Roofing in Essex County

What Essex County roofs are up against

Ridges, trees, and older neighborhoods

The First and Second Watchung ridges run through western Essex, so homes in Montclair, West Orange, and Verona can sit high and exposed to wind. Mature trees shade many streets, dropping limbs in storms and keeping roofs damp. In Newark and the Oranges, dense blocks and flat-roofed buildings deal with heat and ponding water.

Victorians, colonials, and multi-family homes

Essex has a large share of homes built before 1940: Victorians and colonials in Montclair, Glen Ridge, and South Orange, and two- and three-family homes in Newark, Irvington, and the Oranges. These roofs often have steep pitches, dormers, turrets, and board decking, and many have been patched over the years.

FAQ

Essex County roofing questions

Still have a question? Call (201) 773-6635 or email info@allprosnj.com.

Can you work on older, steep roofs in towns like Montclair?

Yes. We repair and replace steep and complex roofs, including dormers and valleys, and replace damaged board decking during tear-off.

Do you serve Newark?

Yes. We serve Newark and all 22 Essex County municipalities, including flat-roof repair and replacement on multi-family homes.

Why are older Essex County roofs harder to replace?

Older homes often have multiple shingle layers, board decking, steep pitches, and lots of details like dormers. Each adds work, which is why an in-person estimate matters.
