Roofing and chimney work in Bethlehem
Bethlehem Township sits in the northwestern corner of Hunterdon County, where the farmland of the county gives way to the wooded slopes of the Highlands. The Musconetcong River runs along its northern edge at the Warren County line, Interstate 78 crosses the township, and small historic settlements such as Pattenburg and West Portal sit along the old roads. Much of the housing is on wooded hillside lots rather than open fields, which changes what roofs and chimneys have to deal with.

Housing in Bethlehem
Bethlehem's housing is a mix of older farmhouses and village homes with brick chimneys, mid-century ranches and split-levels, and homes from the 1970s through the 2000s on wooded or partly cleared lots, many of them colonials and contemporaries set into slopes. Asphalt shingle is the standard roof. Wood stoves and fireplaces are common, and most homes rely on oil, propane or wood rather than natural gas.
Weather and exposure
The township's terrain rises from the Musconetcong valley onto wooded ridges, so many homes sit under tall hardwoods that shade the roof, drop leaves and branches and keep shingles damp. North-facing slopes hold snow longer, and higher ground sees more of it. Summer thunderstorms bring down limbs, and homes on cleared ridgetops also take the wind that crosses the higher ground.
