Burlington County’s seat, with High Street housing that predates 1800 and steep, complicated rooflines to match it.
Mount Holly has been the county seat since the 1790s, and it counted more than 250 dwellings by 1800. The blocks around High Street and Mill Race Village hold much of that history: brick and frame houses on narrow lots, steep pitches, dormers, and more chimneys per roof than anywhere else nearby. Later neighborhoods ring the old center, and Clermont sits out at the township edge.
Old roofs are detail work. Chimney counterflashing, dormer cheeks, deep valleys between wings added across two centuries, and slate where it has survived. We repair what can honestly be repaired, and replace with a weight and profile that suit the house. Permits are filed with the Mount Holly Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

On a house this old the covering is rarely the problem. The leak is at a chimney, a dormer or a valley that has already been patched once or twice.
Counterflashing cut into old masonry is the first thing to check for leaks.
Two centuries of additions leave junctions that need metal, not just shingle.
Where slate survives, replacing broken pieces often beats converting the whole roof.
The Mount Holly Township construction office issues the permit and schedules the inspection.
Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
Usually yes. Where the original material is slate, repair in kind keeps the appearance intact. Where asphalt has already replaced something older, we match profile and color to the street rather than to a catalogue. The parts that matter visually on these houses are the ridge line and the chimney details.
The Mount Holly Township construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Being the county seat does not mean the county handles building permits; that is the township’s job. We file the application, coordinate the inspection and close the permit out when the work passes.
Then the flashing was sealed rather than rebuilt. On old masonry, counterflashing has to be cut into a mortar joint and lapped over step flashing so water is directed out of the joint. Roofing cement over the top looks finished and fails within a couple of freeze-thaw winters, every time.
Often, yes. Slate outlives the nails and the flashing holding it, so a roof shedding pieces may need re-hanging in sections plus new valley and chimney metal rather than a full replacement. When slate starts delaminating across entire slopes, conversion becomes the honest recommendation.
