Holland Township Roofing, Chimney & Gutter Services in Hunterdon County, NJ

Roofing in Holland Township

Holland Township runs along the Delaware from the mouth of the Musconetcong down to Milford, and most of its farm ground sits up on a plateau above the river. On the west side the land drops away in steep, wooded slopes and red-sandstone bluffs to the water, while the working farms spread out on open, level ground above. That split shapes the roofs here. The buildings that dominate a property are the farmhouse and the big barn beside it, and the two carry different roofs entirely — a steep-pitched covering on the house, long metal on the barn.

The barns are the ones people call about. A good number are Pennsylvania forebay bank barns: a stone lower level built into the slope, a timber frame above, and the upper floor cantilevered out over the barnyard as a forebay. Others are the older three-bay swing-beam type on level grade. What they share is a big, simple gable roof covered in standing-seam or corrugated metal, often in runs that go unbroken from ridge to eave. Metal in runs that long moves with every swing in temperature, and the movement works fasteners loose, backs the screws out of their neoprene gaskets, and pulls seams apart until a panel starts to oil-can and lift. The forebay is the tender spot — that overhanging eave takes runoff and ice with nothing but air beneath it, and the framing behind its edge rots quietly.

The farmhouses are mostly plain and two-story, with steep roofs that shed hard snow onto whatever wing or porch sits below. Out on the open plateau there is nothing to slow the wind coming across the fields, so the ridge lines and gable ends catch the worst of it, and that is where ridge cap and edge metal begin to work loose. Then there is the bluff. The slope side of most of these properties is wooded and steep, which means limbs come down on the barn and house roofs in a storm, and it means the level ground a crew can stage on is up top rather than down the grade. A heavy limb on a metal panel dents and unseats it in a way shingles never show — the damage hides under the deformation until water finds the opened seam.

Farm properties, not single roofs

A farm in Holland Township is rarely one roof. There is the house, the bank barn, and usually a machine shed, a corn crib, a spring house, and a run of newer pole-building outbuildings, all put up at different times and covered in different materials. Some are original standing-seam, some are corrugated panel from a mid-century re-roof, and some are asphalt shingle on the house. Each is aging on its own clock, and a real look at the property means reading all of them, because the barn that leaks onto stored equipment is a bigger problem than the porch that leaks onto a floor.

Snow and freeze-thaw drive most of the trouble. Deep barn pitches dump their load onto lower roofs and into the valleys where a later addition was tied into the original frame, and those valleys are where meltwater backs up under ice and finds a way in. On the plainer old houses the eaves are low and the gutters shallow, so meltwater refreezes at the edge night after night and builds an ice dam. And along the bluff, the damp coming off the river keeps the north slopes from drying — moss holds moisture against the seams and the shingle edges, and the metal fasteners on that side give out first.
