Roofing and chimney work in Delaware
Delaware Township stretches from the hills west of Flemington to the bluffs above the Delaware River, a rural township of preserved farmland, wooded stream valleys and old crossroads villages such as Sergeantsville, where the Green Sergeant's Covered Bridge is the last historic covered bridge in New Jersey. It is known for its old stone farmhouses and barns, and much of its housing is spread out on large lots and farms rather than in subdivisions.

Housing in Delaware
Delaware Township's housing includes many 18th- and 19th-century stone and frame farmhouses with bank barns and outbuildings, village homes in the old crossroads settlements, and homes built from the 1960s through the 2000s on wooded or open multi-acre lots. Old houses often have large masonry chimneys and cooking-hearth fireplaces, and several generations of additions. Asphalt shingle is the most common roof, with cedar, slate and metal on some historic houses and barns.
Weather and exposure
The township's terrain runs from open hilltop farmland to steep wooded ravines and the bluffs along the Delaware River. Hilltop homes take strong wind across fields, while homes in the stream valleys and woods deal with shade, moisture, leaves and falling limbs. Winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycling that works on old stone and brick masonry and on the joints between old and new roofs.
