Older river towns, newer townships
The river towns are the oldest. Manville's median house dates to 1956, Bound Brook's to 1957 and Somerville's to 1960, and in Manville about one home in four is a two-family house. The big townships around them are newer: Bridgewater's median house dates to 1981, Franklin Township's to 1986 and Montgomery's to 1994.
About one home in seven in the county is a townhouse or another attached single-family house. New Jersey's permit exemption for a new roof covering is written for detached houses, so an attached one usually goes through the town's construction office, and the association often owns the roof.
Bernardsville, Bedminster, Bernards Township, Far Hills and Peapack and Gladstone are in the Highlands, the colder and snowier part of the state. The rest of the county sits lower, where winter storms often switch between rain and snow and leave slush that freezes again overnight.
So we do not price a Somerset County house from the street. We get on the roof when it is safe to and look first.

Do you need a permit in Somerset County?
For most roof, siding and gutter jobs, no. New Jersey's construction code lists three jobs as ordinary maintenance, which means no permit and no notice to the town: a new roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house, new siding on a one- or two-family house unless it is polypropylene, and new gutters on any house. Chimney masonry is not on that list, so your town's construction office decides what it needs. Franklin Township requires a certificate of appropriateness for exterior alterations to houses in its local historic districts. We check with your town before we start, and any permit goes on the estimate.

Yes, when the roof is yours to replace. Many townhouse roofs belong to the association, so check your documents first. On an attached house a new roof usually needs a permit, and we check with your town and put it on the estimate.
Yes. If water is showing up downstairs, we can look in both units with your tenant's okay, so the repair goes where the water gets in.
Call us, but check with your association first. In most condos the roof and the siding belong to the association, and the board hires the contractor. Townhouses vary. Your association documents say who owns what.
Cement shingles on older houses can contain asbestos. We do not touch them. If we see them at the inspection, we tell you and refer you to a company that tests for asbestos and removes it.
