Hillside Township borders Elizabeth to the northwest, making it one of our most accessible service areas. This residential community of about 22,000 sits along the slope between the Watchung Mountains and the coastal lowlands, giving it a mix of terrain that affects everything from drainage patterns to wind exposure. Liberty Avenue serves as the township's main commercial strip, while the residential streets -- particularly in the neighborhoods near Conant Park and the area around Hillside High School -- feature the practical, well-built homes that define Union County's middle-class communities.
Hillside's housing is predominantly single-family homes and smaller multi-family buildings constructed between the 1930s and 1960s. These are the kinds of properties that need attentive maintenance -- not because they were poorly built, but because they have served their owners well for generations and their mechanical systems are reaching the point where upgrade or replacement delivers real value.
Roofing in Hillside
The varying elevation across Hillside means that homes on higher ground face more wind exposure, while properties at lower elevations deal with heavier water runoff. Our roofing team accounts for these differences when recommending materials and installation approaches. We handle residential shingle roofs, flat-roof repairs on multi-family buildings, gutter installation to manage Hillside's drainage challenges, and emergency storm damage response. The Route 22 commercial properties in the township get flat-roof expertise including TPO and built-up roofing systems.
HVAC Services
Hillside homes need dependable heating and cooling, and many of the original systems installed in the mid-century are ready for replacement. Our HVAC technicians help homeowners choose the right-sized, energy-efficient system for their specific home -- oversizing wastes money, undersizing leaves you uncomfortable. We also service and maintain existing systems to maximize their remaining useful life, clean ducts to improve airflow and air quality, and respond to emergency breakdowns around the clock.
Plumbing for Hillside
Residential plumbing in Hillside covers the full range -- from routine drain cleaning and water heater service to pipe replacements and sewer line work. The township's older homes may have galvanized supply lines that restrict water flow or clay sewer laterals that are susceptible to root intrusion and cracking. Our plumbers diagnose these issues with camera inspections and provide repair options that range from spot fixes to full replacements. Emergency plumbing service is available 24/7, and our proximity to Hillside means response times are measured in minutes.
Electrical Upgrades
Many Hillside homes operate on 60-amp or 100-amp electrical panels that were adequate in the 1950s but fall short today. Our electricians upgrade these panels to 200-amp service, add dedicated circuits for major appliances and home offices, install GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, and set up whole-home generators for backup power. For the commercial properties along Liberty Avenue and Route 22, we provide full electrical service including lighting, power distribution, and code compliance upgrades.
Hillside is right next door, and we treat it that way -- responsive, reliable, and always available when our Hillside neighbors need us.
