Maplewood sits adjacent to South Orange with a similar architectural identity — 1900-1940 Tudor revivals, Dutch colonials, and center-hall colonials on tree-lined streets organized around Maplewood Village and the train line. The 25,000-person township has a deep stock of pre-war homes that have aged into their second or third roof cycle, and that's much of what we work on here.
Maplewood's character is dense suburban — smaller lot lines than the larger Essex towns, which means dumpster placement and staging take coordination, and crews need to work neatly around neighbors. Same-day response from Garfield. Most replacements run GAF Timberline HDZ with the System Plus warranty on the more typical pre-war colonials; designer-grade shingle on the larger Tudors where the dimensional profile matches the architecture.
What We Work On in Maplewood
Maplewood's housing stock is dominated by 1900-1940 Tudor revivals, Dutch colonials with the distinctive gambrel roofline, and center-hall colonials — most on lots that are modest by Essex standards but well-maintained. Roof pitches run 8/12 to 12/12, with the Tudors carrying steep gables and complex multi-plane roof geometry; the Dutch colonials carry a distinctive gambrel that requires careful flashing at the upper-lower plane transition. Original slate is still present on a small share of the oldest homes; most have already been converted to asphalt over prior cycles.
