Lower than most — more than half the roofers in New Jersey have no one or two-star ratings at all. A higher share is a reason to read the critical reviews below, not a verdict.

Derek, the owner, came out for the roof estimate and was very thorough and detailed. He took several photos of the roof damage so we could clearly see the problem areas. He explained the roofing work in simple terms, answered every question, and also showed sample pictures of different shingle colors. He even pointed out nearby roofs in Elizabeth with those color options so we could get a better idea of how they would look in person. The roofing crew was careful, skilled, and worked hard from start to finish. They did a great job with the roof and gutter replacement, stayed organized, and made sure all nails and roofing debris were cleaned up well at the end. The whole process was smooth, professional, and easy to manage. They helped us feel confident about the materials, the workmanship, and the final result. I would gladly recommend them to anyone in Elizabeth who needs roofing or gutters replaced.

Roger came out fast after a heavy rain caused our ceiling to cave in. He personally got on the wet roof and put on a temporary patch to stop the leaks until the full roof replacement could be done. We hired the crew to tear off the old …

Marvin and his crew did an excellent job replacing our old roof power vent. A few issues came up during the roofing work, including a defective vent, but they handled it right away and kept the project moving without any extra charge. Marvin also made several trips to find the exact matching spray paint so the new vent would blend in with our shingles and the roof would look clean and finished. They took their time, paid attention to the details, and made sure everything was installed properly. The workmanship was solid, the price was fair, and the whole team had a great attitude from start to finish. It is not always easy to find a roofing crew that is this dependable, careful, and honest. I highly recommend Marvin and his crew for any roof repair or ventilation work.

After a recent storm damaged the roof on our home, we hired Cabrera & Sons Roofing for a full roof replacement. Once the project got underway, Roger did an excellent job coordinating everything and keeping the process on track. Derek, the planning manager, stayed in close contact with us and worked hard to oversee the job from start to finish. Marvin and the roofing crew were very impressive. They worked hard, moved quickly, and handled the installation with real care and professionalism. They paid close attention to protecting our property and did a thorough cleanup each day, including picking up tools, debris, nails, and sweeping the patio area. The new roof looks great, and the only remaining step is getting the gutters reinstalled. Overall, it was a smooth and well-managed roofing experience for our home in Elizabeth.

I would strongly recommend this roofing team to anyone needing a new roof, siding, or gutter work. We worked directly with Roger, who made the whole process simple and easy, including handling the insurance details and explaining each step clearly. On installation day, the crew showed up on time in the morning, worked efficiently, and finished the roofing job by the end of the day. They were polite, skilled, and very professional throughout the project. After the work was completed, they did a thorough cleanup and left us with a great-looking roof that really improved the home. My husband and I were very happy with the results, the communication, and the overall workmanship, and we would gladly recommend this roofer to others.

We had an excellent experience with Cabrera & Sons Roofing, who gave our home a major exterior upgrade with a new roof, siding, trim, windows, and gutters. The finished work really changed the whole look of the house, and we have gotten many compliments from neighbors in Elizabeth. The estimate was a little higher than some other bids, but it matched the quality level we were looking for. Roger was easy to work with, open to discussing options, and helped make the full roofing and exterior project fit our budget when we decided to do everything together. In the end, we chose them because we wanted strong workmanship, reliable service, and a smooth process from start to finish, even if it meant paying a little more. It was absolutely worth it. Marvin and his crew did outstanding work, and we really appreciated how carefully they cleaned up the yard and kept the jobsite neat at the end of each day. That kind of care matters a lot during a big roofing and exterior job. Our neighbors also noticed how polite and respectful the crew was. They took real care to reduce disruption and make sure nearby homes were not affected by the work. Derek, who managed the project, was very helpful and made sure the work stayed on track and that we got the results we wanted. We had a few changes along the way, including some window adjustments, and everything was handled professionally and without stress. The gutter and window portions of the job were also completed with the same attention to detail as the roofing work, and the whole project moved forward according to plan. We did receive cheaper estimates from other contractors, but we are very happy with our decision. Paying a bit extra for quality roofing, a clean worksite, clear communication, and a great final result was the right choice for us.

I’m very happy with our new seamless gutter and roofing drainage system. Roger, the sales rep, was easy to work with from the start. He suggested we compare a few roofing and gutter quotes and read online reviews so we could make the best choice. He took time to measure everything carefully, listen to what we needed, and put together the right estimate without any pressure. He also explained the differences between several gutter protection options, how they work with the roofline, and what made this system a better fit for our home. After that, Marvin called to schedule the installation and made the whole process simple and smooth. He was friendly, helpful, and got our install set up quickly. He also followed up to confirm the appointment and let us know what to expect on installation day, which made everything feel organized and professional. On the day of the job, Derek and Roger arrived on time and were excellent to work with. Before starting, Derek walked the property with me and asked if I had any questions about the gutters, downspouts, drainage, and the way water was coming off the side of the house. I mentioned a few concerns, and he took the time to inspect those areas and explain how they would correct them during the installation. That gave me a lot of confidence in the crew. They got right to work removing the old gutter system and checking the fascia and roof edge areas as they went. During the job, they found some damaged wood on a corner section of the fascia board and let me know right away. They replaced the part that needed repair before finishing the gutter install, which showed real care and attention to detail. It was clear they wanted the whole roofing and gutter system done the right way, not just the visible parts. The installation looked clean and professionally done, and they still worked efficiently. When the job was finished, they cleaned up the area thoroughly and hauled away the old materials. You would never know a major gutter and ex

i had a great experience with cabrera & sons roofing compared to other roofing companies i've used before. my first call was with derek, who really knew his stuff and offered clear, practical solutions for my leaky roof. even though you usually expect someone older to have all the answers for roof leaks, derek’s energy and enthusiasm for problem solving really stood out. his crew, led by marvin, worked hard, paid attention to every detail, and clearly knew what they were doing, which gave me a lot of confidence. they truly back up their work, which is rare these days. after a heavy rain, i noticed a small leak under my solar panels and called derek. he showed up the next morning with marvin and quickly took care of it. it's tough to find reliable roofers in elizabeth, but these folks are dependable and trustworthy.

We asked for a roof assessment so we could give honest information to buyers during the sale of our home. Marvin came out and did a very detailed inspection, checking not only the roof itself but also the decking underneath and even looked …
