Roofing and chimney work in Berkeley Heights
Berkeley Heights sits at the far western end of Union County, where the Passaic River forms the boundary with Morris County and the Watchung Reservation and the wooded ridges of the Watchung Mountains rise to the south and east. It is a residential township of mostly post-war and later single-family homes on generous, often wooded lots, with office campuses and a commuter rail line running through it.

Housing in Berkeley Heights
Berkeley Heights was built out largely from the 1950s onward: ranches, split-levels, center-hall colonials and bi-levels, followed by larger colonials and contemporary homes from later decades and newer construction on remaining parcels. Roofs tend to be larger and more complex than in the older eastern towns of the county, with hip sections, multiple gables, skylights and attached garages. Office campuses and commercial buildings carry broad flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Much of the township is heavily wooded, and homes along the edges of the Watchung Reservation and on the slopes sit under tall oaks and other hardwoods that shade roofs, drop leaves into valleys and gutters, and shed limbs in storms. Lower areas near the Passaic River are damp and slow to dry. Snow lingers on shaded north slopes and forms ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles are a steady stress on brick chimneys.
