Roofing and chimney work in Knowlton
Knowlton Township sits in the northwest corner of Warren County where the Delaware River leaves the Delaware Water Gap. Interstate 80 crosses into Pennsylvania here at Columbia, the Paulins Kill meets the Delaware at the same village, and the concrete arches of the old Paulinskill Viaduct stand over the valley farther upstream. Away from the river the township is open farmland and wooded hillsides rising toward the Kittatinny Ridge, with small historic villages rather than a single town center.

Housing in Knowlton
Knowlton's housing is spread thin across a large rural township. The river villages hold 1800s and early-1900s frame homes with steep roofs, porches and old brick chimneys, while the farms carry farmhouses and outbuildings of similar age. Later homes from the 1960s onward sit on large lots along the rural roads, mostly with asphalt shingle roofs. Some farm buildings and custom homes have standing-seam metal. Wood heat is common throughout.
Weather and exposure
The Delaware River corridor and the Water Gap funnel wind along the valley, and the open hillsides above it have little shelter. River fog and damp air settle in the low ground near the Delaware and Paulins Kill, while the higher ground near the Kittatinny Ridge holds snow longer. Winters are long and cold, and wooded lots add shade, moss and falling limbs in summer storms.
