Roofing and chimney work in Morristown
Morristown is the Morris County seat and one of the most architecturally varied places we work. Within a short walk of the Green there are colonial-era and Victorian homes with steep rooflines, dormers and multiple brick chimneys, while the downtown core has added condominiums and newer mixed-use buildings with flat and low-slope roofs. Mature street trees shade most of the residential grid.
Asset Roofing & Chimney provides roof repair, roof replacement and chimney repair throughout Morristown. We are based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County and serve all of North New Jersey, so a trip to Morristown is routine for us. Estimates are free, and we are licensed and insured for residential and commercial work.
Housing in Morristown
Morristown's housing runs from 18th- and 19th-century homes around the Green and the older residential streets, to early-1900s two-and-a-half-story houses, mid-century capes and colonials farther from downtown, and a growing stock of condominiums and apartment buildings in the center. Asphalt shingle is the most common covering, with slate, cedar and metal still present on some older or higher-end homes.
Weather and exposure
Morristown sits inland at higher elevation than the Hudson riverfront, so winters bring more snow and more freeze-thaw cycles. Heavy tree canopy drops leaves, seed pods and branches onto roofs and into gutters through much of the year. Summer thunderstorms and nor'easters push wind-driven rain into old flashing, dormer sidewalls and weathered chimney crowns.
