Roofing and chimney work in East Amwell
East Amwell Township occupies the southeastern corner of Hunterdon County, and it is really two landscapes. The northern part is the open farmland of the Amwell Valley around the historic village of Ringoes, while the south rises onto the Sourland Mountain, a long, heavily wooded ridge with rocky soils, stream ravines and homes tucked into the forest. Much of the township's farmland is preserved, and housing is spread out on farms and large lots.

Housing in East Amwell
East Amwell's housing includes 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses, some of stone, with barns and outbuildings; older village homes around Ringoes; and homes built from the 1960s through the 2000s, from ranches and contemporaries to larger colonials, on multi-acre lots in the valley and in the Sourland woods. Asphalt shingle is the dominant roof, with metal common on barns. Wood stoves and fireplaces are widely used, and most homes rely on oil, propane or wood rather than natural gas.
Weather and exposure
Exposure depends on which part of the township a home is in. In the Amwell Valley, open farmland lets wind reach houses from all sides and summer storms sweep across the fields. On the Sourland Mountain, tall hardwoods shade roofs, drop limbs and leaves and keep shingles damp, and higher ground holds snow longer. Freeze-thaw cycling affects masonry and flashing everywhere in the township.
