Elk Township is farm country with villages scattered through it: Aura, Ferrell, Harding, Hardingville and Monroeville. Route 77 and Route 55 cut across it, and between them the lots run large. Housing here is two things at once. There is older farmhouse and crossroads stock with steep pitches and additions layered on over generations, and there are newer single-family homes sitting alone on cleared ground with nothing upwind to slow a nor’easter.
We work both kinds. On older roofs that means reading the additions and the valleys where two eras meet; on newer ones it means checking fastening and eave detail after a decade of exposure. Every replacement is pulled and inspected under permit through the Elk Township construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.
