Chatham homes and their roofs
Chatham Borough and Chatham Township are among the most sought-after addresses in Morris County, with colonials, Tudors, and Capes on tree-lined streets. Renovations here are about adding space and value to homes owners plan to keep for a long time.
Colonials: simple roofs, big walls
Colonial roofs in Chatham are usually simple gables, which keeps roofing cost down. The big two-story walls are where siding makes the biggest visual difference, and many still have 1970s aluminum siding.
Tudors and steep roofs
Tudors in Chatham have steep, dramatic roof lines that need experienced crews, careful staging, and proper flashing where roofs meet stucco and brick.
Cape roofs: steep, with lots of flashing
Chatham Capes have steep roofs, dormers, and a lot of wall-to-roof flashing, and the finished half-story often has little attic ventilation. That combination causes ice dams and leaks. We fix the flashing and ventilation, not just the shingles.
Chatham pricing
Most Chatham roof replacements run $14,000 to $28,000 for architectural shingles, because homes here tend to be larger or steeper. Roof-and-siding packages typically run $35,000 to $65,000.
