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.

We had a small roof leak, and Carter & Sons Roofing was recommended through our insurance company. The whole process felt easy and professional compared with other roofing contractors we have dealt with. Derek handled the first roof inspection and stayed honest, focusing only on the repair that was actually needed instead of trying to add extra work. Communication was great from start to finish. The appointment was even moved up to an earlier day, which helped us get the leak taken care of faster. We got a confirmation call the day before, and Jared called when he was on the way. He arrived right on time, completed the roofing repair efficiently, and cleaned up the area well after the job was done. What really stood out was how dependable and organized everything felt. In our past experience, many contractors do not communicate well or keep to the schedule, so this level of service made a big difference. The repair was handled smoothly, and we felt confident the roof issue was taken care of the right way.

After a bad storm caused roof damage and a tree hit my house in Perth Amboy, i reached out to Carter & Sons Roofing and had a really good experience. derek was helpful from the start, explained the roofing work in simple terms, followed up when he said he would, and made the whole repair process easy. The crew showed up as promised, removed the damaged shingles, handled the roof replacement work professionally, and did a great job cleaning up the property when they were done. i am very satisfied with the finished roof and how smoothly everything went. The workmanship was fantastic, the communication was solid, and the whole team was respectful and efficient. frederick also made sure the job details were covered, and jared helped keep everything on schedule. It is not easy dealing with storm damage, but they made it much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend them for roofing repairs or a new roof and give a 5 star recommendation.

I had my roof replaced from the shingles down to the plywood, and the whole roofing process went very smoothly. Frederick and his crew showed up on time, got right to work, and handled everything in a professional way. They worked efficiently from early morning into the evening and completed the roof replacement much faster than I expected without cutting corners. Frederick stayed in contact throughout the job and shared clear photo updates of the tear-off, decking, and shingle installation, which gave me a lot of confidence in the quality of the work. The new roof looks excellent, and you can tell the craftsmanship and attention to detail really matter to this team. I was also very impressed with the cleanup after the roofing work was done. The patio, yard, and surrounding areas were left neat, with no nails or debris left behind. The price was fair and reasonable for a full roof replacement, especially considering the quality materials, labor, and service. Working with Frederick was easy from start to finish. He was respectful, honest, and never pushy about repairs or extras. I felt comfortable asking questions, and everything was explained in simple terms. I would absolutely recommend this roofing company to anyone needing roof replacement or shingle work. Choosing them was a great decision.

Impressed to say the least, these roofers arrived early and started work right away. They had the old shingle roof torn off and hauled away before i got back home, and by late afternoon they were wrapping up the new roof install and doing a full cleanup. The whole roofing crew worked fast but still paid close attention to the details. I have plants and landscaping all around my house, and nothing was stepped on or damaged during the tear-off or installation. When they finished, there was no mess left behind and no sign they had been there other than the brand new roof. The process felt quick and easy from start to finish, and the workmanship looked solid. They kept the property protected, handled the debris removal well, and made the roof replacement smooth and stress free. It is great to have a reliable roof over my home in Perth Amboy, especially with the rain, wind, and changing weather we get in NJ. Hopefully i will not need another roof replacement for a long time, but if i do, i would call them again without hesitation. really happy with the results and the clean professional service.

Our home had an older shingle roof style that is no longer available, so after doing our best with upkeep, we finally moved forward with a full roof replacement. The team gave us several roofing options and explained how they could either …

They recently replaced my old roof and did a fast, professional roofing job that looked great and stayed right on the estimate. The full roof replacement took about three days, and the crew cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. Even the building inspector pointed out the quality of the workmanship. Before that, Derek came out to inspect my aging roof, found the source of a leak, and fixed it at no charge. He clearly explained that the roof still had some life left but that I should start planning and budgeting for a replacement in the near future. I really appreciated the honest advice and the lack of any pressure. Instead of a sales pitch, I got straightforward service, solid roofing knowledge, and real professionalism. It made the whole process much easier, and I felt confident knowing what to expect for my home in Perth Amboy. I would gladly contact them again for any future roofing work.

This roofing company did an excellent job. My husband and I were about to go on vacation when, with all the rain lately, we noticed a leak in the ceiling over our bed. We knew we couldn't leave until the problem was taken care of. I called …

Carter & Sons Roofing recently handled the re-roofing of our home in Perth Amboy, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. After talking to several roofing companies, we chose them because of the great workmanship we saw on other homes in the area, as well as their fair estimate and impressive 10-year warranty on both labor and materials. We went with a standing-seam metal roof, and the result is stunning—neighbors and even people driving by have commented on how sharp it looks. Roger, our main contact, was very knowledgeable about all the roofing options and explained everything clearly. He answered our questions quickly and kept us updated throughout the project. The crew was friendly, professional, and worked hard to get the job done. They finished the roof in about a week, and they made sure our yard was spotless before leaving. We really valued the honesty and quality of their work over just the price. Roger also stayed in touch with us before we even signed on, making sure all our concerns were addressed. We’re truly happy with our decision and would recommend their roofing services to anyone in Perth Amboy looking for reliable, top-notch roofers.

After searching all over Perth Amboy for a trustworthy roofer to check out a possible leak on our new home, I finally reached out to Carter & Sons Roofing. Right from the start, Derek and the crew were quick to respond and took the time to clearly explain what was going on with our roof. They provided helpful photos and made sure I understood every step of the process. The team came out the day after the inspection and handled the repairs efficiently. I’m very happy with their work and wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if I ever need roofing help in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable roofer in the area.
