Essex Fells, NJ
NJ Roofing · Roof Replacement & Repair
Essex Fells is a small, almost entirely residential borough of large early-1900s homes on curving, tree-lined streets — one of the wealthiest and most architecturally consistent towns in Essex County. The housing is dominated by 1910s–1930s Tudor, Colonial, and stone-and-stucco estates, many with original slate or cedar roofs, alongside a smaller number of newer luxury customs.
Roofing in Essex Fells is premium work: complex roof geometry, high-end materials (natural and synthetic slate, cedar, copper), and homeowners who expect the result to last decades and look right doing it. We handle full slate and cedar re-roofs, copper flashing and detail work, and slate-look architectural laminate for owners who want the appearance without the natural-slate cost.
What We Work On in Essex Fells
Predominantly 1910s–1930s estate homes — Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and stone-and-stucco — on large wooded lots, with steep, complex roofs originally in slate or cedar. The borough is almost entirely residential with little commercial roofing stock. Newer construction is limited to high-end teardown rebuilds.

Essex Fells is a strictly residential borough; we coordinate permits with the borough construction office and schedule deliveries and dumpsters to respect the narrow, quiet streets.
Like its neighbors in the West Essex tree belt, Essex Fells roofs deal with heavy leaf debris and shaded, slow-drying north slopes that favor moss and ice-dam formation in winter — we extend ice & water shield past the code minimum on the larger shaded roofs.
