Roofing and chimney work in Chatham Township
Chatham Township lies just south of Chatham Borough and shares its name, but it is a very different place to look at a roof. Instead of a dense grid of early-1900s homes, the township has curving streets, larger wooded lots and housing built mostly from the mid-20th century onward. Its southern side reaches into the area of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, and the Passaic River forms its boundary with Union County.

Housing in Chatham Township
Chatham Township is primarily single-family homes on larger lots: mid-century ranches, capes and split-levels, center-hall colonials from the 1960s through the 1980s, and larger custom and rebuilt homes from later decades, many with multiple gables, dormers and two or more chimneys. Townhouse and condominium communities add attached housing with shared roofs. Some older country homes remain from before the township was built out.
Weather and exposure
The township is heavily wooded, and the low-lying land near the Great Swamp and the Passaic River holds moisture and morning fog. Roofs under tall oaks and maples stay shaded and damp, which favors moss and algae, and leaf drop is heavy every fall. Winters bring the snow and freeze-thaw cycles typical of Morris County, and summer thunderstorms bring down limbs across the wooded neighborhoods.
