Roofing and chimney work in Fanwood
Fanwood is a small, almost entirely residential borough in western Union County, bordered mostly by Scotch Plains and by Plainfield, and built around a station on the Raritan Valley commuter rail line. Its streets hold a mix of late-1800s and early-1900s houses near the station and later colonials, capes, ranches and split-levels farther out, under a mature tree canopy.

Housing in Fanwood
Fanwood's housing ranges from Victorian and early-twentieth-century homes with steep roofs, porches and older brick chimneys, mostly in the blocks nearer the rail line, to 1920s through 1960s colonials, capes and ranches and later split-levels across the rest of the borough. Single-family homes dominate, with a small commercial area near the station carrying flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Fanwood is relatively flat and well treed, so shade, leaf fall and damp roof surfaces are the main exposure factors rather than wind. Shaded north slopes hold snow and form ice dams. Nor'easters bring wind-driven rain that tests flashing on older homes, and summer storms drop limbs. Freeze-thaw cycles steadily work on brick chimneys, particularly the older ones.
