Roofing and chimney work in Glen Gardner
Glen Gardner is a small borough in the hills of northern Hunterdon County, set in the narrow valley of the Spruce Run along Route 31, a short distance upstream of Spruce Run Reservoir and close to Voorhees State Park. It is an old village rather than a suburb, with 19th-century and early-1900s homes lining the valley road and side streets, some later houses on the wooded slopes above, and steep, tree-covered terrain on either side.

Housing in Glen Gardner
Glen Gardner's homes are largely older village houses from the 1800s and early 1900s, with steep gable roofs, porches and brick chimneys, along with mid-century and later homes on wooded hillside lots. Asphalt shingle is the usual roof. Many homes have fireplaces or wood stoves and rely on oil, propane or wood for heat.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits in a steep, wooded valley at the edge of the Highlands. Houses on the valley floor get limited winter sun, hillsides hold snow longer than open lowland does, and dense tree cover means shade, leaves and falling limbs. Moisture lingers along the stream, and freeze-thaw cycling is hard on masonry and gutters.
