The Far Hills houses we work on.
The typical home in Far Hills was built in 1988, and of the 452 housing units here the median sits squarely in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Plywood decking, three-tab shingles and an attached garage are the constants on housing from these years. These are the most straightforward full replacements we do, provided the garage junction gets proper flashing.
Big lots and heavy tree cover produce two recurring problems here: north slopes that stay shaded and grow moss, and limb damage after every real storm.
With around 948 people spread across 5 square miles, properties here sit far apart — long driveways, mature trees and plenty of room to work. Far Hills has been its own borough since 1921. It was carved out of Bernards Township.
What Far Hills weather does to a house
Somerset County is affluent suburbs and open country around the Somerset Hills, and Far Hills is part of it. Nothing extreme happens to roofs in this part of the state. What happens instead is water freezing and thawing, night after night. Every cycle widens whatever gap the last one made. A nail pop becomes a leak, a hairline split in flashing becomes a stained ceiling, and none of it happens fast enough to notice. Flashing and underlayment are what stop it, and both are invisible once the job is done — which is exactly why they get skipped.

“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 Far Hills 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 1988 and 36% of the stock built before 1980, Far Hills sees more of that variation than a newer town would. The inspection settles it before you get a number.
