Roofing
Morris Plains Borough’s 1940s-1960s capes near the train station are reaching replacement age on second-cycle roofs installed in the 1990s — and the low-pitch cape sections are showing ponding damage and slow drainage that degrades shingles faster than the steeper upper slopes. We inspect every section including the shallow-pitch dormers and cape breaks before recommending any system. Owens Corning Duration is our standard recommendation on these homes.

Original aluminum siding on Morris Plains’ 1950s-1960s capes is a common condition — the material that was installed as an upgrade over original cedar is now 40+ years old and showing chalking, seam separation, and denting. Vinyl replacements from the 1990s are also aging. We assess the wall assembly and substrate condition before recommending any replacement.

Undersized original gutters on Morris Plains’ cape-style homes are a consistent problem — the steep upper-story roof section pushes a high volume of water into a gutter that was sized at the minimum during original construction. We fabricate seamless aluminum on-site, size correctly for each roof section, and add leaf guards when established street trees make seasonal cleaning the dominant maintenance task.

Original wood-frame windows on Morris Plains’ older capes near the station have failed glazing, painted-shut sashes, and sill rot from years of condensation at the frame joint. 1990s vinyl replacements on the same homes are fogging and losing seal. We measure every opening individually and provide room-by-room condition assessments before recommending any product.

Narrow original doorways on Morris Plains’ cape-style homes limit replacement options — many can’t accommodate a standard 36-inch prehung without rough opening modification. We assess the doorway geometry first and provide honest options including whether the opening can be modified or whether a non-standard size is the right approach. Therma-Tru and JELD-WEN both have smaller prehung options.

We treat painting in Morris Plains as a system: fix the substrate, prime correctly, and finish with coatings rated for the conditions. Interiors, exteriors, cabinets, decks, and trim — one accountable crew.

Have a question not listed? Call us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Free inspection first — we walk every slope, check the ridge, probe every flashing, and assess the attic ventilation. Written condition report before any product is specified. Then a full scope and estimate. CertainTeed or GAF architectural shingles in a profile appropriate for your colonial.
James Hardie HardiePlank fiber cement — it replaces the chalking, fading aluminum permanently with a product that holds paint for decades and carries a 30-year warranty. We probe the substrate behind the existing siding before recommending any installation approach.
We measure your actual roof drainage area and calculate the correct gutter sizing for your specific home. Most Morris Plains colonials from the 1950s–70s have original 4-inch gutters that need to be upgraded to 5 or 6-inch K-style. Written drainage assessment before anything is quoted.
We assess every window individually and prioritize by condition. Seal failures, frame rot, and single-pane glass are the immediate priorities. Windows with intact frames and functional seals can wait. Written per-unit assessment covering every window in the house before any prioritization discussion.
We assess the full opening — door panel condition, frame plumb, threshold rot, and sill pan. If the frame is sound, a new Therma-Tru or Pella fiberglass slab is often sufficient. If the frame has moved, a full prehung replacement is the right call. Written assessment before anything is recommended.
Yes — blocked soffit vents prevent the intake airflow that ridge venting requires for proper attic ventilation. Restricted ventilation increases summer attic temperatures and winter moisture buildup, both of which shorten roofing lifespan. We include attic ventilation assessment in every Morris Plains roof inspection.
