Cedar Grove is a quiet Essex County township of about 12,400 on the slopes of the Watchung Mountains. It's predominantly post-war and newer single-family — ranches, split-levels, and custom colonials — with some hillside lots that catch more wind and weather than the valley towns.
Housing in Cedar Grove
Largely 1950s–1980s single-family — ranches, split-levels, and colonials — plus newer custom construction on the higher, wooded lots. Roof geometry ranges from simple to moderately cut-up, with hillside wind exposure a factor on the upper streets.
What we most commonly find on Cedar Grove roofs
- Mid-century asphalt roofs at first or second replacement age
- Wind exposure on hillside Watchung lots
- Skylight leaks on 70s–80s additions
- Ice damming on north-facing slopes
Why we work in Cedar Grove
Cedar Grove's mid-century homes are exactly the clean architectural-shingle replacements we deliver consistently, and the hillside lots reward solid flashing and ventilation work.
