Tewksbury Roofing, Chimney & Gutter Services in Hunterdon County, NJ

Roofing in Tewksbury

Tewksbury is a township of villages and open land, with Oldwick, Mountainville, Cokesbury, and Pottersville strung across it. Oldwick itself, once New Germantown, still stands as a compact historic district along County Route 517, and between the hamlets the ground opens into horse farms and preserved fields. The building stock follows from that: restored Federal and Greek Revival houses in the village, fieldstone farmhouses set back on the rise, and behind many of them a stable, a hay barn, and a run of outbuildings. The house roof usually gets the homeowner's eye, but the roofs that carry the most square footage here are the long metal ones over the barns.

A stable roof is a different animal from a shingled house. Standing-seam and corrugated metal cover barns because they shed fast and last, but a fifty- or eighty-foot unbroken run expands and contracts with every hot afternoon and cold night, and that constant movement is what works the exposed fasteners loose and backs the neoprene washers out of the screws. Once the gaskets harden and the heads lift, water finds the shank holes and tracks down the underside of the panel, often surfacing a long way from where it got in. On the flat pans you get oil-canning, and at the laps you get creep and separation where two lengths were joined. We work those down at the panel and the fastener line while the metal itself still has years of service left in it.

The houses carry their own list. The oldest farmhouses have steep roofs, a few still slate over a fieldstone base, and the trouble there runs to slipped or cracked slates, tired valleys, and flashing that has quit at the chimney, where old brick and stone stacks take counter flashing set down into the mortar joints. Out on the open rises the wind gets a long fetch across the fields and lifts shingles along the rakes and ridge, and the wooded higher ground drops limbs in the ice storms. Snow loads a roof and then lets go all at once, which matters as much for the barn metal as for the house. When we walk all of it, our aim is to name the two or three spots actually letting water in, not to write up more than the roof needs.

Open rises, wooded ridges, and the sheltered village bottoms

The township is really two kinds of ground. Mountainville sits in a narrow valley at the foot of Hell Mountain on the Rockaway Creek, and Cold Brook runs down past the early mill site at Oldwick; those low, shaded stream bottoms stay damp, hold snow longer, and grow moss on the north slopes of a roof. The horse farms, by contrast, sit up on the open rolling rises, where a roof takes wind and wind-driven rain with nothing in front of it. A shingle spec that holds up on a sheltered village lot can be underbuilt on an exposed hilltop, and the flashing and fastening have to answer for that difference.

In the villages the older frame houses stand close together along the main streets, Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian stock, some with box gutters built into the eaves that have to be relined in place. Out on the farms, the bigger ventilation problem is the stable itself: horses put a steady load of moisture and ammonia into the air, and a barn roof closed up tight lets that vapor condense on the cold underside of the metal and drip back down onto the hay and the framing. Cupolas and a properly built ridge vent earn their keep on those buildings, and we check that a barn actually breathes before chasing a leak that turns out to be condensation.
