Perth Amboy is one of the oldest cities in NJ — colonial-era roots and an 1880s-1920s housing stock that includes Victorian, Italianate, and Queen Anne single-families plus rowhouses on tight lots. Active port city with significant industrial waterfront. Our work splits between residential architectural-shingle on the historic stock and heavy industrial flat-roof on the port-area warehouses.
Bayside exposure adds wind and salt-air considerations on the eastern properties. Historic district covers much of the central area.
