Roofing and chimney work in Netcong
Netcong is a compact borough at the far western edge of Morris County, on the shore of Lake Musconetcong and next to the Sussex County line. It grew as a railroad and lake town, and its housing reflects that: older frame houses on small lots near the center and the train station, a short commercial stretch of mixed-use buildings, and lake-oriented homes near the water. Route 46 and Route 183 run through town, with I-80 just to the south.

Housing in Netcong
Much of Netcong's housing dates from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s: two-story frame houses, small capes and bungalows on narrow lots, many with a single brick chimney. A modest number of mid-century and later homes, small apartment buildings and townhouses fill in around them. The commercial area has older two-story buildings with low-slope roofs behind front parapets or false fronts.
Weather and exposure
Netcong sits in the Highlands near Lake Musconetcong and the Musconetcong River, so winters are cold and snowy and the lake adds humidity and wind on its shore. Older homes are close together, which shades side walls and roofs and makes some roof areas hard to reach. Summer storms bring heavy, short downpours.
