Roofing and chimney work in Rahway
Rahway is a small city in southern Union County with the Rahway River running through its center and a rail station on the Northeast Corridor. Its downtown of older masonry commercial buildings has been reshaped around an arts district anchored by the Union County Performing Arts Center, with newer apartment buildings nearby, while the surrounding streets are lined with older single-family homes, two-families and post-war capes. A large pharmaceutical campus sits on the edge of the city.

Housing in Rahway
Rahway's older neighborhoods near downtown hold late-1800s and early-1900s Victorians, foursquares and two-families, many with rear additions on low-slope roofs. Further out are 1920s to 1950s colonials, capes and bungalows, and post-war capes and ranches on the edges. Downtown has two- and three-story brick commercial buildings with flat roofs behind parapets, and newer mid-rise apartment buildings; industrial and commercial buildings add large flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
Rahway is low and fairly flat, closer to the coast than the county's western towns, so nor'easters bring sustained wind-driven rain. The Rahway River has flooded low-lying sections after major storms, which affects basements and chimney bases more than roofs. Mature trees shade older streets, and freeze-thaw works on downtown parapets and the brick chimneys of older homes.
