Morristown at a glance
| County | Morris |

| Typical homes | Morris 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.
Herts Roofing & Construction builds Morristown roofs for Morris County winters. We install ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys, check attic insulation and ventilation to stop ice dams at the source, and size gutters for heavy snowmelt and falling leaves. On older homes near the Green we protect original cornices and chimneys. Our crews also handle siding and decks. Book a free inspection.
Snow, trees and older homes
Ice dams
We install ice & water barrier at eaves and valleys and correct attic ventilation so snow melts evenly.
Gutter overload
Mature trees fill gutters fast. We size gutters correctly and add guards where it makes sense.
Historic details
Older homes have cornices, box gutters and chimneys that need to be preserved, not ripped out.
How old is your roof?
Type a year to see where your roof likely stands. Most asphalt shingle roofs last about 20 to 30 years.

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.
