Residential Streets on Newark's Southern Edge
Hillside is a residential township of mostly single- and two-family homes with pitched shingle roofs, sitting on the Union County side of Newark's southern border. The usual calls here are shingle wind damage, chimney flashing, gutters full of leaves, and roofs reaching the end of their second layer. Detached homes here generally fall under New Jersey's ordinary-maintenance rule for roof replacement.
How Hillside Relates to Newark
Hillside borders Newark's Weequahic and Dayton neighborhoods and Irvington. It's in Union County, but contractors working Newark's South Ward include it as a matter of course.
