Montclair has one of the deepest stocks of architecturally serious housing in NJ — Victorian, Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, Stickley-era Arts & Crafts, and Mid-Century Modern, all in active service. Significant portions of Upper Montclair and the South End sit inside Historic Preservation Commission jurisdiction. We work Montclair heavily for high-end roof replacement: slate, cedar, copper, and premium architectural-shingle.
Our Montclair work skews higher-design than most of our Essex County footprint — copper-soldered ridge details, lead-coated copper flashings, and historically-correct shingle profiles are routine.
