Calendar
What the calendar asks of a Morris County roof
| Season | What tends to show up | A look worth taking |
|---|---|---|
| Winter | Ice along the edges after a thaw and a refreeze | The eaves, from the yard, and the attic boards |
| Spring | Stains that wintry weather opened up | Top-floor ceilings and the flashing around chimneys |
| Summer | Thunderstorms that drive rain sideways | Vent pipes, ridge and any shingle that lifted |
| Autumn | Leaves in the gutters and tropical leftovers | Gutters, downspouts and the ground below them |
Size of the job
What decides how big a roofing job is
Nobody can name the size of a job from the street. A roofer reads a few things first. How large and how steep is the roof? How many layers of shingles are already there? What do the boards underneath look like, and how many chimneys, vents and walls meet the roof?
Access matters too. Overhead wires, a narrow driveway or a steep lot change how the work is staged. The roof replacement page walks through the list.

Local numbers
What Montville's housing plan counts
Montville Township's 2025 housing plan, drawing on the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, counts 8,272 homes. Of those, 5,622 are detached houses and 1,498 are attached. Owners occupy 87.1 percent and renters 10.8 percent.
The same plan shows 1,739 homes built before 1960 and 3,190 built before 1970, and says about 55 percent went up between 1970 and 1999. How old any one roof is depends on when it was last replaced, so the age comes up first on a call.
Repair or replace
Patch it, or take the whole roof off?
Roofing guidance from the Department of Energy includes a builders' threshold: when repair would cover more than a tenth of the roof, replacement becomes the recommendation. Below that, a roof repair on the damaged spot is the usual comparison.
The roof's age, a pattern of leaks in different places and a look at the boards under the shingles all feed into the choice. The season guide shows when each kind of damage tends to appear.
