Roofing and chimney work in Maplewood
Maplewood sits on the eastern side of South Mountain Reservation, with its village center clustered around the train station on the NJ Transit line to New York. Most of its homes were built in the early decades of the 20th century: center-hall colonials, Dutch colonials, Tudors, Victorians and stucco houses on tree-lined streets that rise toward the mountain on the west side of town.

Housing in Maplewood
Maplewood's housing stock is predominantly early 20th century, with colonials, Dutch colonials with gambrel roofs, Tudors, Victorians and stucco homes on modest to generous lots. Many have dormers, sleeping porches converted to living space and brick chimneys serving a fireplace and a heating system. Some older homes still carry slate. The village center and other commercial areas have older two- and three-story buildings with flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
Homes on the west side of Maplewood climb toward South Mountain, where wooded slopes put mature trees over many roofs and the higher streets catch more westerly wind. Lower areas to the east are flatter and more sheltered. Throughout town, heavy canopy keeps roofs shaded and damp, fills gutters and valleys and contributes to ice dams on north slopes in cold stretches.
