Roof Repair in Chatham, NJ
Borough and Township both. We work on the Colonials along Fairmount Ave and the older homes near the Passaic, and the new construction out toward the country club.
Roof Repair in Chatham, done right.
Chatham is essentially two municipalities, Chatham Borough on the train line and Chatham Township to the south, that share a school district and an architectural language. Most of the housing here is Colonial Revival from the post-war boom, with a meaningful chunk of older Victorian and Federal homes on the streets nearest the Borough's downtown.
The story of a Chatham roof is usually a tree story. Mature oaks and maples shade most of the lots, which is beautiful and also problematic: north-facing roofs grow moss, gutters fill weekly in fall, and every windstorm brings down a few limbs. We do more proactive maintenance work here than we do in less-shaded towns like Summit.

Moss on north-facing slopes
Heavy shade keeps north slopes wet year-round. Moss takes hold and shortens shingle life. Treatment plus zinc-strip prevention is the standard fix.
Falling-limb damage
Summer thunderstorms drop mature oak limbs onto roofs. We respond same-day for tarping and insurance work.
Chimney flashing failure on older Colonials
Pre-1950s masonry chimneys with worn counter-flashing are the leading leak source in Chatham's older housing.
Worn pipe boots and skylight seals on 1950s-60s housing
Original 60+ year old rubber boots eventually crack. Easy fix if caught early.

In Chatham, most roof leaks trace back to the trees. Shaded north slopes stay damp and grow moss that lifts shingle edges, gutters fill with oak and maple leaves and back water up under the eaves, and a limb that came down in a storm may have cracked shingles nobody noticed from the ground. The other usual sources are the masonry chimneys on the pre-1950s Colonials and the 1950s and 1960s vent boots that have finally cracked. Roof leak repair finds which one it is before anything is patched.
Roof replacement in Chatham
A roof replacement in Chatham Borough or Township is usually a Colonial Revival tear-off: one to two days on most homes, with new flashing at the chimney, ventilation set up for a damp, shaded attic, and a permit pulled with whichever municipality you are in. The Victorian and Federal homes near downtown have steeper, more complicated roofs that take longer, with the same fixed written price up front. And if a roof still has life, treating the moss and fixing the flashing may buy years instead.

Reviews from the Chatham area.
Ice dam on a Sunday in January. They steamed it off the same afternoon and came back two weeks later to fix the venting so it wouldn't happen again.
