Roofing and chimney work in Far Hills
Far Hills is one of the smallest boroughs in Somerset County, set in the open, rolling horse country of the Somerset Hills and known for the annual Far Hills Race Meeting steeplechase. It has a small village center near its train station on the Gladstone Branch, and beyond that, large properties with country homes, estates and outbuildings such as barns, stables and carriage houses. There are relatively few homes, and most sit on substantial acreage.

We specialize in asphalt shingle and flat roofing, and on estates and outbuildings with slate, cedar or metal roofs we can assess and advise.

Housing in Far Hills
Far Hills has a small number of homes. Near the village center there are older houses on smaller lots; elsewhere the borough consists mostly of country homes and estates on large properties, many with barns, stables and other outbuildings. Roof coverings are mixed: asphalt shingle is common, and slate, cedar and metal appear on older estates and farm buildings. Many of the larger homes have substantial masonry chimneys.
Weather and exposure
Open pasture and rolling hills leave many Far Hills roofs exposed to wind, while homes set in wooded sections deal with shade, debris and fallen limbs. As part of the Somerset Hills, the borough is colder and snowier than the eastern part of the state, with more freeze-thaw cycles on chimneys and ice damming at the eaves of older houses.
