Roofing and chimney work in Vernon
Vernon Township occupies the far northern corner of Sussex County, where the terrain climbs toward the Mountain Creek ski area and the ridgelines along the New York border. It is a township of wooded lots, lake communities such as Highland Lakes, and homes that were built as ski or summer getaways and have since become primary residences. The climate is the harshest in North Jersey: heavy snow loads, long winters and a freeze-thaw season that runs for months.

We are licensed and insured, based in Cliffside Park in Bergen County, and we serve all of North New Jersey.

Housing in Vernon
Vernon's homes range from lakeside cottages and A-frames built as vacation properties to 1970s through 2000s colonials, raised ranches and contemporaries on wooded lots. Many were converted from seasonal to year-round use, which means roofs and chimneys built for light duty now face full winters. Asphalt shingle roofs are the norm, with some metal on newer and rural homes.
Weather and exposure
Vernon's elevation and northern position bring the heaviest snow loads in the region and the longest freeze-thaw season. Roofs carry deep snow for weeks, ice dams form readily, and wind sweeps across ridges and open lake surfaces. Dense tree cover keeps shaded roofs damp and fills gutters, while summer thunderstorms add wind and limb damage.
