Roofing and chimney work in Bernards
Bernards Township takes in Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons and West Millington, and its housing spans more than two centuries. The historic center of Basking Ridge has older homes around its village core, while the bulk of the township was developed from the 1960s through the 2000s with colonials, larger custom homes and townhouse and condominium communities. The Passaic River forms the eastern boundary, and the township includes Lord Stirling Park, which adjoins the wetlands of the Great Swamp. Corporate office campuses sit near I-287 and I-78.

Housing in Bernards
Most of Bernards' housing dates from the 1960s through the 2000s: center-hall colonials, split-levels and contemporaries from the earlier decades, and large two-story homes with complex rooflines, multiple gables and masonry or prefabricated fireplaces from the 1980s onward. Townhouse and condominium communities are common, including part of a large planned development shared with Bedminster. The older village areas of Basking Ridge and Liberty Corner hold 1800s and early-1900s homes. Corporate campuses near the interstates carry large flat and low-slope roofs.
Weather and exposure
Bernards is heavily wooded, and mature oaks and other hardwoods hang over many lots, dropping leaves, branches and acorns into valleys and gutters and keeping north-facing slopes damp. The eastern side of the township borders wetlands along the Passaic River and the Great Swamp area, where humidity and fog are common. Winters are colder than the eastern part of the state, with ice dams on homes with older insulation and freeze-thaw wear on chimneys.
