JOHN ASCH CONTRACTING INC. / ASCHROOFING.COM

I reside in East Brunswick's Lexington Village, a townhouse community with rows of five attached homes. In 2021, I replaced my roof through a roofing company. My neighbor's house, which is attached to mine, had its roof replaced in May, of 2023 by John Asch Roofing Company. At the end of November, 2024, I noticed that there were squirrels in my attic. I contacted Anchor Pest Control to perform a removal of these squirrels. During their inspection, the representative took numerous photos and identified a significant issue: part of a plywood sheet was completely rotted, and the shingles above were unsupported, allowing wildlife access to my attic. Following this discovery, I called my roofer and an additional roofing contractor to evaluate the cause of the problem. Both roofers stated that the plywood rotting is resulted from improperly installed flashing, which was installed by John Asch Roofing Company at my neighbor’s. To prevent further damage, I hired my roofing company to repair the roof. Meanwhile, my neighbor contacted the owner of John Asch Roofing Company to discuss the issue. The owner of John Asch Roofing promised to visit on December 27, 2024, but failed to show up or reschedule an appointment. I called John Asch Roofing Company and spoke to the owner trying to address the matter. He was very rude and did not want to listen to what I had learned. I called his insurance broker at Robert P. Petri & Daughter Agency, to try initiate a claim. However, they informed me that only the business owner can initiate a claim under the Certificate of Liability Insurance provided to homeowners. This certificate merely verifies that the business has a policy; it cannot be used by homeowners to file claims directly. Based on my experience, John Asch Roofing Company appears to lack both professionalism and quality workmanship.

We needed to start from scratch & have the whole roof including plywood removed & all new installed. We had used John's company before so we knew they were honest & professional. They actually showed up 15 minutes early & immediately started work. It was really hot out but they never stopped except for lunch. By 4:30 it was complete. Later that same day they sent someone over to check that everything was done correctly. They never bothered us, just wanted to do an inspection. Roof looks great. I would highly recommend this company.

Had roof installed 15 years ago by John Asch, developed leak. The came out found nails holding vents had rusted. They replaced nails on all vents and resealed. They did a great job originally and they did a great job now. I recommend them highly.

Called before scheduled time to let us know they would be 2 hours late due to extreme cold weather. Makes sense since any type of roof sealing likely can't seal correctly in the extreme cold. After that arrived on time. After looking at the chimney, they found that the original solution offered would not work (was discussed via phone, no in-person inspection prior to work being done). Offered alternative solutions, and was able to perform work for not too much more than originally quoted. Fast and professional, I would recommend for future work.

We used him multiple times. He’s outstanding and very prompt. He showed up with the workers. They cleaned everything up. They did a great job. Everybody was nice. He definitely knew stuff.

Was to install (2) rows of ice & water shield as per contract and luckily I took off from work to keep an eye on them, because they were only installing (1) row. The (1) row barely made it past the overhang, right were the ice-water transition would be. Also I had 40 year shingles installed and they installed plastic roof vents (not gable vents) and was informed by John Ash himself that the plastic will last longer. Oh and he also said he will be on the job while the work is being performed and he only did a drive by once. The workers do not speak english very well so when the ice & water shield was installed wrong the worker had to have me talk to John on the worker's cell so that John could explain to the worker what had to be done. You get what you pay for.

John Asch, the owner, was so professional from the estimate to the actual day of the roofing work. He kept us informed on the changes due to weather and the time they would be arriving. On the day of the work, he called twice to give us updates and changes that had to be made. His crew did a super job and cleaned up before they left. On top of all this, another guy came on a Sunday to make sure our yard was indeed clean. They are a super super company and we just wish all contractors could be so great.

It went well, they did a good job. Would recommend them to anyone.

John Asch Roofing had originally replaced my roof this past summer. I saw something that did not look normal on the roof last night, I called him and he came to my house today. In my older home, there is tongue and groove boards under the shingles and some bent upwards. They repaired the problem 1-2-3. I can't believe the quick response and still that pleasant attitude from the company. Thanks again.

From the first phone call to enquire about new roof shingles to the pick-up of the dumpster when the job was done resulted in a perfect job! They came the day they were scheduled and completed the job in one day. They left the yard spotless. The roof looks fabulous! If you want a worry-free contractor, John Asch is the right man!

I had been researching for a roofer. I had three companies come to my house and have an estimate done. I called these three based on personal references or web reviews. I hired John Asch roofing to do the job. When I first met John he had explained the job thoroughly. It did not bother him that he was explaining to a woman, especially since I probably know more about the “construction” industry than my husband. That really should not matter, but to me it did, since others asked to speak to my husband. I had a total rip off of two layers of roof and wanted the detached garage done as well. John had called to schedule an estimate. He arrived promptly as he scheduled and he was very courteous to me. I hired John to do the roof job. We signed a contract and had an estimated date at the end of the month. I told him if he could do it earlier, the better, but this is always weather permitting. He called about 2 weeks before the date and stated he could get to me that week, which ended up being 10 days early. The company and people he has employed for him, I cannot say enough good things about them. Let me start with the day before, John called and told me to have driveway cleared for dumpster and materials. The person who delivered the dumpster and materials was great, tight fitting street, cars parked all over, he was so professional and a terrific driver. The next morning a crew of five (5) showed up to start. I was amazed at how fast and how hard these men work. They knocked this job off in a day, both the house and the detached garage. I really am so happy with the workmanship of it all. They did a wonder installation job, but an even better clean up job. As if that wasn’t good enough, John had a crew come later that night and fine tune the cleanup. Outstanding. The dumpster was also picked up that night. The next day you would not have known the amount of work that had been done. Back to normal. I will be recommending John Asch and company to everyone. From beginning to end form the Owner to the installers to the cleanup, a great bunch of workers. Hard workers. Thank you.

I contacted them based on a friend's recommendation. John was communicative and came to assess the job. He was able to get us a quote quickly and left shingle samples for us to review. We checked a few contractors and he wasn't the least expensive however John seems to use a regular crew and his work was guaranteed. We signed the contract and were on our way. The work went smoothly. The installers were neat and respectful. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

The cost included all the materials and labor. They also took the old roof down, cleaned it up, and took it off the property. They are excellent. Every aspect of it was so professional. The owner came about six months before when I was getting estimates. I had a number of estimates and he was just so different from the other roofers that I spoke with like the other big providers. I did not like them at all.

Excellent job, they came on time, completed exactly what we expected would be done. Will recommend them and will use them for any roofing needs.

John was very punctual and professional throughout. The cedar roof on a home we had just purchased was badly installed and developed leaks. While a new roof will be needed in the near future, John's team did an excellent job repairing the existing leaks. After searching for a reputable cedar shake roofer for months, it was a pleasure to find John and his team. We will certainly use him to install a brand new roof soon.

Very well, arrived on time and performed the job as promised

In 1985 when our porch needed a new roof, we were fortunate in choosing Asch Roofing - no Angie's list back then to help us choose. We were so happy with their work that in 1999 when hurricane Floyd destroyed the slate roof on the main part of our house, we asked Asch to handle this big job. And of course they did an excellent job once again. Removing the slate, putting on a new asphalt shingle roof, and cleaning up. So, this year when we wanted to replace the 1985 roof, the decision was easy - Asch Roofing. Asch helped us choose which shingle to use and worked with us on our tight deadline to get the work done. And of course they once again did great work, leaving us with a beautiful roof, while not disturbing the landscaping and lawn. Highly recommend. Now we're working with Asch on an estimate for additional work we'd like done. Looking forward to continuing the relationship.

It was horrible. They gave us an estimate to repair the roof and when the amount of money ran out, they stopped the work. They insisted that we do a correction to the roof that we didn't want to do and told us that it was the only possible thing. They left the job half done and the pieces of the roof are in my driveway. John Asch could not communicate at all to me as a woman and would only speak with my husband.

Tania came out first and checked the situation. Then he sent two guys out to make the repair. He was matter of fact and was able to do work on my slate roof. He found the hole and was able to block it. I had used him before for other roof repairs. He followed up after the work was done to make sure I was satisfied.

John Asch first gave me an estimate for re-roofing my home in November. They completed the job in January in two days, removing two layers of old roofing and installing the new roof. Their crew stated early, worked hard and did a great job of clean-up when the roofing was complete.

John is the only contractor I have ever worked with that had such good communication. I could go on and on but really all you need to know is I will never call anyone else for a roofing problem but John and he is the one of only 2 contractors I recommend to friends.

I had an old leaking slate roof. I called John Asch to have it repaired, but the repair didn't work, because the roof was too old. I had it replaced. I solicited several quotes, and his was one of the best. The crew came and replaced the old slate roof with some special asphalt shingles that kind of look like slate. It took them about 2.5 days. They also replaced my yankee gutters. The crew was nice and efficient. I appreciated how they were able to work in very tight spaces - my house is very close to my neighbor's and the crew communicated with them as well, so there were no tension. I was also impressed by how the crew was able to protect my lilac bush, despite the fact that it was directly on the path of slate shingles coming down. I think the company did a very good job - my roof isn't leaking anymore, and it looks great!

They are exactly as advertised. Their price was well below the competition.

We had flashing near the peak of the roof come looseand then bend downwards. This happened on Friday 1/13 during high winds. John Asch returned my call promptly and said he could repair on Saturday 1/14 AM which was the very next morning. We were trying to get the repair done asap as we realized it could become a big and more serious project if not addresed quickly. John called about 20 minutes prior to his Saturday AM arrival to confirm his ETA (Very nice and appreciated touch). John and his helper performed the quickly, thoroughly and professionally. Was a pleasure to work with and would definitley use John Asch Contracting again.

The quote was for about $7000.00. I did not end up going with them. I didn't end up changing my roof. They seemed very professional. The reason why I didn't go with them was because the time it would take for them to do the work was just going to be a long time. Even when I tried to get them to do a roof repair after that, it just seemed to be a long time before they were able to start work so that was the issue there. It would be a little hard for me to recommend them because I didn't use them, but that was my issue. It looked like a very professional operation. They came on time. I am not in the area anymore so most likely I won't be using them again in the future. I don't know if I would have used them when I was there because their timeliness to deal with the work was the issue.
