Roofing and siding in Morris County
Larger houses on wooded lots, lakefront homes, and more snow than the towns to the east.
West of the Watchung ridges
Morris County starts just west of Essex County. Chatham, Madison and Florham Park border western Essex County, and Morristown, Parsippany, Denville and Randolph are farther out along Route 10 and I-287. RJ Construction has worked across the county for years and still roofs and sides houses throughout it.
What Morris County roofs deal with
- Bigger roofs. A lot of the housing is 1970s to 1990s colonials and contemporaries on large lots: long rooflines, several gables and hips, and plenty of valleys.
- Snow and ice. The western half of the county sits higher and gets more snow than the towns near the city. Ice builds at the eaves, so ice-and-water shield along the edges and good attic ventilation matter here.
- Tree cover. Wooded lots mean shaded roofs that stay damp, moss, clogged gutters and branches over the house.
- Older town centers. Morristown, Madison and Chatham have historic houses with slate, steep pitches and detailed trim.
Common Morris County projects

Common questions
Do you still work in Randolph?
Yes. Randolph and the rest of Morris County are part of our service area. Our office is at 496 Cary St in the City of Orange.
How do you prevent ice dams on a Morris County roof?
Ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys, plus balanced intake and exhaust ventilation so the roof deck stays cold. Clear gutters help too.
Do you roof lake houses and new construction?
Yes. The photo at the top of this page is a new lakefront house our crew roofed, with the underlayment going down over the deck.
