Roofers in Morris County, NJ

Professional Roofing Contractor in Morris County

Morris County is not one roofing problem. Dover has 7.7% of its residents inside the 1% annual-chance floodplain and Pequannock 18.3%, while Chester Borough, Mine Hill, Morristown, Netcong and Mountain Lakes have effectively none. Mount Arlington sits at 1,079 feet and Jefferson at 1,142; Lincoln Park is at 180. The census median build year runs from 1949 in Mountain Lakes to 1996 in Riverdale. A roof quote that does not change across that range is a quote written from a template.

Our Roofing Services in Morris County

Five things, and the same five in every one of the 39 towns.

Roofing Inspection

We look at the shingles, the flashing, the valleys, the eaves and the attic, and we count how many layers are already on the deck – which decides whether your next job is a recover or a strip, because New Jersey Residential Code R908.3.1 does not allow a recover over two existing layers. The report is written. See roof inspection.

Roof Repairs

Most leaks in this county are not in the field of the roof. They are step flashing at a wall, counter flashing at the chimney, a split pipe boot or a valley that has stopped moving water. We find the source before we quote the repair, and 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day for the ones that cannot wait. See roof repair.

Roof Replacement

Tear-off to the deck, the deck inspected and soft sheets replaced at a rate agreed before we start, then ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, starter course, GAF or Owens Corning shingles, new flashing at every wall and chimney, and a vented ridge. Most Morris County houses are a one-day job; a cut-up roof with several dormers is two. See roof replacement.

Roof Installation

New roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and new builds, built as a system so the manufacturer warranty applies to the assembly and not just the shingles. That warranty is only available through a certified installer, which is the practical reason the GAF and Owens Corning certifications matter. See roof installation.

Roof Maintenance Services

Two visits a year works in this climate: the spring one finds what the freeze-thaw did, the autumn one clears the gutters and checks the flashing before the first freeze. A gutter that is still full in January is the commonest cause of the ice dams we are called out to across the county. See roof maintenance and gutter cleaning.

Why Choose Us? | Expert Roofing Services in Morris County

Quality Materials and Workmanship

GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Both manufacturers publish their own contractor directories, so that is checkable in a minute without asking us. What it buys you is a system warranty rather than a materials-only one – and system warranties are void where the attic ventilation is inadequate, which is why we look at intake and exhaust on every job.

Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed

Our Google rating is 5.0 from 99 reviews, with our replies visible on them – read the reviews rather than the number. Estimates are free, written and itemised: tear-off and disposal, the deck-repair rate per sheet, membrane, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and clean-up, so you can hold ours next to anyone else’s line by line.

Morris County Roofing Questions

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Morris County?

Under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7(c)1x, replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house in New Jersey counts as ordinary maintenance, so no construction permit is needed. Attached homes – townhouses and condominiums – are not covered by that exemption and do need one. The permit, where one is needed, comes from your own municipality – all 39 have their own construction office, and each town page here names it.

How many layers of roofing does New Jersey allow?

Two. New Jersey Residential Code R908.3.1 forbids a recover over a roof that already carries two applications of roof covering, and a replacement has to come off down to the deck. A quote for a third layer is a quote to break the code.

Which Morris County towns do you cover?

All 39 municipalities, listed above. Our offices are in Rockaway and Flanders, so nothing in the county is more than about 40 minutes away; Long Hill is the furthest at roughly 40 minutes and Rockaway Township and Rockaway Borough are two minutes and three minutes. Each town page gives its own distance and route.

Do any Morris County towns need historic approval for a roof?

A few, and it is worth checking before anything is ordered. Mendham Borough requires a certificate of appropriateness for visible exterior work inside its historic district, Madison requires a Certificate of Historic Review, and Roxbury’s Historic Advisory Committee reviews building permits in the Main Street and Succasunna districts. Boonton, Chatham Borough, Chester Borough, Dover, Washington Township, Morris Township, Morristown, Montville, Mount Olive, Pequannock, Harding and Mountain Lakes all have a commission or committee of some kind; several are advisory only. Each town page says which.
