Many of Plainfield's grand homes were built between the 1870s and the 1920s, with steep roofs, turrets, dormers and often original slate. More valleys and joints mean more places for water to get in, especially in wind-driven rain. Hurricane Sandy brought big trees down onto roofs and porches here in 2012, and Ida flooded parts of the city in 2021.
Plainfield is in our home county, and Herts Roofing & Construction knows its Victorian and Queen Anne homes well. Turrets, steep valleys, tall chimneys and original slate take hand-work and patience. We check whether slate can be repaired before recommending anything more, and we match trim, siding and porch details so the house keeps its character. Our Cranford office is just down the road. Book a free inspection.
Victorian roofs have many planes, valleys, dormers and chimneys, and every one of those is a place water can get in. Some homes still have slate that just needs repairs. Others were re-roofed with asphalt years ago and now need full replacement with proper flashing at every wall and valley.
Round and multi-sided roof sections need hand-cut shingles and careful valley work.
Slate can often be repaired. We replace broken pieces and failed flashing before recommending anything more.
Older homes have tall masonry chimneys that need new flashing and crickets to shed water.
Check anything you've noticed. Stay off the roof, and look from the ground.
If you don't see any of these, your roof probably came through fine. When in doubt, a free inspection settles it.
