Roofers in Morristown, NJ | Reliable Morristown Roof Repair & Installation
Since 2012 we have repaired and replaced roofs in Morristown.

Chester Borough and East Hanover are on the same run. Some addresses here need more than a construction permit before the crew arrives. We do roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, roof maintenance and roof inspection, and the chimney repair and gutter work that go with them.

Morristown Roofers, About 21 Minutes From Rockaway
Morristown is a town of 20,180 people, incorporated in 1865. The census puts the median build year of its housing at 1970, and that number tells us more about what we will find on a roof here than the address does. Before anything is ordered here, one question has to be settled: whether the address is inside a district with exterior review. Morristown’s seven-member Historic Preservation Commission meets on the second Thursday of the month and reports to the Planning Board and Board of Adjustment under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-110 and 111. Morristown sits at 315 ft, hilly and almost entirely built over. Little Dublin, the Speedwell Avenue corridor and the Green are sections of it, and there are others. If you know one building here it is probably Morristown National Historical Park, the first national historical park in the United States, with the Ford Mansion and Jockey Hollow. There is also the Speedwell Ironworks, a National Historic Landmark. None of that puts a roof on, but it is what tells you we have actually been here.
None of the following needs taking on trust. #13VH10877700 on the state contractor register. GAF Certified and Owens Corning Preferred, both verifiable on the manufacturers’ sites. BBB Accredited A+. General liability $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate, certificate before work starts. 5.0 from 99 Google reviews with our replies on them. 973-960-7921 answers 24 hours a day.
What Morristown Roofs Actually Deal With
Morristown’s flood story is runoff, not river. The county hazard plan calls it a highly developed urban community where buildings and paving cover most of the land, so there is little left to absorb rain and the hilly ground speeds the runoff up. Whippany River flooding recurred about every ten years until the 1950s and then almost annually through the 1970s. On a town like this the gutters, the downspouts and where the water goes when it leaves them matter as much as the shingles.

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 office to ask is the Division of Building and Uniform Construction Code, 200 South Street, second floor, on 973-292-6712.
If your roof is in Morristown and you want it looked at by someone who already knows the answers to that, call 973-960-7921.

Roofing Work We Do in Morristown, NJ
These are the jobs we are called out for in Morristown and what each one involves here.
- Roof Repair: We repair what is leaking rather than what is easiest to reach. In Morristown that usually means flashing and detailing that has to match what is already there – not the field of the roof. Emergency call-outs 24 hours a day on 973-960-7921. See roof repair.
- Roof Installation: New roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and new builds in Morristown, built as a system: ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, starter course, GAF or Owens Corning shingles, new flashing and a vented ridge. See roof installation.
- Roof Replacement: Full tear-off to the deck, the deck inspected and soft sheets replaced at a rate agreed before we start. With a median build year of 1970 in Morristown, we check how many layers are already up there before quoting, because that decides whether it is a recover or a strip. See roof replacement.
- Roof Maintenance: Two visits a year – the spring one finds what the winter did, the autumn one clears the gutters and checks the flashing before the first freeze. On Morristown roofs the autumn visit is the one that matters most. See roof maintenance and gutter cleaning.
- Roof Inspection: Shingles, flashing, valleys, eaves and the attic, with the layers already on the deck counted and the whole thing written down. Worth doing before you buy a house in Morristown and after any storm. See roof inspection.
What Morristown Customers Get
- Experienced Roofers: We work in Morristown – Little Dublin and the Speedwell Avenue corridor included often enough to know what is under the shingles: the census median build year here is 1970, and roofs of that age carry their own list of problems. More than 1,000 projects since 2012.
- Licensed and Insured: Registration #13VH10877700 is active on the New Jersey state register and our general liability runs to $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Ask for the certificate and you get it before anyone gets on the roof.
- Free Roofing Estimate: Written and itemised, so you can compare it line by line: tear-off and disposal, the deck-repair rate per sheet, ice-and-water membrane, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and clean-up. We also tell you how many layers are already on your Morristown roof, because under R908.3.1 that decides whether a recover is even legal.
- Expert Roofing Solutions: GAF Certified Contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, so the manufacturer system warranty is available on your roof rather than a materials-only one. BBB Accredited A+. 5.0 from 99 Google reviews with our replies visible on them.
- 24/7 Emergency Roofing: Morristown is about 21 minutes from Rockaway via I-80 east, I-287 south, then NJ-124 down Madison Avenue. 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day, every day, from Rockaway and Flanders.

Morristown Roofing Questions We Are Asked
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Morristown?
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 office to ask is the Division of Building and Uniform Construction Code, 200 South Street, second floor, on 973-292-6712.
How quickly can you get to Morristown?
It is about 13.5 miles from Rockaway, roughly 21 minutes via I-80 east, I-287 south, then NJ-124 down Madison Avenue. 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day, every day. For an active leak we come out, make it safe and dry, and talk about the permanent repair afterwards.
How many layers of roofing are allowed in Morristown?
Two, and no more. Under New Jersey Residential Code R908.3.1 a recover is not permitted where the existing roof already has two applications of covering, and a roof replacement must strip back to the deck. If you already have two, a tear-off is the only lawful route.
Will the historic rules in Morristown slow my roof down?
Only if nobody checks until the week of the job. Morristown’s seven-member Historic Preservation Commission meets on the second Thursday of the month and reports to the Planning Board and Board of Adjustment under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-110 and 111. We check at the estimate stage, which is when it costs nothing.
If your question is not on the list, 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day.
