Slate Roofing in Montclair, NJ
Massive Victorians on Upper Mountain Ave, Tudors near Bloomfield, and the historic district downtown. Slate, tile, and the careful work old homes deserve.
Slate Roofing in Montclair, done right.
Montclair has one of the highest concentrations of original slate and tile roofs in northern New Jersey. The town built up rapidly in the late 1800s as a wealthy commuter town for Manhattan, and the housing reflects that: three-story Victorians with multiple roof planes, complex valleys, decorative trim, and roofing materials chosen to last a century. A lot of those original roofs are now exactly a century old.
Matching a repair to a century-old slate field means sourcing tile that fits the original rather than dropping a modern substitute beside it. That's the work we do here regularly: slate restoration or full asphalt re-roofs on the homes that have given up on heritage materials.

Slate slippage on the Upper Mountain Ave Victorians
Original tile is reaching nail-fail territory. Tiles slide free even in mild weather; selective replacement extends the life, full restoration resets the clock.
Complex multi-plane valley flashing failures
Victorian roofs have lots of valleys. Original copper or steel flashing eventually splits or pulls away from the deck, a classic repair job.
Chimney crown deterioration
Original masonry crowns crack and let water into the chimney structure. Repair is usually cheaper than people think.
Falling-limb damage
Montclair's mature trees mean summer thunderstorms bring down large limbs onto roofs. We respond same-day for tarping and insurance documentation.
