Glen Ridge is a tiny, distinctive Essex County borough of about 7,800 — famous for its gas-lamp streetlights and a designated historic district full of Victorian, Tudor, and grand colonial homes. The architecture here is the whole story: steep, ornate rooflines, original slate, and copper detailing that demand a roofer who knows how to preserve character.
Housing in Glen Ridge
Predominantly late-1800s to 1930s period homes: Victorians, Tudors, and large center-hall colonials, many in the historic district with original or replacement slate roofs, copper flashing, and tall masonry chimneys. This is some of the most architecturally sensitive roofing in Essex County.
What we most commonly find on Glen Ridge roofs
