South Orange is a walkable train village built up mostly in the early twentieth century, and a lot of that housing stock survives close to original. The Village Historic District and the streets around Seton Hall University are full of Tudor and Colonial Revival homes with slate roofs, stone foundations, and brick chimneys that were built to last but now need attention that respects what's there.

Masonry work in South Orange usually means matching mortar color and brick pattern on a home that's had one owner's worth of changes, not starting fresh. Roofing jobs on the older Tudors call for real judgment on flashing and valleys, since a lot of these roofs have complicated rooflines rather than a simple gable.

Where we work in South Orange

What South Orange calls us for

Masonry

Original brick and stone on the older Tudors and Colonial Revivals needs mortar and pattern matched, not just repaired.

Chimney

Chimneys built in the early 1900s around the Village are due for repointing well before a full rebuild.

Roofing

Complex rooflines on the older Tudor stock mean flashing and valley work matters more than a simple reshingle.
