Roofing and Chimney Repair in Maplewood, NJ

Tudor revival homes near Maplewood Village still have their original chimneys, and most need repointing before replacement.

Maplewood's housing stock went up mostly in the twenties and thirties, and the Tudor revival style that defines the Village carried straight through to the surrounding blocks. Most of those homes still have their original brick chimneys, and after decades of freeze and thaw cycles the mortar joints are usually the first thing to go, well before the chimney itself needs rebuilding.

Roofing on these older homes tends to involve steeper pitches and multiple rooflines typical of the Tudor style, which takes more care around valleys and flashing than a simple gable roof. Being right on the SOMA border with South Orange, Maplewood shares a lot of that same older housing character, and masonry repairs here get held to the same standard, matching brick and mortar to what's already on the house.

Where we work in Maplewood

What Maplewood calls us for

Chimney

Original brick chimneys on Maplewood's Tudor revival homes usually need repointing before any structural repair.

Roofing

Steep, multi plane Tudor rooflines around the Village require careful flashing and valley work most flat roof jobs don't.

Masonry

Brick masonry on Maplewood's older homes needs mortar and coursing matched to what's already there, not a generic patch.
