Why Somerset County Homes Need Premium Windows

Somerset County holds three different housing worlds inside twenty-one municipalities. In the northwest — Bernardsville, Peapack-Gladstone, Far Hills, the Somerset Hills generally — are large country houses, carriage houses and estate outbuildings built between the 1880s and the 1930s, with tall multi-pane openings and a level of detail that rules stock windows out entirely. Along the Raritan are the old mill and canal towns: Somerville, Raritan, Bound Brook and Manville, dense, small-lotted, mostly built between the 1890s and the 1950s, and in the case of Bound Brook and Manville flooded repeatedly and rebuilt. Between the two extremes sit the growth townships — Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Branchburg, Franklin, Montgomery, Warren and Bernards — where farmland turned into subdivisions from the 1950s through the 2000s. Very little of the county’s glazing is younger than twenty-five years old, and the oldest of it is a century past due.

Common Window Challenges in Somerset County

• Estate-scale openings in the Somerset Hills — the country houses of the northwest have tall, multi-pane and leaded windows that have to be reproduced, not substituted for
• Repeat flooding along the Raritan — Bound Brook and Manville have taken severe flooding more than once in living memory, and rebuilt lower floors need glazing detailed accordingly
• Mill-town lot spacing — Somerville, Raritan and Bound Brook were laid out before driveways, and how a crew reaches a side wall is a real constraint on the job
• Postwar originals in the older suburbs — Bridgewater, Warren and Franklin still hold a great deal of untouched 1950s and 1960s wood and aluminum glazing
• First-generation vinyl in the growth townships — Hillsborough, Montgomery and Branchburg houses from the 1980s and 1990s are failing at the seal on schedule
• Two commuter lines, two noise profiles — the Raritan Valley Line through Somerville, Bound Brook and Bridgewater and the Gladstone branch through the Hills both run close to housing

Our Somerset County Window Services

There is no single Somerset job.

• In the Hills it is custom fabrication — reproducing muntin patterns, arched heads and leaded panels in insulated form, and working with stone and stucco openings laid by hand.
• In the river boroughs it is careful work in tight, older houses, with flood-aware detailing where it applies.
• In the townships it is scale: whole-house replacement across twenty openings with one profile and one color, and low-E glass specified per elevation.
