Local knowledge

Essex County roofs at a glance

Montclair, Glen Ridge and the Oranges

Have some of the oldest and largest houses in North Jersey: Victorians, Colonial Revivals, Tudors and foursquares from roughly 1890–1930. Steep roofs, several chimneys per house, box gutters and built-in valleys. These homes reward slow, careful flashing work and punish shortcuts.

Tall, old chimneys

Two or three chimneys on one house is common. Crowns crack, mortar washes out and flashing was often patched with tar decades ago. We rebuild crowns and re-flash properly. See chimney flashing & crowns.

Slate, tile and cedar

Still cover some older Essex roofs.

West Essex (Verona, Cedar Grove, the Caldwells, Fairfield, Roseland)

Is mostly mid-century: capes, ranches, split-levels and colonials, similar to our home area, with simpler roofs.

Historic districts

Montclair, Glen Ridge and South Orange have historic districts where exterior changes, roofing materials included, can need preservation-commission review. We check your address before you pick materials.

Permits

Each Essex town has its own construction office under the NJ Uniform Construction Code; a re-roof usually needs a permit. In a historic district, plan extra time for preservation review.

FAQ

Essex County roofing questions

Do you work on big old Montclair houses?

Yes, on asphalt and flat sections. Multi-chimney Victorians and Tudors are where our masonry background helps most.

My house is in a historic district. Can I still replace the roof?

Usually yes, but your town may review the material and color first. We'll help you put together what the commission needs.

There's a leak at my box gutter. Can you fix that?

If yes: "Yes. We reline the box gutter with a membrane or metal liner and re-flash where it meets the roof."

How far is Essex from your shop?

Fairfield and the Caldwells are about 20 minutes; Montclair 25–30.

Do you do chimney rebuilds in Essex?

Yes. Tall chimneys on older Essex homes are a big part of our chimney work. See chimney rebuilds.
