Roofing in Pequannock, NJ: Pompton Plains, the Glens and the 1950s
At 33 Evans Place in Pompton Plains, the Railroad Station Museum stands in a township whose population more than doubled in the 1950s, according to its own history. Pequannock covers just under 7 square miles, mostly houses, and the township counts 14,506 residents. Dial (862) 972-4008 and give the street plus the roof's age; those two details help more than the neighborhood name.
What roofs here deal with
Three roof ages in one township
Census figures for 2020-2024 give Pequannock a median home built in 1966 and 6,554 homes in all: 1,711 from the 1950s, 1,102 from the 2000s and 881 from the 1990s, each give or take a few hundred. The township says the Glens holds 583 homes and apartments from the early 1990s, and Cedar Crest is a 1,500-unit retirement community.
That makes three age groups for a roofer to think about: 1950s houses, 1990s roofs and 2000s roofs. Which one yours belongs to says how much the attic can tell you about earlier work, and about 17 percent of occupied homes are rented.
Weather record
The township reports FEMA flood maps in effect from 19 August 2025 and 100 flood-prone properties permanently mitigated.
The county's 2017 analysis put 1,164 of Pequannock's 5,642 buildings in the 1-percent flood zone. Isaias passed through on 3 and 4 August 2020, bringing down countless trees statewide and cutting power to over a million customers; those are statewide figures, not a Pequannock count.
