North Plainfield is one of the densest municipalities in Somerset County and one of the oldest in its housing. It grew in the late 19th century as part of the wealthy commuter district that formed around the Plainfield railroad stations just over the Union County line, and the streets climbing toward the Watchung slope still hold the houses of that period: large Queen Anne and shingle-style Victorians, mansard-roofed houses, and substantial early-1900s frame homes, a great many of which were long ago divided into two, three or more apartments. Below and around them are 1920s colonials, bungalows and later capes on small lots. Route 22 cuts straight through the borough. It is a place with a great deal of very good old woodwork and a great deal of very tired glass.
Big old houses in apartment use need a plan that works unit by unit, and we sequence the work so occupied floors are never left open. We match the pane division and sash proportion of the period, keep stained and patterned panels where they can be retained and reproduce them where they cannot, and get the flashing right on mansard and dormer openings, which is where these houses actually leak. On the smaller 1920s houses it is a straightforward matched replacement.
We will count every opening, including the roof-level ones, and sequence the work around whoever is living in the building.
