Newton is the Sussex County seat — 8,000 residents centered around the historic courthouse green. Newton is also our northernmost-frequent service area, and the work here is shaped by NJ's heaviest snowfall + ice-dam exposure. Every replacement we do in Newton gets full eaves + valley ice & water shield coverage (we extend to 36" past inside wall plane rather than the 24" code minimum).
Township housing is heavy on 1800s-1900s wood-frame and Greek Revival in the Historic District, with 1950s-1990s suburban surrounding. Slate-to-architectural conversions are common when historic district doesn't require replacement-in-kind. Snow-load considerations drive material selection — we recommend metal roofing or premium architectural-shingle for properties with significant tree exposure.
What We Work On in Newton
Newton Historic District: 1820s-1900s Greek Revival, Italianate, Queen Anne with slate, cedar, or original asphalt. Spring Street commercial: 1860s-1890s brick. Outer township: 1950s-1990s suburban single-family. Significant tree exposure throughout — ice-dam risk is real.
