Roofing and chimney work in Andover
Andover is a small borough set inside Andover Township, a few miles south of Newton where Route 206 runs through an old crossroads village. Its center is a short stretch of 19th-century and early-1900s buildings, many of them houses that were later turned into shops and offices, with older homes on the side streets behind them. It is one of the more compact places in the county, and most of its roofs and chimneys are a good deal older than those in the surrounding township.

Housing in Andover
Andover's housing is mostly older village stock: 19th-century and early-1900s farmhouse-style homes, gabled houses with porches, and buildings along Route 206 that mix residential and commercial use. Many have steep gable roofs with asphalt shingles laid over older roofs, low-slope porch and rear-addition roofs, and brick chimneys that predate modern liners. Some later homes sit at the edges of the borough.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits in the valley along Route 206 rather than on an exposed ridge, so its roofs are somewhat sheltered from wind, but it shares Sussex County's cold winters, heavy snow and long freeze-thaw season. Mature trees overhang many older lots, and road spray and salt along the highway corridor add wear to buildings close to the road.
