Roofing and chimney work in Milford
Milford is a small river borough on the Delaware in northwestern Hunterdon County, connected by bridge to Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania, and surrounded on its New Jersey side by Holland and Alexandria townships. Its compact center holds 1800s and early-1900s homes and storefronts close to the river, with the land climbing steeply behind the town. It is a village-scale place, and most of its roofs and chimneys are old.

Housing in Milford
Milford's housing is mostly 1800s and early-1900s frame and brick homes on small village lots, with steep roofs, porches and brick chimneys, plus some later homes on the slopes and edges of the borough. A few older buildings on the main street hold shops and businesses with flat or low-slope roofs. Asphalt shingle is the most common roof, with some older metal still in place.
Weather and exposure
Milford sits in the Delaware valley with wooded hillsides rising behind it. River humidity and the shade of the slopes keep roofs and masonry damp, while the valley channels storms along the river. Winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycling that works on old brick, and mature trees on the hillsides drop leaves and limbs onto the roofs below.
