Your commercial roof protects your business, your inventory, and your people. A failure doesn’t just mean repairs, it means downtime, liability, and disruption to operations. American Craftsmen Construction has been delivering performance-driven commercial roofing solutions to New Jersey businesses since 1987. We assess your building’s existing system, exposure, and operational needs before recommending a single dollar of work.
A commercial roof is one of the highest-value components of any business property, and one of the most consequential when it fails. Water intrusion doesn’t just damage inventory and equipment. It halts operations, creates liability exposure, and triggers costly emergency repairs that dwarf the price of routine maintenance. For New Jersey business owners, managing a commercial roof well is a core part of protecting the investment you’ve made in your property.
At American Craftsmen Construction, we’ve been installing, repairing, and maintaining commercial roofing systems across New Jersey since 1987. Every project starts with a thorough on-site evaluation of your existing system, membrane condition, drainage performance, flashing integrity, and insulation. We don’t recommend replacements when coatings will do the job. We don’t recommend repairs when the underlying system has reached the end of its service life. You get an honest assessment, a clear scope, and a written quote before any work begins.
Our commercial roofing services cover the full lifecycle of your roof system, from new construction installs and full tear-off replacements to targeted repairs, roof coatings, and structured preventative maintenance programs. Every project is managed and installed by our own W-2 crew. No subcontractors, no handoff surprises. We work around your operating schedule to minimize disruption, and we back every job with our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
From emergency repairs to long-term maintenance programs, we handle every aspect of commercial roofing in-house. Here’s what we offer, and what each service actually delivers for your property.
Commercial roofing projects require tighter coordination than residential work, operating schedules, tenant occupancy, loading dock access, and mechanical systems all factor into how and when work gets done. Our process is designed to deliver a complete, documented project with minimal disruption to your business. Every step is confirmed in writing before it begins.

We work with a full range of commercial roofing systems, recommending materials based on your building’s configuration, drainage design, occupancy type, and long-term maintenance goals, not manufacturer incentives. Here are the four systems we install most often for New Jersey commercial properties.
Durable single-ply roofing systems, including TPO and EPDM, provide excellent waterproofing, energy efficiency, and flexibility. These systems are ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs, delivering reliable, long-term performance in a wide range of conditions.
Seamless fiberglass roofing systems provide superior waterproofing, exceptional durability, and low maintenance. Ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs, they offer long-term protection against moisture, weather exposure, and everyday wear.
Modified bitumen systems offer exceptional durability and puncture resistance, making them the preferred choice for commercial rooftops with heavy foot traffic, rooftop mechanical equipment, or frequent access by maintenance personnel. We install APP and SBS-modified systems using torch-applied, cold-applied, and self-adhered methods.
Elastomeric and silicone roof coatings can add 10–15 years of service life to an existing commercial roofing system at 30–50% of the cost of a full replacement, when the underlying substrate is sound. We perform core sampling and infrared moisture scans before recommending a coating, ensuring you’re not coating over trapped moisture.
There’s no shortage of commercial roofing contractors in New Jersey. Here’s why property owners, facility managers, and building operators from Monmouth County to Middlesex County trust American Craftsmen with their most critical asset.

I have had many interactions with George from American Craftsman his work is top notch. When you call them you are dealing with the owner not a salesperson I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing work on their home
George completed our roofing project today. He was very professional and courteous during the whole process from the estimate to the final nail in the roof. Pricing was extremely fair and he used only the best materials available. His crew were efficient and neat. I would highly recommend American Craftsmen Construction for any home remodeling needs.
Timeline depends on building size, roofing system, and site access. A standard 10,000 sq ft flat roof replacement typically takes three to five business days. Larger facilities or phased projects can extend several weeks. We confirm the full timeline in your written scope before mobilization and work around your operating schedule.
Yes. Most of our commercial projects are completed on occupied properties, offices, warehouses, retail centers, and multi-unit buildings. We plan access, material staging, and work sequencing to minimize disruption. Phased installs, off-hours work, and weekend mobilizations are standard parts of our process.
A repair addresses isolated damage to a system that is otherwise sound. A coating restores and extends an aging but structurally intact system, typically adding 10–15 years of service life at 30–50% of replacement cost. A replacement is warranted when the system has trapped moisture, structural compromise, or has exceeded its practical service life. We assess which applies after a physical evaluation.
Yes. We provide full photo documentation, written damage assessments, and a claim package formatted to meet standard adjuster requirements. We’ve supported hundreds of successful NJ commercial storm claims and will provide a supplemental report at no charge if your initial claim is disputed.
Yes. Our preventative maintenance programs include bi-annual inspections, drainage clearing, sealant refresh, flashing inspection, and a written condition report after each visit. Programs are available for single buildings or multi-property portfolios and documented for capital planning, insurance renewals, and warranty compliance.
We install TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems, as well as elastomeric and silicone roof coatings. We also handle metal, copper, aluminum specialty systems, and fiberglass for commercial applications. Material recommendations are always based on your building’s configuration and operational requirements.
These are the questions we hear most from commercial property owners and facility managers before a project starts. Every question gets a straight answer before we schedule anything.
No pressure, no commitment. A thorough on-site evaluation of your commercial roofing system and a written scope of work, typically within 48 hours of your request. Serving commercial properties across Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex counties.
