Roofing and siding in Essex County, our home ground
Our base is on Cary Street in the City of Orange. Most of Essex County is a short drive, which makes a second look an easy errand.
Where we are based
RJ Construction's address is 496 Cary St in the City of Orange, and Essex County is the work we can get to fastest. Orange sits in the middle of the county's older suburbs, surrounded by West Orange, East Orange and South Orange with Montclair just to the north, so a quote visit, a follow-up after a storm or a second look at something you noticed is a short trip, not a scheduling problem.
What Essex County houses need
Essex County has some of the oldest housing stock in North Jersey, and it shows up on the roof and the walls:
- Victorian and early twentieth-century houses in Orange, Montclair, Maplewood, South Orange and Glen Ridge, with steep roofs, dormers, turrets, porches and a lot of flashing detail. These are roofs where the flashing work is most of the job.
- Two-family and multi-family houses in Orange, East Orange and Bloomfield, often with a low-slope rear section or a flat porch roof that needs a membrane rather than shingles.
- Post-war colonials, capes and split-levels in Livingston, Verona, Cedar Grove, West Orange and the Caldwells, where full roof replacements and siding are the typical projects.
- Big old trees. Mature shade trees are part of the charm here, and they are also the source of clogged gutters, moss and the limbs that come down in storms.
What we do here
Most of our Essex County work is roof replacement and roof repair, followed by siding, windows and gutters. The low-slope sections common on two-families are covered under flat roofing.

Common questions
Where is RJ Construction located?
496 Cary St, City of Orange, NJ 07050, in Essex County. Call (973) 625-7663.
Do you work on older Victorian roofs?
Yes. Older Essex County houses have steep pitches, dormers and a lot of flashing, and that detail work is where a roof on a house like that succeeds or fails.
Do you do flat roofs on two-family houses?
Yes. Rear sections and porch roofs on two-families are often too flat for shingles and need a roll or membrane system with proper drainage.
