The Clinton houses we work on.
Housing here dates to 1984 at the median, across roughly 4,989 units.
Plywood decking, three-tab shingles and an attached garage are the constants on housing from these years. The decking is generally sound, which keeps these jobs predictable — the variable is ventilation, which often was not done right.
Clinton covers about 1 square miles and is home to roughly 13,350 people. Clinton was incorporated in 1865, 161 years ago.
What Clinton weather does to a house
Hunterdon County is rolling farmland and river towns, with real winter weather and long driveways, and Clinton is part of it. This is the high, cold corner of New Jersey. Under New Jersey's construction code Hunterdon County is designed for 35 pounds per square foot of ground snow, among the highest figures in the state. The weight itself is rarely the problem; the problem is meltwater refreezing at a cold eave and backing up under the shingles. The fix is not a bigger gutter; it is ice-and-water shield carried well past the interior wall line, and a ventilated attic that keeps the deck cold.

“Honest about everything. They showed up on time, kept the property clean, and the roof came out amazing. Made everything stress free.”
Straight answers.
Roofing in Clinton typically runs $14,000 to $35,000. 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 1984 and 38% of the stock built before 1980, Clinton sees more of that variation than a newer town would. That is all visible at the free inspection, so the written number accounts for it.
Yes. New Jersey issues construction permits at the municipal level, so a roof in Clinton is permitted through the local construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code. We pull it and meet the inspector; you file nothing.
It does. Hunterdon County carries a design ground snow load of 35 pounds per square foot under New Jersey's construction code — among the highest in the state. In practice that means ice-and-water shield carried well up the eaves and a properly ventilated attic, because ice dams, not the weight itself, are what damage homes here.
