About Orange and Its Roofing Needs
The City of Orange Township is an Essex County community in transition — with new investment breathing energy into the downtown along Main Street while established residential neighborhoods on the hillside maintain their solid, working-class character. Orange's elevation rises dramatically from its eastern border to its western heights, creating a city of hills that affects everything from drainage patterns to wind exposure.
Roofing Expertise for Orange Properties
Orange homes span a wide range: Victorian-era residences near the downtown, two-family and three-family investment properties along Central Avenue and Scotland Road, postwar colonials and ranches in the Hillside section, and newer construction in the revitalized transit-oriented district near Orange Station. The city's two-and-three-family homes — like those in nearby East Orange — feature combination roof systems with pitched shingle sections over the main structure and flat membrane sections over rear additions and porches.
Addressing Orange's Specific Roofing Challenges
Orange's dramatic hillside topography means water management is critical. Homes on the upper slopes face greater wind exposure, while lower-elevation properties must handle stormwater runoff from above. Gutter and downspout systems in Orange need to be oversized and properly routed to manage the hillside drainage patterns. We assess the full water flow path — from roof to gutter to downspout to grade — on every Orange inspection to prevent the foundation water problems that plague hillside communities.
