Pre-war houses in the borough
Nearly a third of the borough's homes went up before 1940. Roofs this age have often been patched more than once, so we look at the layers and the wood beneath them.
Roof replacement →Roofing in Chatham, NJ often means working on a house that has seen several roofs already. We inspect the roof and chimney in person, explain what we find and price the job before work starts.

Two Chathams, two kinds of roof
The borough was mostly built out before World War II, while the township filled in after it. We work in both, and the two call for different checks.
Township homes from the 1950s to the 1980s
Most houses in the township date from these four decades, when farmland gave way to home sites. Vents, skylights and flashing from that period are often due for renewal.
Skylights →
Tree-lined streets
The borough has been a Tree City USA community since 2001. Shade keeps a roof damp for longer and leaves fill the gutters, so we check both.

What homeowners say
Working with All Country Construction was an excellent experience. Roofing can be a messy job, it's hard and dangerous work. As a homeowner you hope for the best when you sign up to do this work but you know it's going to be disruptive. That said, this team impressed me beyond my best expectations. Not only were they punctual (quite literally to the minute with each consult and work visit) but they worked quickly and did their work in a manner that left my property looking good before they closed for each day. They worked around our needs and schedule as well. The pricing was very fair and their advice on items they felt were important was not presented in a pushy or cost prohibitive way. I was so impressed with the team and the work that I immediately called them back for some additional work beyond the roof. On this next visit, they were again right on time (to the minute) and work was done quickly and thoroughly. Thus, this is obviously proof of how they operate every day. I am very happy that I found this team and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.
Marc G.I had an issue with my chimney and All Country Construction did an amazing job fixing it. From the beginning they were very professional, responsive and explained everything clearly. The work was done on time, clean and with great attention to detail. The chimney looks solid and well-finished now and I feel much more comfortable and safe. I truly appreciate their quality work and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Borough and township rules worth knowing
Work hours in the township
Township rules let crews start at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. on Saturdays, with work finished by 6 p.m. either day. Sunday work is prohibited. The borough sets its own hours.
Selling a house in the borough
The borough asks for a Certificate of Continuing Occupancy on a sale. Its inspection covers chimney connections and sagging gutters, and open construction permits must be closed first.
Permits
Under New Jersey's building code, repairing or replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house counts as ordinary maintenance. That work generally needs no permit.
Each municipality's construction office has the final say for your address.

Questions homeowners ask
Do you work in both Chatham Borough and Chatham Township?
Yes, we take roof and chimney jobs in both. They are separate municipalities with their own offices and rules. Tell us which one you live in when you call, and we will plan the visit and the work hours around it.
My house was built before 1940. Can the roof still be repaired?
Often it can. Age alone does not decide it. We look at how many layers are on the roof, the state of the boards and where the leaks are. If repairs would only buy a season, we will say so.
I am selling my house. Should I fix the roof and chimney first?
It usually helps to deal with known problems early. The borough's resale inspection looks at chimney connections and gutters, and buyers' inspectors check the roof. We can inspect, give you a written quote and complete agreed repairs before you list.
Why is moss growing on my roof?
Moss tends to grow where a roof stays shaded and damp, often under large trees. It holds moisture against the shingles and can lift their edges. We check how far it has spread and whether the shingles below are still sound.
Does homeowners insurance pay for a new roof?
It depends on the policy and on what damaged the roof, and only the insurance company can answer. Wear from age is usually treated differently from storm damage. Photograph everything, report it promptly and ask us for a written repair quote.
Can one crew handle the roof and the chimney together?
Yes. Our crew does roofing and masonry, so the chimney can be repointed or rebuilt before the new shingles and flashing go on around it. You deal with one company, one schedule and one quote.
