Lake Cottages to 1970s Colonials: Montville’s Mixed Roofs
Few towns we cover have housing as mixed as Montville’s. Lake Valhalla grew up in the 1920s around a 50-acre spring-fed lake, and some of its original cottages are still there, many enlarged two or three times since. Towaco and much of the rest of the township filled in later; the census median build year is 1979. Down at Pine Brook, where the Rockaway River joins the Passaic, Montville sits at about 279 feet, among the lowest ground in the county.
What we look at first depends on the house. On an extended lake cottage it is every point where an addition meets the original roof: wall abutments, valleys that were never planned, and short sections of flashing tucked under old siding. These houses have more edges and valleys per square foot than a plain colonial, so we measure each roof plane separately. On the 1970s and 1980s colonials it is the ridge vents, plumbing boots and how many layers are on. Near Pine Brook we check gutter capacity, since FEMA lists Montville among the towns the Passaic floods.
A quick way to check us: our GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred status appear in both manufacturers’ contractor directories. The NJ Division of Consumer Affairs license search confirms home improvement registration 13VH10877700, and we email our liability certificate ($1M each occurrence, $2M aggregate) before work is scheduled.

How We Handle Montville Roofing Jobs
Leaks where an addition meets the old roof
Most leaks on an expanded Lake Valhalla or Towaco house start where two building periods meet. Often the original flashing was never carried over to the addition, or a dormer was framed in with cement standing in for metal. We open up the joint, put in step and counterflashing that overlap correctly, and tie the new work into the existing shingles. See roof repairs.
Re-roofing a house with many planes
A cottage enlarged over the decades may have twice as many valleys as a colonial with the same footprint. Our estimates are built plane by plane: each valley lined with ice-and-water membrane, each wall joint reflashed, and a ridge-vent layout that matches the actual attic spaces. Open water nearby also sends wind at the ridge unobstructed, so the ridge is fastened accordingly. For colonials from the late 1970s, a one- or two-layer tear-off is the usual starting point. See roof replacement.
Gutters on the low ground near Pine Brook
The county plan places 457 Montville residents inside the 1% annual-chance floodplain. A roof cannot stop river flooding, but gutters and downspouts decide whether rain from the roof ends up next to your foundation. We size and pitch gutters for a heavy storm and run the outlets well clear of the house. See gutters.
Montville and permits: the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7) treats re-covering a detached one- or two-family home as ordinary maintenance, so a construction permit is not normally required, although attached homes such as townhouses and condominiums do need one. The Department of Construction and Inspections is at 195 Changebridge Road, 973-331-3318. The township’s Historic Preservation Commission meets at the same address. Houses like the Henry Doremus House and the Davenport-Demarest House are on the National Register, so if yours is an older house, ask whether the commission has any interest before you change its appearance.
Montville Roofing Q&A
How far are you from Towaco and Pine Brook?
Our office at 9 Stony Brook Road, Rockaway, is about 12.6 miles away, or about 20 minutes taking I-80 east and then Beverwyck Road and Vail Road. We answer 973-960-7921 24 hours a day; for an active leak we make the house safe first and discuss the full repair afterward.
Why does my lake cottage cost more to re-roof than my neighbor’s colonial?
Because of its shape, not its size. Each valley, wall joint and change in pitch needs flashing and labor that a simple gable roof does not. We show those items line by line so you can see where the difference comes from.
Our nearby service areas include Boonton Township, Lincoln Park and Parsippany-Troy Hills, along with the rest of Morris County. For a free, itemized estimate in Montville, phone 973-960-7921 or use our contact page.
