Sussex is the mountain and lake corner of New Jersey — the Kittatinny ridge along its western edge, Highlands terrain across the rest, and the lowest population density of any county in the state. Its defining housing story is not suburban at all. From the 1910s through the 1950s, developers laid out lake communities around Lake Hopatcong, Lake Mohawk, Culver Lake, Cranberry Lake, Highland Lakes and dozens of smaller waters, and sold small lots for summer cottages. Those cottages were built for July: single-wall construction in many cases, no insulation, single-pane sash, porches open to the air. Over the following decades almost all of them were converted to year-round use, one owner and one addition at a time. The county also has the coldest winters and the deepest snow in New Jersey. A house built for a warm-weather weekend, then asked to hold heat through a January on a ridge, will show you exactly where its windows are.
Cottage conversions need the frame treated as seriously as the glass: proper insulated units, real weatherstripping, and air sealing at the rough opening where most of the loss actually happens. Where a house has grown in stages, we can bring mismatched openings back to a consistent size and sightline. Enclosed porches get glazing rated for a room people intend to use in February, and lakeside elevations get materials chosen for constant moisture.
