Roofing and chimney work in Scotch Plains
Scotch Plains is a township that climbs from flat lowland in the south up the face of the first Watchung Mountain in the north, where it borders the Watchung Reservation. The lower sections are filled with post-war split-levels, capes, ranches and colonials, the older village center has some historic buildings, and the wooded hillside holds larger homes on sloping lots with heavy tree cover.

Housing in Scotch Plains
Scotch Plains spans a wide range of housing. The lower, flatter parts of the township have 1950s through 1970s split-levels, ranches, capes and colonials. The hillside along the Watchung ridge has larger homes, many from the 1960s onward, including contemporaries with low-slope sections, skylights and large fireplaces, on wooded and sloping lots. Some older homes stand near the historic village center, and commercial strips carry flat-roofed buildings.
Weather and exposure
The hillside homes sit under heavy deciduous and evergreen canopy, which brings deep shade, moss, constant leaf and needle debris and the risk of falling limbs in storms. The ridge face catches more wind than the lowlands. Shaded north slopes hold snow and form ice dams, and steep driveways and lots complicate access. Lower sections are more open but still well treed.
