Roofing and chimney work in Morris Township
Morris Township wraps almost completely around the Town of Morristown, and its housing spans a wider range than almost anywhere in the county. The Convent Station section along Madison Avenue still has large estate-era homes and institutional buildings, including the campus of Saint Elizabeth University, while the western side of the township rises into the wooded hills of Washington Valley and the area around Lewis Morris County Park. In between are mid-century subdivisions, larger later-20th-century colonials and several townhouse and condominium communities.

We specialize in shingle and flat roofing and full chimney service, and on the slate, tile and cedar roofs found on some older estate homes we can assess and advise. We are licensed and insured, estimates are free, and we work on residential and commercial properties.
Housing in Morris Township
Morris Township's housing includes late-1800s and early-1900s estate homes and carriage houses, particularly around Convent Station, 1940s through 1960s capes, ranches and colonials in established neighborhoods, larger colonials and custom homes from the 1970s onward on wooded lots, and attached townhouse and condominium complexes. Asphalt shingle is the most common roof covering, with slate, tile and cedar on some older and higher-end homes, and institutional and office buildings carry flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Elevation rises from the Convent Station area toward the hills on the western side of the township, where homes are more exposed to wind and see more snow. Mature woods and street trees cover most residential lots, bringing heavy leaf fall and shade. Winters are cold with frequent freeze-thaw cycles, and nor'easters drive rain into older flashing and masonry.
