Roofing across Morris County.
Lightning Construction is a veteran- and family-owned, GAF-certified contractor serving Morris County — an affluent North Jersey county of historic towns, corporate campuses and lakes, anchored by Morristown and Parsippany.
Across Morris County's 34 municipalities there are about 187,494 housing units, and the median one was built in 1971. On average 61% of the housing in each town here predates 1980, which is the line either side of which a roof replacement stops being routine and starts involving decking and ventilation. The spread inside the county is wide: Mountain Lakes has a median build year of 1949 while Riverdale sits at 1996. Those are different houses with different roofs, and they do not price alike. New Vernon carries the highest median home value in the county, at $1.1 million.
What we build against here
Morris County is designed for 35 pounds per square foot of ground snow under New Jersey's construction code — one of the highest figures in the state. Ice-and-water shield carried well past the wall line and a genuinely ventilated attic are what keep water out of ceilings here.
