growth, rot, or missing shakes. Regular inspections can help you determine when it's time for a replacement.

When hiring a roofing contractor for your cedar shake roof, asking the right questions is important. Make sure they are fully certified and have extensive experience with cedar installations. Verify that their team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for details about the materials they use, such as the type of underlayment and fasteners, and how they ensure proper ventilation. Getting multiple written estimates can help you compare options and choose a contractor who offers quality workmanship at a fair price.
