Roofing and chimney work in Cedar Grove
Cedar Grove lies on the western slope of the First Watchung Mountain, with Mills Reservation along the ridge on its eastern side and Route 23 running through the township. Most of its homes were built in the post-war decades: ranches, split-levels, capes and colonials on suburban lots, many on streets that climb toward the ridge. Newer townhouse and condominium developments and commercial buildings along Route 23 round out the building stock.

Housing in Cedar Grove
Cedar Grove is largely a post-war township. Ranches, split-levels, bi-levels, capes and center-hall colonials from the 1950s and 1960s make up most of the housing, typically with brick chimneys serving a fireplace and a furnace. Newer townhouse and condominium communities have long, connected roofs with many units under one system. Commercial and light industrial buildings along Route 23 have flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
Homes on the upper streets toward the First Watchung ridge sit higher and take more westerly wind than those lower in the valley, and wooded slopes near Mills Reservation put mature trees over many roofs. That combination means wind-lifted shingles on exposed homes, branch and debris damage after storms and shaded north slopes where snow lingers and ice dams form.
