Roofing and chimney work in Millstone
Millstone is a very small borough on the Millstone River, surrounded by Hillsborough and facing Franklin across the river. It is essentially a historic village: a short stretch of older homes, many from the 1700s and 1800s, along with a handful of later houses and a few small non-residential buildings. The village served as the Somerset County seat for a period in the 1700s. There are few homes in total, and much of the housing is old and historically significant.

Housing in Millstone
Millstone's housing is mostly historic: 18th- and 19th-century frame and masonry homes, with some later houses mixed in. Roofs are typically steep and simple, and some older homes may have wood, slate or metal roofing or layers of asphalt over earlier coverings. Many houses have large masonry chimneys, sometimes at each gable end.
Weather and exposure
Millstone sits on low ground along the Millstone River, with damp air and mature trees. Older homes with limited insulation and ventilation are prone to ice dams in winter and condensation in their attics. Fallen leaves and branches from mature trees load roofs and gutters.
