Downe Township runs down to the Delaware Bay, and its bayfront settlements are among the most exposed inhabited places in New Jersey. Fortescue is a fishing community, long known for its weakfish, and its houses are small bay cottages and camps, many of them standing on pilings — not because a code required it after a storm, but because anyone building on that shoreline learned early that the water comes up. There is no dune system here, no beach replenishment program and no resort economy to fund either; the bay has been taking ground steadily and some properties have simply gone. Inland, Newport and Dividing Creek are ordinary rural villages of older frame houses set among farmland and woods, and they are a completely different job from the bayfront.
On the bayfront we specify for genuine exposure: corrosion-resistant hardware, units rated for real pressure, and head and sill flashing detailed for rain arriving horizontally. Where a cottage was raised informally, we make the framing sound before setting anything into it. In the inland villages the work is plainer, and we do it the same way we would anywhere — every opening measured, one consistent specification.
We do come this far down, and we will tell you plainly what will and will not last on a bayfront wall.
