Lafayette is a small, rural township in the New Jersey Highlands of Sussex County — farmland, historic village buildings, and country residential on large lots. The housing runs from 1800s–early-1900s farmhouses around the historic Lafayette village to newer custom homes on wooded acreage, and barns and agricultural outbuildings are part of the roofing picture here in a way they aren't downstate.
Lafayette sits in the snowiest, coldest band of our service area, so winter performance drives everything — heavy snow load, ice dams, and freeze-thaw are the real enemies. We spec ice & water shield well past the code minimum, favor standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal on farmhouses and barns for snow-shedding and longevity, and build for the Highlands climate rather than milder downstate conditions.
What We Work On in Lafayette
1800s–early-1900s farmhouses and historic village buildings around Lafayette village; newer custom homes on wooded Highlands acreage; working barns and agricultural outbuildings, many in standing-seam or exposed-fastener metal. Steep snow loads and freeze-thaw define the roofing spec. Almost entirely rural-residential and agricultural, with little commercial stock.

Lafayette is in the Highlands snow band — the heaviest snow load and ice-dam exposure in our entire service area — so our cold-climate detailing here goes well beyond what a North Jersey suburb needs.
Lafayette gets the heaviest, longest-lasting snow in our service area; ice dams and snow-load stress — not summer wind or hail — are the dominant roofing threats, and we detail for them on every install.
