The New Brunswick houses we work on.
The typical home in New Brunswick was built in 1968, and of the 16,854 housing units here the median sits squarely through the 1960s and early 1970s. About 62% predate 1980. A little over 26% were standing before 1940.
Multi-level rooflines dump water from one plane onto another, so the gutter that overflows is rarely the one that is clogged. Fixing these properly means changing where the water goes, not just cleaning what is there.
On attached buildings the gutter and the roof edge are one detail, and the water has nowhere to go but the sidewalk unless the leaders are carried properly. That is most of the work here.
New Brunswick has been its own borough since 1784. Two centuries of building means the housing stock here is genuinely mixed, and no two streets are the same job.
What New Brunswick weather does to a house
New Brunswick sits in Middlesex County — one of the busiest and most diverse counties in the state, built out in every decade since the war. Inland New Jersey does not have one dramatic weather problem; it has the freeze-thaw cycle, and it runs all winter. Water gets into a small opening, freezes, widens it, and comes back the next night. Over a few seasons that is what turns a nail pop into a leak, and a hairline crack in flashing into a stained ceiling. It is also what pulls gutters off a fascia — ice loads a trough far beyond what water alone ever would.

Straight answers.
Gutter work in New Brunswick typically runs $1,200 to $3,500. What moves a given house within that band is size, pitch and what is already on the roof — and with a median build year of 1968, 62% of the stock built before 1980 and a lot of attached and multi-family building, New Brunswick sees more of that variation than a newer town would. We work that out at the inspection, not after the job starts.
You do, and we take care of it. Permits for a gutter system come from the New Brunswick construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code, and we pull the permit, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector ourselves.
It changes what we look for. With roughly 62% of New Brunswick housing predating 1980, plank decking, stacked layers and improvised flashing are all common — so the inspection covers them and the written estimate reflects whatever is actually there.
