Roofing and chimney work in Hampton
Hampton is a small borough in northern Hunterdon County near the Musconetcong River and the Warren County line. It grew in the 19th century as a railroad junction town, originally known as Hampton Junction, and its housing still reflects that era: modest frame houses on small lots along a compact grid of streets, with a few older commercial and civic buildings and some later homes toward the edges.

Housing in Hampton
Hampton's homes are mostly late-1800s and early-1900s frame houses built close together on small lots, many with simple gable roofs, front porches, rear additions and single brick chimneys, mixed with mid-century and later homes. Asphalt shingle is the standard roof, and some older buildings have low-slope sections.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits in the hilly country near the Musconetcong valley. Mature street trees shade many houses and drop limbs in thunderstorms, winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycling, and older gutters and porch roofs collect ice. Homes on higher streets are more exposed to wind.
