Roofing and chimney work in Hope
Hope Township is home to one of the most distinctive historic villages in New Jersey. Hope was founded by Moravian settlers in the eighteenth century, and several of their substantial stone buildings still stand in the village's historic district. Around the village, the township is rural and wooded, with farmland, the ridges of Jenny Jump State Forest and homes on large lots near Interstate 80. The Land of Make Believe amusement park is a familiar local landmark.

Housing in Hope
Hope's housing has two clear parts. The historic village holds eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings, including Moravian-era stone structures and later frame homes, with steep roofs and massive masonry or stone chimneys. Beyond the village, the township has farmhouses and late twentieth-century homes on wooded or open lots. Asphalt shingle is the common roof, and wood-burning fireplaces and stoves are widespread.
Weather and exposure
Wooded ridges, including Jenny Jump, shade many properties and drop limbs and leaves on roofs, while open farmland leaves other homes exposed to wind. Winters are cold and snowy with a long freeze-thaw season, which is particularly hard on old stone and brick masonry and on the flashing where it meets the roof.
