Morris County

Colonials, center-hall homes and newer builds on wooded lots, often with cedar or fiber cement and a good deal of painted trim. Tree cover is the defining factor here. Shaded roofs hold moisture and grow moss, gutters fill fast in October, and north-facing walls stay damp long after the rest of the house has dried out. We size gutters and specify materials with that in mind.

Morris is also where homeowners most often ask for fiber cement and PVC trim rather than vinyl, and where the detail work around porticos, columns and dormers is worth doing properly.
