Roofing and chimney work in Butler
Butler is a small borough in the northern tip of Morris County, along the Pequannock River and Route 23 at the edge of the Highlands. It grew as an industrial town, with rubber manufacturing among its historic industries, and its compact center still reflects that past: older homes on small lots, a traditional downtown, and former factory and industrial buildings with large low-slope roofs. Wooded hills rise around the borough on several sides.

Housing in Butler
Butler's housing is a mix of early-1900s homes near the center, many of them modest gable-front and two-story frame houses built close together, with mid-century capes, ranches and split-levels on the streets farther out and on the hillsides. There are some two-family houses and small apartment buildings. Along the river and Route 23 are industrial, warehouse and commercial buildings with flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Butler sits in a valley with hills rising nearby, so it gets the colder winters and heavier snow of the Highlands edge. Homes near the Pequannock River deal with damp valley air, and hillside lots under mature trees see heavy leaf loads and shade. Strong summer storms and nor'easters bring wind-driven rain, and large flat roofs in the industrial areas are exposed to the full force of wind and ponding rain.
