Roofing and chimney work in Ogdensburg
Ogdensburg is a small borough in the Wallkill River valley of eastern Sussex County, best known for its zinc-mining history and the Sterling Hill Mining Museum on the site of the former mine. Its compact center grew up around the mine, and many homes date from the late 1800s and early 1900s, set close together on modest lots along hilly streets, with later postwar houses at the edges.

Housing in Ogdensburg
Ogdensburg's older core consists of modest late-1800s and early-1900s houses from the mining era, many with steep gable roofs, small porches and brick chimneys, built close together on small lots. Postwar capes, ranches and split-levels fill in around them. Asphalt shingle is the standard roof, and porch and rear additions often have low-slope sections.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits in a valley ringed by Highlands ridges, so snow is heavy and cold air settles on winter nights. Close spacing between older houses means roofs shade one another and snow can slide from one roof toward a neighbor's yard or driveway. Mature trees along the streets and hillsides add debris and limb risk in storms.
