Scotch Plains homes and their roofs
Scotch Plains is DMF's home base. Our crews live and work here, so we know the housing stock street by street: 1920s and 1930s colonials near the village center, post-war Capes and split-levels through the middle of town, and larger 1960s homes on the sloped lots climbing toward the Watchung Reservation.
Cape roofs: steep, with lots of flashing
Scotch Plains Capes have steep roofs, dormers, and a lot of wall-to-roof flashing, and the finished half-story often has little attic ventilation. That combination causes ice dams and leaks. We fix the flashing and ventilation, not just the shingles.
Split-level roof lines
Split-levels have several roof sections meeting at different heights. Those intersections need careful step flashing and cricket work, and it's where most split-level leaks start.
Colonials: simple roofs, big walls
Colonial roofs in Scotch Plains are usually simple gables, which keeps roofing cost down. The big two-story walls are where siding makes the biggest visual difference, and many still have 1970s aluminum siding.
Scotch Plains pricing
Most Scotch Plains roof replacements run $14,000 to $28,000 for architectural shingles, because homes here tend to be larger or steeper. Roof-and-siding packages typically run $35,000 to $65,000.
