Roofing and chimney work in South Bound Brook
South Bound Brook is a small borough on the south bank of the Raritan River, directly across from Bound Brook and bordered by Franklin Township. The Delaware and Raritan Canal and its towpath run along the riverfront at the edge of town. Its residential streets hold modest older homes on small lots: capes, bungalows and two-story frame houses from the first half of the 1900s, postwar ranches and a smaller number of newer townhouses and homes.

Housing in South Bound Brook
South Bound Brook's housing is mostly modest single-family construction from the early and middle 1900s: story-and-a-half capes with shed or gable dormers, bungalows with low-pitched roofs and deep eaves, two-story frame houses and postwar ranches, with some newer townhouses. A few small commercial buildings carry flat roofs. Roofs are almost entirely asphalt shingle.
Weather and exposure
Proximity to the river and the canal makes the borough humid, and low-lying areas near the Raritan have a well-known history of flooding in major storms. Trees along the canal and on residential streets shade roofs and drop leaves. Winters bring ice dams, especially on story-and-a-half capes, and summer storms bring heavy rain.
