Roofing and Masonry in Glen Ridge, NJ

The whole borough sits inside a historic district, so roof and masonry work here answers to the review board, not just the homeowner.

Glen Ridge is small and almost entirely covered by its own historic district, gaslit streets and all. Victorian and Colonial Revival homes here were built with slate roofs, decorative brick, and stone detailing that the borough expects to see maintained, not replaced with whatever's cheapest. Any exterior work that changes what's visible from the street usually needs to clear the historic preservation commission first.

That makes roofing and masonry jobs in Glen Ridge more particular than in towns next door. Slate and cedar shake repairs need to match existing coursing, and brick or stone masonry work on the older homes has to hold the same look the block has had for generations. It's slower work, but it's the kind of town where that matters.

What Glen Ridge calls us for

Masonry

Brick and stone work on Glen Ridge homes has to match existing detail closely enough to pass the historic review process.

Roofing

Slate and cedar shake roofs common through the district need repairs that keep the original coursing intact.

Chimney

Decorative chimneys on the older Victorians need repointing done in a way that doesn't change how they read from the street.
