MILLBURN'S
LOCAL ROOFING
CONTRACTOR.
Millburn — including the Short Hills section — is one of the most distinctive residential markets in Essex County. Pre-war center-hall colonials and Tudor-revival homes dominate the older streets, with early-1950s custom infill across the Short Hills neighborhoods. Slate restoration, copper detailing, and designer architectural shingles are the table stakes.
PRE-WAR ESTATES, TUDOR REVIVALS, AND SHORT HILLS CUSTOM HOMES.
Millburn's housing stock is anchored by pre-war center-hall colonials and Tudor-revival homes — many built between the 1910s and the 1930s. The Short Hills section adds early-1950s custom infill, often on larger lots with steeper pitches and more elaborate roof geometry. This is not a builder-grade replacement market.
Working on a Millburn or Short Hills roof means slate, cedar, and copper come up in almost every estimate. Designer architectural shingles like CertainTeed Landmark Pro are our default when slate restoration isn't the right move. Copper step and counter flashing match the existing detailing on Tudor and Colonial Revival houses where aluminum would look wrong.
