Roofing and chimney work in Rockaway
Rockaway Borough is a small, older town on the Rockaway River, surrounded by Rockaway Township and Denville. It grew in the 1800s around iron forges and the Morris Canal, and its center still has the feel of a 19th-century mill town: a Main Street of two- and three-story commercial buildings, churches with tall roofs and steeples, and residential streets of closely spaced frame houses. I-80 runs along the edge of the borough.

Housing in Rockaway
Rockaway Borough's housing is older than most of the surrounding area. Late-1800s and early-1900s frame houses, including Victorians, gable-front homes and two-family houses, line the streets near the center on small lots. Mid-century capes and ranches fill the outer streets. Main Street has older mixed-use buildings with low-slope roofs, and there are some light-commercial buildings near the highway.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits in the Rockaway River valley, where humidity is higher and low areas near the river are flood-prone. Older trees shade many lots. Winters bring cold, snow and frequent freeze-thaw cycles that affect old brick and roofing, and summer storms bring heavy rain to roofs with aging gutters and flashing.
