Roofing and chimney work in Mountainside
Mountainside is a residential borough on the slope of the Watchung Mountains, bordering the Watchung Reservation, the large county park of woods, trails and streams that it shares with neighboring towns. Route 22 runs through the borough with commercial buildings along it, while the residential streets climb toward the reservation with homes on wooded, often sloping lots.

Housing in Mountainside
Mountainside's housing is mostly post-war and later: colonials, ranches, split-levels and contemporaries on larger lots than in the towns to the east, many with attached garages and later additions, plus newer homes on remaining parcels. Roofs tend to be larger, with hips, multiple gables and skylights. The Route 22 corridor carries retail, office and service buildings with flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Homes on the Watchung slope and along the reservation sit under tall hardwoods, so shade, leaf fall, moss and falling limbs are constant concerns. The higher elevations see more wind than the flat towns below, and storms that come over the ridge can be gusty. Snow lingers on shaded north slopes and causes ice dams. Wet, wooded lots are slow to dry, and gutters and valleys fill with debris every fall.
