A Quaker village settled in 1677, with roofs to match. Steep pitch, brick chimneys and deep valleys decide the work in Crosswicks.
Crosswicks was settled in 1677 by Quaker families and the village still reads that way. The Friends meeting house on Main Street dates to 1773, and the village core is a listed National Register historic district of roughly ninety-five contributing buildings. Houses are brick and frame, two and three stories, with steep pitch, tall chimneys and additions that went on by hand over two hundred years.
Work on a house like this is mostly detail work. We rebuild valleys rather than lay over them, set counterflashing into chimney joints, and match the shingle weight to framing that was never drawn for a modern roof. Permits are filed with the Chesterfield Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Not through us, and not through the state construction code. The village core sits in a National Register historic district, which is a listing rather than a design rule for a private homeowner. Ask the Chesterfield Township construction office what applies to your address before you order material, and we will work to whatever answer you get.
Chesterfield Township. Crosswicks is a community inside the township, not a municipality of its own, so the Chesterfield Township construction office reviews the application and sends the inspector. We file under our New Jersey registration, 13VH14277900, and meet the inspector ourselves.
Often yes, because sound slate outlasts asphalt by decades and what usually fails first is the flashing, the nails and the underlayment at the eaves. We look at whether the slate itself is delaminating before recommending anything, and if it is, we lay out both the slate and the asphalt options honestly.
Yes, most winters. Snow melts over a warm attic, the water refreezes at the cold eave, and it backs up under the shingle into the wall below. On old houses with shallow eaves and no soffit intake, that is the most common source of interior damage we find.
