Roofing and chimney work in Washington Township
Washington Township surrounds Washington Borough in the Pohatcong valley, stretching from the valley floor onto the wooded ridges on either side. Its history follows the Morris Canal, and the old canal village of Port Colden lies within the township. Today it is mostly residential, with subdivisions climbing the slopes, farmland still in the valley, and the Brass Castle area among its more settled neighborhoods.

Housing in Washington Township
Most of Washington Township's homes were built from the 1960s onward: split-levels, ranches, bi-levels and colonials in subdivisions, with larger homes on wooded hillside lots. Older farmhouses and 1800s homes remain in the valley and in the old canal settlements. Asphalt shingle is the standard roof, masonry fireplaces are common on the 1960s and 1970s homes, and prefab fireplaces in framed chases appear in later construction.
Weather and exposure
The township spans valley floor and ridge slopes, so conditions change with elevation. Hillside homes take wind and hold snow longer, while valley homes sit in cold, damp air with frost and fog. Wooded lots on the slopes bring shade, debris and limbs from summer storms and winter ice, and sustained freeze-thaw affects roofs and masonry everywhere.
