Changing the World, One Family at a Time

At this time of year, Up and Above Contractors is grateful to be able to use our business to serve the community in other ways, including involvement with our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Recently we donated 12 new and five sample windows to be used for future Habitat projects that will help families in need of decent shelter right here in our area. We believe that when everyone works together we can continue to change the world, one family at a time!

How it Works
Sussex County Habitat for Humanity builds decent and affordable houses which are then sold to eligible families. The organization also does occasional rehabilitation work for families and organizations in need. Many of the construction materials are donated or purchased at a deep discount, enabling Habitat to keep costs low. There is no profit added to the sales price of a home, and no interest charged on the mortgage. Partner families invest hundreds of hours of sweat equity into building their own homes and the homes of others, and their monthly mortgage payments are used to construct additional Habitat houses.

About Sussex County HFH
Sussex County Habitat for Humanity was established in 1993 by a small group of people concerned with the need for decent, affordable housing in Sussex County, New Jersey. It is a non-profit Christian organization and affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. The ministry was founded on the belief that safe and decent shelter from the elements is a basic human need.

The Smart Choice: A Certified GAF Master Elite™ New Jersey Roofing Contractor

Getting a new roof should never become an exercise in worry and frustration. Unfortunately for many homeowners, their New Jersey roofing project is accompanied by nagging thoughts about whether the roof has been correctly installed and how long it will last – all because they haven’t hired the best contractor to do the work.

Why not take the stress out of choosing the right contractor for YOUR home? Up and Above Contractors is proud to participate in the exclusive Master Elite™ factory certification program, sponsored by GAF. As the largest roofing manufacturer in North America and in business for 125 years, GAF knows what it takes to provide homeowners with superior service. Because we abide by GAF’s high standards, our team can offer the very best products and installation service, backed by upgraded warranties not available through most roofers.

As a certified GAF Master Elite roofing contractor, we are:
• Fully licensed in New Jersey to perform roofing work.
• Adequately insured to protect you from financial responsibility in the event of injury or damage.
• Have a reputation for providing quality roofing services to our community.
• Committed to ongoing training to remain on the cutting edge of installation techniques.

Due to these stringent standards, only the top 3% of all roofing contractors have qualified as Master Elite contractors. Master Elite certification gives you the assurance that when your roof is installed by a GAF certified contractor and covered by a GAF system warranty, you’re getting the best product available on the market. For repair or replacement of your home’s New Jersey roofing system in Sussex, Warren or Morris counties, call Up and Above at (973) 531-4225.

It’s Graduation – But There’s Always Time for More Learning

Welcome to the Up and Above Contractors blog! We hope you enjoy reading it, and come back often.

Many families like ours are celebrating graduations this month, when our young people transition to the next stage in life. Outside of the classroom, as parents we hope we’ve instilled in our kids the importance of working hard and finding a career that satisfies their aspirations.

When we started Up and Above back in 1993, we aspired to deliver high quality craftsmanship combined with a great customer experience. We wanted to make working with a local New Jersey contractor a memorable one. Well, 18 years later and with thousands of very satisfied customers, we think we’ve achieved that goal.

But we’re not stopping there. As we see with our kids and their education through the years, there are always new things to learn — after “graduation.” That’s why we take seriously the ongoing education that our manufacturers provide. We spend considerable time learning about new products and new techniques that not only give us an edge over other contractors but also become advantageous to you, our customer.

Give us a call at 973-531-4225 if you’re looking to improve your roofing, siding, decks, or even if you’re considering an addition. We’re local, and we — the owners — will personally return your call. That’s one thing that nobody had to teach us!
