Florham Park is a borough of 12,585 people, incorporated in 1899. Its housing has a census median build year of 1984, which is the single most useful thing to know before climbing a ladder in this town. Open water and converted cottages: that is the combination here. Wind comes off the lake at the ridge with nothing to break it, and the houses themselves have more edges and valleys per square foot than a straightforward colonial does.
What a 1980s Housing Stock Means for Florham Park Roofs
The census puts the median Florham Park house at 1984, younger than most of Morris County. That changes the math on a roof. A house from the mid-1980s has usually had its first covering replaced already, so what you are living under now is often the second one. The useful questions are whether that job was a full tear-off or an overlay, and whether anyone fixed the ventilation and flashing while the roof was open.
Our first stop is the attic and the eaves. Roofs of that era were often vented with a few box vents and little soffit intake, which leads to cupped shingles and a hot, damp attic in summer. Then we count layers, and look at the flashing wherever a roof meets a wall, a dormer or a garage. The borough sits at 217 feet with the Passaic River along its eastern edge, and the county hazard plan says flooding here follows heavy rain, so gutter sizing and downspout discharge get a look too.

Florham Park Roof Services
Re-roofing a house on its second covering
When a 1980s house comes due a second time, the deck is often the deciding factor. If an earlier crew went over the original shingles instead of stripping them, there are now two layers, and New Jersey’s residential code (R908.3.1) does not allow a third. The next roof is then a tear-off. With the deck exposed we replace damaged sheathing, install ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, and correct the ventilation. See roof replacement.
Leaks at walls, dormers and skylights
On houses with dormers, an attached garage or a skylight, the leak is usually at the flashing rather than in the open field of shingles. Step flashing behind siding, counter-flashing at a chimney and the rubber boot around a vent pipe are the parts we test and replace. See roof repair and chimney repair.
Inspections when a house changes hands
With housing this age, many roofs are mid-life when a house is sold. A written roof inspection records the layer count, flashing and ventilation, and what we can see of the deck from the attic, so buyer and seller are negotiating over facts rather than guesses.
Keeping a newer roof going
A roof with years left in it still needs the small things done: gutters cleared before winter, cracked pipe boots replaced, missing tabs put back after a windstorm. That is what our roof maintenance visits cover, along with gutter work.
Under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, a straight re-roof on a detached one- or two-family house counts as ordinary maintenance in New Jersey, which is why it generally goes ahead without a construction permit. Attached units such as townhouses and condos are different and need one. The borough’s Building and Code Enforcement office is on the second floor of 111 Ridgedale Avenue, 973-410-5350.
Florham Park Questions
What is the drive from Rockaway to Florham Park?
About 14.6 miles, around 26 minutes: I-80 east and I-287 south, then NJ-10 and the Columbia Turnpike. The office line, 973-960-7921, is answered 24 hours a day, so a leak at night still reaches a person.
My house is from the 1980s. Is the roof original?
Probably not, but it is worth confirming. An asphalt roof from that decade would be well past its expected life, so most have been replaced at least once. What matters is whether the replacement went over the old layer and how the flashing was handled, and we answer both during the free inspection.
Does the Passaic River affect my roof?
Not the shingles. It affects where water goes once it leaves the roof. On lower ground toward the river we make sure gutters are pitched and sized properly and that downspouts empty well away from the foundation.
Neighboring Chatham Borough, Madison and Hanover are on our regular routes too, as is the rest of Morris County. Call 973-960-7921 for a free written estimate, or use our contact page.
