Chester Township Roofs: Highlands Country, 1980s Houses
About 86 percent of Chester Township lies inside the Highlands Preservation Area, and you can see it from any roof here: houses spread out along country roads at around 787 feet, with woods behind them and long driveways in front. The township has 7,713 residents and a census median build year of 1981, which makes it one of the younger housing stocks in the county. Most of those houses went up in the same couple of decades, so roofs in Milldale, Milltown and along the roads toward Hacklebarney tend to come due in clusters.
A 1980s colonial or contemporary here has had more than forty winters, which means it is usually on its second covering, sometimes still its first. We start with the things that age out together: pipe boots and step flashing at second-story walls, skylights from that era, and the ridge and rake edges that take wind on open lots. Then we go into the attic, because bathroom fans vented into the roof space and blocked soffits are common in houses of this vintage and they shorten a shingle’s life from underneath.
Checking us out takes a few minutes. GAF and Owens Corning both list their certified contractors on their own websites; search for Boundless there. The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs lookup will show home improvement registration #13VH10877700. Before work starts we send a certificate of liability coverage, $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.

What Chester Township Roofs Usually Need
Inspection before the whole street re-roofs
When neighbors with houses the same age start replacing roofs, it is natural to wonder whether yours is next. A written roof inspection answers that properly: the condition of the shingles, the flashing and boots, the attic, and the number of layers on the deck. Sometimes the answer is that a few targeted repairs will carry the roof several more years.
Replacing a large, many-gabled roof
Bigger lots brought bigger houses, often with several gables, a garage wing and a porch roof tying in. On a replacement we take it to the deck, renew every flashing rather than reusing it, line the valleys and eaves with ice-and-water membrane, and correct the attic venting so the new shingles are not cooked from below. If a second layer is already on, New Jersey’s R908.3.1 rules out a third, so it all comes off.
Wind damage on open ground
After a strong storm, the calls we get are usually about lifted tabs along a rake, ridge cap torn loose, or a limb dropped from the tree line. Those are roof repairs we can usually match in color and finish in one visit, and a fall check of gutters under the trees keeps the winter quieter.
On permits: the state treats re-covering the roof of a detached one- or two-family home as ordinary maintenance (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7), so a construction permit is normally not required. Attached homes, such as townhouses and condos, are different and do need one. Chester Township’s Construction Department is at 1 Parker Road, 908-879-5100. One local wrinkle: the historic preservation committee people often mention belongs to Chester Borough, a separate municipality, not the township.
Chester Township Roofing FAQ
You are in Rockaway. Is Chester Township too far for a leak call?
No. It is about 17.8 miles, roughly 31 minutes, down Dover-Chester Road (CR 513) south through Dover. The phone, 973-960-7921, is answered around the clock, and on an active leak we come out to cover and dry the roof first, then quote the permanent repair.
Our house is from the 1980s. Has the roof already been replaced once?
Very likely, but not certainly, and it matters. If the first covering was left in place under the second, the next job has to be a full tear-off. Counting the layers at the eave is part of every free estimate we give here.
Around the township we also cover Chester Borough, Mendham Township and Washington Township, along with the rest of Morris County. For a free written estimate, call 973-960-7921 or write to us through the contact page.
