Roofing and chimney work in Bedminster
Bedminster is a large, mostly rural township in the Somerset Hills where the North Branch of the Raritan River and the Lamington River run through rolling farm and estate country. Much of the land is in horse farms, open fields and large wooded properties, with older farmhouses, barns and country estates set well back from the road. In sharp contrast, the area around Pluckemin near the I-78 and I-287 interchange holds a large planned community of townhouses and condominiums built from the late 1980s onward, along with corporate office buildings.

Housing in Bedminster
Bedminster's housing falls into two very different groups. The rural part of the township has older farmhouses, country estates and newer large homes on acreage, often with barns, carriage houses and other outbuildings, and with a mix of asphalt, slate, cedar and metal roofs. The Pluckemin area holds a large late-1980s and 1990s planned development of attached townhouses and condominium buildings with asphalt shingle roofs and prefabricated fireplaces. Office buildings near the interstate interchange carry flat and low-slope commercial roofs.
Weather and exposure
Open fields and pasture leave many rural Bedminster roofs exposed to wind with nothing to slow it, while estate homes tucked into wooded lots deal with shade, moss and branch debris instead. As part of the Somerset Hills, the township sees colder winters and more snow than the eastern part of the state, with ice dams on older homes and freeze-thaw wear on masonry. Lowland properties along the North Branch and the Lamington River sit in damp, foggy river bottoms.
