Long Hill Roofers | Affordable Roofing Services in Long Hill, NJ
Boundless has worked on Long Hill roofs since 2012. We work out of 9 Stony Brook Road in Rockaway – about 23.9 miles and 40 minutes away via I-80 east to I-287 south toward Basking Ridge – and a second office in Flanders. Chatham Township and Butler are on the same run. A lot of roofs here are reaching the end of their original covering at the same time. We do roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, roof maintenance and roof inspection, and the chimney repair and gutter work that go with them.

Stirling, Gillette and Millington: Roofs Beside the Great Swamp
Long Hill runs along the Passaic River on its southern and western sides, with the Great Swamp refuge on its border. The county hazard plan singles out Stirling: the low, swampy land beside the Passaic and its tributaries raises the flood risk there, and Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 did more property damage than any storm in recent memory. Damp ground and heavy tree cover keep roofs wet longer, which means moss on shaded slopes and gutters that fill with debris quickly.
Most of the housing is from the late 1960s; the census median is 1969. Many of those houses are coming to the end of their first full covering about now, and the original flashing is wearing out at the same rate as the shingles. When we inspect a Long Hill roof we look at the valleys and the flashing at walls and chimneys before anything else, then go into the attic, where poor ventilation and a damp setting together can leave mildew on the underside of the deck.
Every one of our credentials can be checked. The GAF and Owens Corning websites each have a contractor finder that lists us. The state Division of Consumer Affairs shows our home improvement contractor registration, 13VH10877700. And the insurance certificate, with $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate in liability cover, is in your hands before the first shingle comes off.

Roof Services for Long Hill Township
Inspection first, especially after a big storm
Since we are a longer drive from Long Hill than from most of our towns, we try to make the first visit count. A full roof inspection covers the shingles, valleys, flashing, gutters and attic, with photos and a written summary, so you can decide between repair and replacement without a second trip. After a storm like Irene, that report is also what an insurance adjuster will ask to see.
Replacing a 1960s roof and its flashing together
Putting new shingles against fifty-year-old step flashing is false economy. On a Long Hill replacement we tear off to the deck, replace any soft boards at the per-sheet rate shown in the estimate, put in new flashing at every wall and chimney, and add ice-and-water membrane in the valleys, where wet leaves sit longest. If the house already has two layers, state code R908.3.1 requires a full tear-off in any case. See roof replacement and chimney repair.
Gutters under heavy tree cover
Gutters near the swamp’s edge fill fast. Once they overflow, water runs behind the fascia and rots the bottom edge of the deck. We clean and re-pitch existing gutters, replace sections that have pulled loose, and can add guards where the tree canopy makes cleaning a constant job. See gutters.
About permits: under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, part of the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house is ordinary maintenance and normally needs no construction permit, while townhouses and condominiums do need one. Long Hill’s zoning and construction office is in the Township Offices at 915 Valley Road, Gillette, on 908-647-8000 (extension 217). The township has a Historic Preservation Advisory Committee, but it advises the Planning Board and Township Committee and does not review exterior work.
Common Questions in Long Hill
You’re 40 minutes away. Is that a problem?
It is the longest drive of any town we cover, about 23.9 miles via I-80 east and I-287 south toward Basking Ridge, and we would rather say so up front. The phone, 973-960-7921, is still answered around the clock, and we plan visits so the inspection and the estimate happen in one trip.
There’s green growth on my north slope. Is the roof failing?
Not necessarily. Moss and algae thrive on shaded, damp slopes like many in Long Hill. Algae streaking is mostly cosmetic. Thick moss is more serious, because it holds water against the shingles and lifts their edges. We will tell you which one you have and whether cleaning and trimming back branches is enough.
Was this Passaic Township?
Yes. The township was called Passaic Township until a 1992 referendum changed the name to Long Hill, so older deeds and surveys may show the old name.
Neighboring towns we serve include Chatham Township and Harding; see the full Morris County list for more. To arrange a free inspection and written estimate in Long Hill, call 973-960-7921 or reach us through the contact page.
