Roofing and chimney work in Mendham
Mendham Borough is a small, historic crossroads village in the hills west of Morristown, surrounded by Mendham Township. Its center along Main Street (Route 24) is lined with colonial-era and 19th-century buildings, including the well-known Black Horse Tavern, and the residential streets around it mix older homes with mid-century and later houses on wooded lots. Most of the commercial buildings in the village center are converted houses and older pitched-roof structures rather than flat-roofed blocks.

Housing in Mendham
Mendham Borough's historic core holds 18th- and 19th-century homes and village buildings, including colonials, Federal and Victorian houses, with steep roofs and masonry chimneys. Surrounding streets have early-20th-century homes, postwar capes and colonials, and larger houses from the later 1900s. Asphalt shingle is most common, with cedar, slate and metal roofs on some older or higher-end homes.
Weather and exposure
Mendham sits at higher elevation than Morristown, with cold, snowy winters and frequent freeze-thaw cycles that are hard on old masonry. Mature trees shade most of the village. Homes on the surrounding hills take more wind, and nor'easters push wind-driven rain into the flashing of older roofs.
