Millburn Township — which includes the Short Hills section — is one of New Jersey's most established affluent communities, with a housing stock that runs from large 1890-1930 Victorians and Tudors to mid-century estates and premium newer construction. Roofing here is a premium market: slate restoration on the historic homes around Old Short Hills Road and the Wyoming section, designer-grade asphalt or synthetic slate on the larger center-hall colonials, and standing-seam copper accents on landmark estates.
We service Millburn-Short Hills from our Garfield shop with same-day response on emergencies. The work here often involves coordinating with insurance adjusters on covered claims for high-value homes (where percentage-based wind/hail deductibles can run into five figures), with historic-district considerations on the older properties, and with the homeowner expectations that come with this market — written warranties, premium accessory systems, and crews experienced with complex cut-up roofs.
What We Work On in Millburn
Millburn-Short Hills is dominated by 1890-1930 Victorians and Tudors (the historic core in both Millburn proper and the Old Short Hills section), 1920s-1950s center-hall colonials and Tudors (the Wyoming and South Mountain Reservation-adjacent neighborhoods), and post-war estates on larger lots. Roof pitches frequently run 10/12 to 14/12 with multiple dormers, turrets, and complex valleys — the cut-up geometry that benefits from a crew experienced with historic roof work. Original slate is still in place on a meaningful share of the oldest homes; restoration vs. replacement is often the right conversation, not automatic tear-off.
