Roofing and chimney work in West Amwell
West Amwell Township is a rural township at the southern edge of Hunterdon County, stretching from the Delaware River and the hills around Lambertville eastward across rocky, wooded ridges and farmland. Homes are spread out on large lots along country roads: old farmhouses and stone houses, mid-century ranches and capes, and newer homes set on hillsides and wooded parcels, some with views over the river valley.

Housing in West Amwell
West Amwell's housing is mostly detached homes on rural lots: older farmhouses and stone houses with barns and outbuildings, ranches, capes and split-levels from the mid-1900s, and colonials and contemporaries built later on hillside and wooded parcels. Asphalt shingle covers most homes, with metal on many outbuildings. Wood stoves and fireplaces are common.
Weather and exposure
The township's ridges rise above the Delaware valley, and homes on the slopes and hilltops take wind funneled along the valley and storms that build over the river. Wooded parcels are shaded and drop leaves and limbs, while farmland areas are open. Winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycling, and stone and old brick chimneys take the brunt of it.
