The Basking Ridge houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1987 at the median, across roughly 10,646 units.
These went up with ridge ventilation starting to appear, plywood decking, and attached garages whose roof-to-wall junction was rarely flashed properly. The decking is generally sound, which keeps these jobs predictable — the variable is ventilation, which often was not done right.
The mix of single-family houses and two- and three-family homes here means both pitched and low-slope roofs on the same block, and the two are genuinely different jobs with different materials and prices.
Basking Ridge covers about 7 square miles and is home to roughly 28,114 people.
What Basking Ridge weather does to a house
Somerset County is affluent suburbs and open country around the Somerset Hills, and Basking Ridge is part of it. Elevation is the local variable here — around 335 feet, with little shelter. Wind damage here follows a pattern: rakes first, then ridge, then whatever the first two exposed. High-wind nailing patterns and a sealed ridge detail are standard on exposed sites like this.
