The Somerset houses we work on.
Somerset counts about 27,089 housing units, and the median one went up in 1986 — in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Roofs from this period are big enough that five-inch gutter with too few downspouts is a real limitation. Hanger spacing matters at these run lengths, and the original spacing rarely holds up.
Two- and three-family homes drain a lot of roof into short runs with very little room for downspouts, so outlet placement matters more here than trough size.
What Somerset weather does to a house
Somerset sits in Somerset County — affluent suburbs and open country around the Somerset Hills. 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.
