Roofing and chimney work in New Providence
New Providence is a residential borough on high ground just west of Summit, filled mostly with colonials, split-levels, bi-levels and ranches from the post-war decades, many of them enlarged since with second stories and rear additions. The Murray Hill section is home to a large corporate research campus long associated with Bell Labs, and the borough's small downtown and office buildings add flat roofs to an otherwise pitched-roof town.

Housing in New Providence
Most of New Providence was built out from the late 1940s through the 1960s with center-hall colonials, split-levels, bi-levels and ranches on suburban lots. A large share have since been expanded with full second stories, dormers or rear family-room additions, so many roofs combine original and newer sections. Townhouse and condominium complexes, a compact downtown of low commercial buildings and office and research buildings in Murray Hill carry flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits on elevated ground between the Watchung ridges, more open to wind than the lowland towns to the east, with mature shade trees over most streets. Nor'easters drive rain against the weather side of two-story colonials, north eaves form ice dams in cold stretches, and leaves and seed pods collect in the valleys created by additions. Freeze-thaw works on exterior brick chimneys built on gable end walls.
