Big news for New Jersey homeowners: Braga Brothers Contracting is now officially operating as Braga Brothers Roofing, Siding & Windows.Â
We’re still the same family-owned company, now with a name that finally matches what we actually do every day across Monmouth County and beyond.
Because when you go looking for a contractor, you need clarity, not guesswork about who handles what.
In this post, we’ll explain why our name changed, what it means for you if you’ve worked with us before, and which services are now front and center.
Why the Name Change Happened
Braga Brothers has built project by project over more than three decades. Roofing came first. Then siding requests started coming in from the same homeowners. Then windows. Then gutters. The work expanded naturally because the team had the skills and the certifications to back it up.
The name never kept pace with that growth.
“Contracting” is a word that could mean anything. A homeowner in Holmdel searching for a siding contractor or a window installer had no reason to connect that word to Braga Brothers. The company had grown into a full exterior services operation, and the name was still describing a version of the business that no longer told the full story.
Braga Brothers Roofing, Siding & Windows is not a reinvention. It is the business finally introducing itself the right way.
That said, nothing about the team, the ownership, or the licensing has changed. Lucas, Pedro, and Thiago Braga still run the show alongside their father, Ramon “Big Ray” Braga, who came to New Jersey from Brazil in 1988 with a hammer, a work ethic, and a dream. The name on the door is different. Everything behind it is the same.
What Stays the Same
We want to make this crystal clear for returning customers and neighbors who’ve referred us to friends:
- Same ownership (Lucas, Pedro, Thiago, and Ramon Braga)
- Same NJ license number: 13VH11889200
- Same phone number and same office
- Same warranties on past and future projects
- Same crews, same project managers, same supervisors
- Same 30+ years of family experience
- Same 200+ five-star reviews you may have read before calling
If you’ve got paperwork from a job we completed under “Braga Brothers Contracting,” it’s still valid. Nothing about your warranty, your records, or your relationship with us is affected.
Our legal entity hasn’t changed. Only the public-facing name has been refined.
The Services We’re Known For
1. Roofing
For most of our history, roofing is what New Jersey homeowners knew us for first. It is still the core of what we do, and it is where our deepest certifications sit.
Our roofing work is anchored by our status as a GAF Master Elite Contractor, a certification held by only about 2% of roofers in North America. That means enhanced warranty options, rigorous training requirements, and a proven track record of quality installations.
We handle:
- Full roof replacements (asphalt, metal, and mixed-material designs)
- Storm damage repair and insurance claim guidance
- Sheathing replacement and structural repairs
2. Siding
Siding is the second thing most homeowners come to us for, and it is where we put just as much attention as we do on roofing.
As a James Hardie Alliance Elite Contractor, we specialize in fiber cement siding built to handle New Jersey’s wet winters, humid summers, and coastal exposure. The Alliance Elite designation is not handed out loosely. It requires demonstrated installation standards, product knowledge, and a track record of completed projects that meet James Hardie‘s quality benchmarks.
We also install LP SmartSide engineered wood and vinyl siding for homeowners who are working with a different budget or looking for a specific aesthetic.
We handle:
- Siding replacement and full installation
- James Hardie fiber cement and LP SmartSide engineered wood
- Vinyl siding installation
- Trim and fascia work alongside siding projects
3. Windows
Windows tend to be the last thing homeowners budget for, right up until they notice the draft in January or the noise coming through the glass at night.
We are a Marvin Authorized Installer, which means we install one of the most trusted window lines in the industry with the product knowledge and training to back it up. We also work with ProVia windows for homeowners who want premium performance at a different price point. Beyond brand, we focus on proper sealing, flashing, and fit, because a quality window installed poorly performs like a cheap one.
We handle:
- Window replacement and new installation
- Marvin and ProVia window lines
- Single window replacements and full-home projects
- Proper flashing and weatherproofing around every opening
4. Gutters and Trim
Gutters do not get much attention until something goes wrong. By then, the damage is usually already inside the wall or at the foundation.
We install and replace seamless gutters sized and pitched correctly for each roofline. Poorly sized or sagging gutters push water where it does not belong, and in New Jersey, where heavy rain and snowmelt are common, that adds up quickly. We also handle fascia and trim work, which often needs attention at the same time as a roof or siding project.
We handle:
- Seamless gutter installation and replacement
- Gutter repair and re-pitching
- Fascia and trim installation
- Downspout placement and drainage planning
5. Decks
Deck work is not the biggest part of what we do, but it comes up often enough that it is worth mentioning. Homeowners replacing siding or upgrading their exterior sometimes want to tie in a deck build or repair at the same time, and we handle that as part of the project scope.
If you have a deck project in mind alongside other exterior work, reach out, and we can talk through what makes sense.
Why Clarity in a Contractor’s Name Matters
When a hailstorm rolls through, and your neighbor asks who replaced your roof, they want a straight answer.
Saying “Braga Brothers Roofing, Siding & Windows” tells them exactly what we do before they even pick up the phone. No more second-guessing.
This also helps with online searches. If you typed “roofing contractor Holmdel NJ” into Google last year, you might have scrolled past us because the old name didn’t include those words.
That was a missed connection we wanted to fix.
