Roof Repair in Morristown, NJ
Morris County's historic seat means a lot of historic roofs. We restore slate and tile with the same care the original builders did, and we work to the town's aesthetic standards.
Roof Repair in Morristown, done right.
Morristown's downtown sits inside a National Register Historic District, which means a lot of homes here are required to maintain period-correct exteriors, and that includes the roof. We've done slate restorations on Federal-style colonials near the Green and full residential re-roofs on the newer construction out toward Convent Station.
Morristown's tree cover is heavier than Bergen County's. That changes everything about how a roof ages: more debris in gutters, more moss on north-facing slopes, more falling-limb damage in summer storms. We plan maintenance differently here than we do for our coastal-exposed Bergen County customers.
Morristown is part of our Morris County roofing service area. We are a New Jersey roofing contractor headquartered in Englewood.

Slate slippage and crown failure
Period homes throughout the historic district have original slate that's reaching the end of its serviceable life. Tiles slip, copper crown flashings split, masonry crowns crack.
Gutter clogs and ice dams from tree cover
Heavy tree canopy means gutters fill with leaves faster than anywhere in Bergen County. Clogged gutters cause ice dams. We do scheduled maintenance plans for tree-heavy properties.
Falling-limb damage
Morristown loses more roofs to trees than to wind. Punctured decking, broken slate, and torn flashing from summer thunderstorms and winter snow-loaded limbs.
Chimney crown and flashing failure
Older masonry chimneys throughout downtown homes have failing crowns and worn counter-flashing. These are almost always the first leak source on a pre-1950 home.

In Morristown the leak usually starts at a detail that is older than anyone living in the house. Original slate roofs near the Green shed water well for a century, but the flashing in their valleys, at their dormers and around their chimneys wears out long before the stone, and a cracked masonry crown lets water soak down into the chimney itself. On the tree-covered streets, clogged gutters back water up under the eaves, and in winter that becomes ice. Roof leak repair on these homes means tracing the water from the attic and replacing the failed flashing in kind, not smearing tar over a historic roof.
Roof replacement in Morristown
A roof replacement in Morristown looks different depending on the street. The newer construction toward Convent Station and the post-war houses around town are standard asphalt tear-offs, usually finished in one to two days. In and around the historic district, replacing a roof can need Historic Preservation Commission review, and the right answer is often restoring the slate rather than replacing it. We pull the permit, coordinate the review when a property needs it, and give you a fixed written price either way. Our roof replacement page explains how the work runs.

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.
