Hunterdon County
Roofing & Exteriors

Hunterdon County is one of NJ's oldest and most architecturally significant counties — pre-Revolutionary stone houses dating to the 1730s, Federal-period county-seat architecture in Flemington (the courthouse where the Lindbergh trial was held), Victorian and Italianate river-town housing in Lambertville on the Delaware River, and substantial 1800s farmhouse inventory across the agricultural townships. Roofing here is overwhelmingly heritage-grade.

Flemington anchors the county seat — the 1828 courthouse, the surrounding Federal and Greek Revival landmarks along Main Street and Bonnell Street, and the 1840s–1900s residential housing throughout the borough. The Flemington Historic Preservation Commission reviews exterior changes throughout most of the borough core. We've worked with the HPC on slate restoration, cedar shake replacement, and copper detail work on landmark properties. Lambertville is a Delaware River town with substantial 1840s–1880s Italianate, Greek Revival, and Federal-era residential along Bridge Street and the surrounding streets — one of NJ's most photogenic historic streetscapes, with corresponding HPC jurisdiction.

Hunterdon's agricultural townships (Readington, Raritan, East Amwell, Delaware) have substantial 1700s–1800s stone farmhouse inventory still in active use as primary residences. Stone-house roofing has specific requirements — original wood shake, slate, or hand-formed metal; modern asphalt is rarely historically appropriate and usually inferior aesthetically. We handle these conversions thoughtfully, often recommending DaVinci synthetic shake or slate to preserve the visual character while delivering modern weatherproofing and warranty. Each township has its own permit process; some have additional rural-residential design guidelines.
