Roofing in Washington Township is something we have done since 2012.

Riverdale and Chatham Borough are on the same run. Most of what we are called out for here starts at the ridge and the rakes. We do roof repair, roof replacement, roof installation, roof maintenance and roof inspection, and the chimney repair and gutter work that go with them.

Washington Township Roofers, About 32 Minutes From Rockaway
Washington Township became a township in 1798 and had 18,197 residents at the 2020 census. The census puts the median build year of its housing at 1979, and that number tells us more about what we will find on a roof here than the address does. Elevation is the thing to know about roofing here: 988 ft, with the Schooley’s Mountain ridge topping 1,200 ft and standing about 600 ft above the valley. Snow load and wind both come with it, and both act on the edges and the ridge rather than in the middle of a slope. Geographically, Washington Township is at 988 ft, with the Schooley’s Mountain ridge topping 1,200 ft and standing about 600 ft above the valley. Long Valley, Schooley’s Mountain and German Valley are sections of it, and there are others. The landmark most people know it by is the German Valley Historic District in Long Valley, 69 acres, on the National Register since 1983. There is also the Flocktown Schoolhouse, listed in 1982. That is the town; below is what its roofs are like.
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 We Find on Washington Township Roofs
The valley was settled from Saxony in the 1700s and called German Valley until the name was changed to Long Valley around 1917. The housing is mostly late twentieth century – a median build year of 1979 – wrapped around an eighteenth-century core, and the ridge takes wind and snow load the valley towns do not.

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 Building and Construction Department, 43 Schooley’s Mountain Road, Long Valley, on 908-876-4711. Washington Township has the strongest historic review of any town we cover: its Historic Preservation Commission oversees changes to existing properties and new construction in three historic districts and several individual sites, and the township’s own building page lists roofing among the work that needs a permit.

Washington Township Roof Repair, Replacement and Inspection
These are the jobs we are called out for in Washington Township and what each one involves here.
- Roof Repair: We repair what is leaking rather than what is easiest to reach. In Washington Township that usually means cap shingles off the ridge and a rake edge that has worked loose – 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 Washington Township, 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 1979 in Washington Township, 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 Washington Township 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 Washington Township and after any storm. See roof inspection.
Why People in Washington Township Call Us
- Experienced Roofers: We work in Washington Township – Long Valley and Schooley’s Mountain included often enough to know what is under the shingles: the census median build year here is 1979, 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 Estimates: 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 Washington Township 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: Washington Township is about 32 minutes from Rockaway via US-46 west to Dover, CR 513 south, then CR 517 into Long Valley. 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day, every day, from Rockaway and Flanders.

Washington Township Roofing Questions We Are Asked
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Washington Township?
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 Building and Construction Department, 43 Schooley’s Mountain Road, Long Valley, on 908-876-4711.
How quickly can you get to Washington Township?
It is about 19.8 miles from Rockaway, roughly 32 minutes via US-46 west to Dover, CR 513 south, then CR 517 into Long Valley. 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 Washington Township?
The limit is two. R908.3.1 of the New Jersey Residential Code rules out a recover on a roof that is already carrying two coverings, and requires a replacement to take everything off to the deck. It is worth asking any contractor how many are up there before you compare prices.
Does the elevation in Washington Township change how a roof should be built?
It changes the details rather than the materials. At 988 ft, with the Schooley’s Mountain ridge topping 1,200 ft and standing about 600 ft above the valley we want a starter course at the rakes as well as the eaves, ridge cap fastened to the manufacturer’s high-wind pattern, and ice-and-water membrane far enough up the slope to cover where snow actually sits. None of that is exotic; it is just not what gets done by default.
If your question is not on the list, 973-960-7921 is answered 24 hours a day.
