Hiring an Exterior Contractor in Short Hills? Here’s Our Case
What you can expect from the first call to the last walkthrough.
Financing for qualified homeowners through our financing partner, so a roof or window job that can’t wait doesn’t have to.
Our workmanship warranties are written and transfer to the next owner, which is a real selling point if you ever move.
The only siding credential we claim, and one we earned. CertainTeed siding goes on over taped house wrap with flashing at every opening.
You get the facts, the photos and a written price. Then you decide, on your time, without anyone pushing for a signature.
Registered NJ Home Improvement Contractor, HIC #13VH14050100, carrying commercial general liability insurance. We’ll send the certificate whenever you ask.
If a repair will do the job, that’s what we’ll quote you. We don’t sell roofs, siding or windows you don’t need.
How to Choose a Home Improvement Contractor in Short Hills, NJ
Don’t hire on price alone, and don’t hire on a handshake. Get the price, the scope, the products and the warranty in writing. Make sure the contractor is registered with the state and insured, and ask for the certificate. Find out what happens if they uncover rot or damage once the job is open, and how that’s billed. The contractors worth hiring answer all of that before you even think to ask.
We’ll also tell you what order to do things in. The roof comes first, gutters go on with it, and windows get flashed in before siding. You’ll get one point of contact and one itemized quote for the whole house, or separate quotes if you’d rather go project by project. Call (973) 713-1053 to have us look at your Short Hills home.
Your Questions, Answered
The things people want to know before they hire us.
Hidden conditions are the biggest wild card. Rotted plywood under shingles, soft sheathing behind siding or a rotten window sill can add to the job, and nobody knows until it’s opened up. Our quotes spell out how those items are priced before we start, so there’s no surprise on the final bill. Get yours free at (973) 713-1053.
We document it all: photos of every damaged area, notes on what caused it and a written scope of repairs. That paperwork helps your adjuster see the full picture. We never tell homeowners what their claim will pay, because that’s your insurer’s decision. We just make sure the evidence is there.
Drywall repair is part of our painting service. We patch holes, fix cracks and smooth damaged areas so the finished walls look right, then prime and paint. If you’re getting a room painted, just point out the problem spots at your estimate and we’ll include them.
Financing through our partner is an option for qualified homeowners, and it can cover bigger jobs like a full roof or whole-house siding as well as smaller ones. We’ll explain how it works during your free estimate, with no pressure either way. Start on our financing page.
It’s all in writing and it’s transferable. Our workmanship warranty on siding, windows, doors, gutters and painting goes with the house if you sell, and on roofing it’s a 10-year warranty on top of up to 50 years of non-prorated Owens Corning coverage for a complete system. Product warranties come from each manufacturer.
One contractor is usually the better choice, as long as they’re good at every part. The biggest benefit is that the pieces tie together: roof edges, gutters, siding, window flashing and trim are all done by the same company, so nobody blames the other trade when something leaks. You also get one quote, one contact and one warranty relationship.
Start with licensing, insurance and reviews, then look at how they quote. A top-rated contractor gives you photos, honest repair-versus-replace advice and a written, itemized price. That’s how we work at Nail Force, along with Owens Corning Preferred roofing, CertainTeed SidingMaster siding and written, transferable workmanship warranties on everything we do.
The roof usually comes first, because it protects everything underneath it. After that, windows go in before new siding so they’re properly flashed, and gutters go on with the roof. Paint comes last. Every house is different, though, so we’ll look at yours and tell you honestly what’s most urgent.
Every estimate we give is free. Call (973) 713-1053 or use the form on this page, tell us what you need, and we’ll schedule a time to come out. If you’d like us to check the rest of the exterior while we’re there, just ask and we’ll do it at no extra charge.
Most overflows come from clogs, poor pitch or gutters that are too small for the roof. Leaves block the outlets, sagging sections hold water, and five-inch gutters can struggle on big roofs. We’ll clean or repair what’s there, or install 6-inch gutters with larger downspouts.
