Phillipsburg is a 19th-century Delaware River mill town across from Easton, PA, with a housing stock heavy on 1860s-1900s brick rowhouses and Italianate single-families on the bluffs. Roofing work here is split between historic-grade slate restoration on the landmark properties and standard architectural-shingle replacement on the mid-century housing.
Warren County exposure adds snowfall + freeze-thaw cycling to the design considerations. We extend ice & water shield coverage 36" past the inside wall plane on Warren County installs (above the code minimum), and recommend metal roofing where snow-shed performance matters.
