Burlington City was founded in the 1670s and served as a capital of the province of West Jersey. It is one of the oldest towns in the state and still looks it: brick and frame houses standing shoulder to shoulder on a grid running back from the Delaware, with Georgian and Federal fronts, dormers set into steep roofs, and nineteenth-century layers added on top. Much of the old town is a designated historic district. The river is the other constant here. Houses a block or two from the water take wind straight off the Delaware and the humidity that comes with it, and the oldest of them stand on masonry that has been absorbing and shedding moisture for three centuries. Original sash in these houses is single-glazed, weight-hung, and not something that exists on a shelf.
Work in the old town is careful and slow by nature. We record the existing sash pattern before anything comes out, size units to the actual opening rather than the nearest standard, and rebuild the jamb where three centuries of water have got into it. Head and sill flashing gets extra attention on the river-facing elevations, where driven rain does the damage. Where a house sits inside the historic district the visible profile stays as it was.
We will look at the river-facing walls first, since that is where these houses usually fail, and give you an opening-by-opening assessment.
