Roofing That Respects Morristown's Older Homes

Morristown has a deep stock of older houses, Colonials and Victorians among them, many standing on the blocks near the Green and downtown. Farther out you'll find mid-century homes and newer construction. The older roofs often carry slate, copper details or steep, multi-gabled designs that don't forgive careless work.

Our first job on any roof here is figuring out what's worth saving. A slate roof with a handful of broken pieces and tired flashing usually needs a repair, not a tear-off. A shingle roof with soft decking and no real ventilation is a different story. We document what we find with photos and give you a written estimate that explains the recommendation.

If your home is in a historic district, or you think the town may want to review the work, tell us at the start. We check with the Morristown construction office before anything begins and choose materials and colors with that in mind.

Roofing Services in Morristown

These are the services that fit Morristown's housing best. Each links to a page with more on materials and process.

Slate Roof Repair

Replacing cracked and slipped slates, renewing worn flashing, and keeping a sound slate roof in service instead of replacing it early.

Roof Replacement

When a roof is finished, we strip it to the deck, repair the sheathing and install a GAF system with ice-and-water shield and proper ventilation. Designer shingles are an option if you want a slate or shake look.

Roof Repair

Leaks at dormers, skylights, valleys and wall step flashing, on older Colonials and newer homes alike.

Chimney

Re-flashing, crowns, repointing and crickets for wide chimneys that trap water and debris on their uphill side.

Gutters

Seamless gutters sized for long, steep roof runs, plus repairs along the gutter line where the wood behind it has started to rot.

Soffit & Fascia

Rotted fascia boards replaced and vented soffit added, which helps the attic breathe and stops the decay that overflowing gutters leave behind.

Common Roof Problems on Morristown Homes

Older houses and steep roofs bring their own set of problems. Here's what we look for first.

Sound slate, failing flashing. Slate itself can last a very long time, but the metal around it usually gives out first. Valleys, chimney flashing and ridge details are where many slate roofs leak, and fixing them doesn't require a new roof.
Old patches on slate. Tar smeared over a cracked slate, or asphalt shingles tucked in as replacements, trap water and make the next repair harder. We remove them and set matching slate where we can source it.
Ice dams on cold, steep roofs. Older homes often have thin insulation and almost no attic ventilation. Snow melts, refreezes at the eaves and backs water under the roof. On every replacement we address ventilation and run ice-and-water shield along the eaves.
Wide chimneys without crickets. A broad chimney on the slope catches snow and leaves on its uphill side. Without a cricket to split the flow, the flashing there is under constant stress.
Hidden rot behind gutters. Where gutters have overflowed for years, the fascia and rafter tails behind them decay quietly. We check that wood before hanging anything new on it.

Morristown FAQ

Questions from Morristown Homeowners

Should I repair my slate roof or replace it?

If most of the slates are still solid and well fastened, repair is usually the better value. If many are flaking, soft or sliding, or past repairs have damaged large areas, replacement may make more sense. After the inspection we'll tell you which applies, and price both when the answer isn't clear.

Can I get the look of slate without real slate?

Yes. Synthetic slate and GAF designer shingles give a similar appearance at far less weight. Whether that's a good fit depends on the house and on any review the town may require, which we look into before you decide.

Do I need a permit or approval to reroof in Morristown?

That varies with the scope and the property. We check with the Morristown construction office, and with any other local review that may apply, before work starts, and we handle the paperwork that's needed.

Do you offer financing or discounts?

Both. Seniors 65 and over, veterans and active-duty service members receive 20% off, and larger projects can be paid over time through financing on approved credit.
