Morristown at a glance

CountyMorris
Typical homesMorris County gets more snow than towns closer to the coast. Combine that with older attics that have little insulation or ventilation and you get ice dams: snow melts, refreezes at the eaves, and water backs up under the shingles. The fix is on both sides of the roof.

What to know about roofs on Morristown homes

Morristown's homes range from colonial-era houses to Victorian mansions and newer colonials, many under tall, old trees. Snowy Morris County winters are the big issue: the October 2011 snowstorm and the 2016 blizzard showed how ice dams and falling limbs damage roofs and gutters. Good ice and water barrier and attic ventilation matter more here than in most of New Jersey.

Historic details

Older homes have cornices, box gutters and chimneys that need to be preserved, not ripped out.

FAQ

Questions from Morristown homeowners

How do I stop ice dams on my Morristown roof?

Ice dams come from heat escaping into the attic and melting snow unevenly. The long-term fix is ice & water barrier at the eaves, good attic ventilation, and enough insulation. We check all three during your inspection.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing is available on roof replacements and larger projects. Ask about it at your estimate and we will send you the options.

Can you help with a storm damage claim?

We inspect, photograph and document the damage, and we can meet your adjuster. Whether the claim is approved is up to your insurer.

Do you go over the old roof or tear it off?

We tear off every layer down to the decking. That is the only way to find rotted wood and give you a roof that lasts.
