SERVICE AREA
Roofing, Siding & Gutters in Martinsville, NJ
Roofing, siding, and gutters for Martinsville homes on wooded Watchung hillside lots, from 1960s split-levels to 1990s colonials. Free written estimates.
OVERVIEW
Hillside lots, tall trees, and two generations of homes, in the same township as our office.
HOW IT WORKS HERE
Look at the lot, then the roof.
On a Martinsville hillside, access and drainage shape the job before a single shingle is chosen.
01
Walk the lot
Driveway access, where materials can be staged, and where roof water drains once it leaves the gutters.
02
Inspect the house
Roof, flashing, gutters, siding, and windows, photographed so you can see what we see.
03
Scope & permits
An itemized written scope that also notes which parts of the job need a Bridgewater permit and which do not.
04
Stage, install, clean up
Our own crew stages materials safely on the slope, installs the work, and sweeps the property for nails.
Exterior contractor for Martinsville, in our own township
SGM Home Restoration (NJ HIC #13VH13723900) works throughout Martinsville, the 08836 section of Bridgewater Township around Washington Valley Road, Chimney Rock, and the First Watchung Mountain. Our office at 1 Clark Ct is in the same township, so the crew that gives you the estimate is close by for the install and every follow-up visit.
The work Martinsville homes most often need is roof replacement on larger roofs with several planes, gutter installation sized for hillside runoff, siding updates on mid-century houses, and window replacement.
Mostly single-family homes from two eras
Census estimates show that about 90 percent of Martinsville's housing is single-family detached homes, and 96 percent of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. Construction came in two waves: roughly 41 percent of homes were built between 1950 and 1969, and another 21 percent in the 1990s.
Those two waves need different things. A 1960s ranch or split-level is usually on its second or third roof and may still have original siding and windows. A 1990s colonial often has a large, cut-up roof with several gables, valleys, and dormers, and its original shingles are now around 30 years old. That kind of roof takes careful valley and flashing work, and a crew that plans material staging before the first bundle is carried up.
Hillside lots on the First Watchung Mountain
Martinsville is the hilly part of Bridgewater, where the Watchung Mountains cross the township. Washington Valley Park alone covers about 719 acres along the First Watchung ridge, and many homes sit on sloped, wooded lots with long driveways and steps up to the front door.
On a slope, what happens to roof water matters as much as the roof. Gutters need to be sized for the roof area feeding them, and downspouts need to discharge far enough from the foundation, and away from walkways and driveways below, that water does not come back toward the house. Our gutter guards page covers the tree debris side of the problem.
Fewer approvals, but still the right paperwork
Because most Martinsville homes are detached and owner-occupied, there is usually no association to approve your project. Under the New Jersey construction code, replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family home is ordinary maintenance, and so is replacing existing siding or a window in the same opening. Replacing rotted decking, enlarging an opening, or adding a skylight is a different story, and those go through Bridgewater's construction office.
Martinsville also has deep roots. The Continental Army's Middlebrook encampment sat along the First Watchung ridge nearby during the Revolutionary War. If your house is a designated historic site, check with the township before changing exterior materials. Request a free estimate and we will walk the house and the lot with you.

What Our Customers Say
Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 customers on Google
We used SGM Home Restoration to replace our roof and we can’t recommend Silverio and his team enough. Very honest and reliable, they were on time, no surprises and they did a very profesional job. Totally recommended 👌
Have used SGM Home Restoration & Roofing on many occasions. They were my roofer on two apartment complexes in Flemington and also replaced my roof on my own home. Silverio is wonderful to work with. They are thorough in both their work and clean up. Also their prices were more than 50% lower than the highest bid I received for my home. Would highly recommend getting a bid from this company on your next home repair/improvement.
Silverio and his crew did an amazing Job with our roof. Totally recommended.
The best option. Professional services.
We had a great experience with Silverio from SGM Roofing. He installed a completely new roof on our home in Bridgewater, and we couldn’t be happier! Very punctual, very kind, and transparent from the beginning. He explained everything clearly, gave us a detailed estimate, and kept us updated throughout the whole installation. He finished everything the same day, just as he promised. He also did an amazing job cleaning up afterward. He even used magnets to make sure there were no nails left in our driveway! We are very happy with the work and would 100% recommend Silverio and SGM Home Restoration
