Roofing and chimney work in Flemington
Flemington is the county seat of Hunterdon County, a compact borough with a historic Main Street of brick commercial buildings and civic landmarks, surrounded by streets of Victorian and early-1900s homes. The borough is entirely enclosed by Raritan Township, whose later subdivisions and shopping areas wrap around the older center. Within the borough itself, most of what we work on is old: steep roofs with dormers and turrets, tall brick chimneys and flat roofs behind downtown parapets.

Housing in Flemington
Flemington's housing is largely Victorian and early-1900s, with steep roofs, dormers, porches and tall brick chimneys laid in soft lime mortar, along with some mid-century homes toward the borough edges. Main Street and the surrounding blocks hold brick commercial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs behind parapets. Asphalt shingle dominates the houses, with some slate and metal surviving on older buildings.
Weather and exposure
Flemington sits in open, gently rolling country, and wind reaches the borough across the surrounding farmland and development. Winters bring sustained snow cover and freeze-thaw cycling that works on old brick and flat roofs. Mature street trees shade the older blocks and drop limbs in summer thunderstorms, and the steep Victorian roofs shed snow onto porches and lower roofs below.
