Bound Brook’s building story cannot be told without the water. The borough is a small, tightly packed place between the Raritan River and the higher ground to the north, built early and built dense — a rail junction and mill town whose frame houses, two-family homes and brick Main Street mostly went up between the 1890s and the 1940s on narrow lots. It has also flooded, badly and repeatedly. Hurricane Floyd put the downtown under water in 1999, and the Raritan came up again during Ida in 2021. A federal flood-control levee and floodwall system now protects part of the borough, and a great many lower floors here have been gutted and rebuilt at least once. That combination — old, dense, wood-framed housing plus a history of water in the first floor — makes window work in Bound Brook a different proposition from the townships next door.
In a town that has taken water and been rebuilt, we open the opening before we order. That means checking the framing behind the trim for old rot, confirming that a rebuilt wall’s rough opening is what it appears to be, and rebuilding sills where they have gone soft. We favor clad exteriors and rot-resistant materials on lower floors, size sash to the original proportions on the older frame houses, and plan access carefully on side elevations where there is barely room for a ladder.
We will check what is behind the trim as well as what is in the opening, which matters more here than in most places.
