The oldest part
of this home dates back to 1703. An addition was added in the
late 1700's. Located in Skillman, NJ, near Princeton, Blawenburg,
and Hopewell, on the olde main drag, it could have a story to tell.
We installed stone veneer to the foundation, James Hardie Siding, Real
Wood Shutters, and custom trim finishing.
Some History of Iron & Steel Sheet Roofing Raw sheet iron is first known to have been manufactured in North America by Robert Morris, who had a rolling mill near Trenton, New Jersey. Morris is more notably known as a Revolutionary War financier....
When
considering the finest siding materials on the planet, please make very
certain that you engage the services of an experienced Fiber Cement Siding
Installation Contractor. Remember that a Home Improvement Contractor that is credentialed
in Siding & Roofing Installations such as Asphalt, Wood and Vinyl, does not necessarily possess
the attributes and the experience that is vitally mandatory to successfully
install specialty products like Fiber Cement Siding, high end Roofing on Restoration Projects, and specialty work that requires keen attentiveness to details, and experience.
In the Federal
Style reminiscent of the
fledgling union forging ahead with architectural statements

bays and curved copper roofs, we have renovated the exteriors

NJ.
Folk Victorian Era: Usually near the old railroad tracks in the old towns across the northeast, one can find the old farmhouses that were dressed with the Victorian artistry of the opulence of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. It was when the railroad afforded folks an easy ride to big city and a good look at the Victorian era architecture. These travelers would return and carry out a building project with the simplicity of a farmhouse....
Wonderful old Folk Victorian Still possessing all of its original charm and unique details, this wonderful expression of architecture was brightened, polished, and made energy efficient without losing any of its originality and splendor. The Plaster of Paris Greek / Ionic style Capitols were reportedly added years ago by a prior owner. It is unclear as to style the orignal Capitols or Column Heads. Also featured below..
The Garage on the property was a mid-twentieth century detatched structure, but it was improperly constructed and was ready to collapse. We demolished the original structure and created a "Folk Victorian" Garage.
This charming Folk Victorian had Asbestos Reinforced Cement Shingle Siding from the cover-all days of the mid-20th century. Under the shingles was the original wood siding that covered empty walls. Like the Whitehouse Station home, we removed the siding and installed batt and rigid insulation, with solid sheathing on the walls. A Beaded Cedarmill James Hardie Siding was then installed. The Period Cornice of Old Growth Wood was retained and re-finished. A new Roof was installed and a Garage was torn down and rebuilt.
On the Ocean in Deal, NJ, the ongoing work on this relic of the old shoreline signifies the importance of engaging the right contractor. Multi-talented craftsmen worked to restore this mansion that once dominated the shoreline of this exclusive community. Also featured below..
Original blueprints were made available by Church staff. A plan was devised including custom sized Andersen Flexiframe Windows. Sills were to be rebuilt straight with an outward slope to provide a true watershed away from the openings of the windows. Project has been in service for years. Leaks are no longer a problem.

This Contemporary
Home's Cedar Clapboard exterior was literally rotting away.
At 17 years young, this home was looking ragged. Cedar was
not an option because today's hybrid, fast growing, immature
woods don't hold the natural oils they once did. They decay
rapidly and they are expensive. Hardiplank by James Hardie
was the answer with a 25 year warranted coating and a 50 year
product warranty from James Hardie.
