Roof Replacement for Montville homes and buildings
Many Montville homes built in the 1980s and 1990s are now on their first or second roof replacement. These large homes have complex rooflines with long valleys, multiple gables, skylights and sometimes cathedral ceilings, and a replacement is the right time to correct flashing, add kick-outs and replace aging skylights.
Asset Roofing & Chimney replaces asphalt shingle roofs with architectural shingles and replaces commercial flat roofs with membrane systems, including tapered insulation, new drains and reflashed rooftop equipment.
Montville housing
Montville's housing includes a small number of older homes, some dating to the township's farming era, alongside postwar capes, ranches and split-levels and a large stock of colonials and custom homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s. Many of the later homes are large, with multiple gables, two-story foyers, skylights and attached garages. Pine Brook and the highway corridors have commercial and light industrial buildings with flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather & exposure
The northern part of Montville is hilly and heavily wooded, with homes on slopes and ridges exposed to wind and under heavy tree cover. The southern part is lower and flatter, closer to the river lowlands. Winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycles, and summer storms bring heavy rain that tests flat-roof drainage on commercial buildings.
When replacement is the right call in Montville
Replace when shingles are curling, brittle or losing granules broadly, when leaks appear in multiple places, or when the roof has two layers. On a large home, a full replacement is also the time to fix ventilation and add missing kick-out flashing.
Our replacements include tear-off, deck repair, ice-and-water membrane, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, architectural shingles and ridge ventilation. Large homes take two or more days. For commercial roofs, we assess moisture and drainage before recommending a system.
