Chatham — the closely-paired Borough of Chatham and Township of Chatham — is an affluent Morris County community organized around the NJ Transit Morris & Essex Line and the historic Main Street downtown. Combined population around 19,000, with a housing stock dominated by 1900-1940 colonials, Tudor revivals, and Victorians plus mid-century mix on the township edges. Roofing here trends premium and historic-character.
Our Chatham response runs same-day from Garfield. Most replacements are architectural-shingle tear-offs on pre-war colonials and Tudors (GAF Timberline HDZ with System Plus), with periodic slate restoration on the oldest Victorians, designer-grade shingle on the larger center-hall colonials, and copper flashing on the historic core. Decking replacement is common on the pre-1950 housing where lath-and-plank sheathing has aged.
What We Work On in Chatham
Chatham's housing stock is dominated by 1900-1940 colonials, Tudor revivals, and Victorians (the borough and township historic cores), with 1920s-1950s center-hall colonials and Tudors (the established residential bulk), and post-war suburban housing on the township edges. Roof pitches run 8/12 to 12/12 on the pre-war stock, with Tudor and Victorian gables, dormers, and turret geometry on the oldest homes. Original slate remains on a small share of pre-1920 housing; restoration vs. tear-off is often the right conversation.
