Roofing and chimney work in Lafayette
Lafayette Township is a rural community in central Sussex County, set in the valley of the Paulins Kill with Route 15 and Route 94 crossing it. Farmland, old farmhouses and barns still define much of the township, along with a small historic crossroads center and Lafayette Village, the shopping complex built in a traditional village style. The Paulinskill Valley Trail follows the former rail line through the township.

Housing in Lafayette
Lafayette's building stock includes 19th- and early-20th-century farmhouses, many enlarged over the years, along with barns and agricultural outbuildings, scattered ranches and colonials built from the mid-20th century onward on larger rural lots, and a modest amount of commercial space along the main roads. Asphalt shingle covers most homes; barns and outbuildings often have metal roofs, and older farmhouses may have tall masonry chimneys.
Weather and exposure
Open fields give wind a long run at Lafayette's homes and barns, and snow drifts across exposed lots. The Paulins Kill valley holds cold air and morning fog, so roofs and masonry stay damp longer on still winter days. Hedgerows and mature yard trees drop limbs in summer storms, and the county's long freeze-thaw season applies here too.
