Roofing and chimney work in Sussex
Sussex is a small borough in northern Sussex County, entirely surrounded by Wantage Township. Its compact center along Main Street has 19th- and early-20th-century commercial buildings, many with apartments upstairs, and the side streets hold older homes built close together. Papakating Creek runs nearby, and farmland and the hills of Wantage surround the borough on all sides.

Housing in Sussex
The borough's building stock is older and denser than the surrounding countryside: mixed-use buildings on Main Street with flat or low-slope roofs behind parapets, and 19th- and early-20th-century houses on small lots, many with steep gables, porches and brick chimneys. Some larger houses have been divided into apartments. Asphalt shingle covers most homes, with flat membranes on commercial roofs.
Weather and exposure
Sussex shares northern Sussex County's heavy snow and long winters. Flat commercial roofs must drain under snow and meltwater, while closely spaced older houses shade one another and shed snow onto porches and neighboring yards. Mature street trees drop limbs and leaves, and open farmland around the borough lets storm winds reach it with little shelter.
