Historic district constraints
Work in the older districts has to respect the streetscape as well as the building, which affects material choice and sometimes the permit route.
The state capital, with dense row housing, a historic core and a large institutional footprint - three different roofing problems inside one city.
Plus every adjoining municipality - see the Mercer County page for all 10 areas we cover.
Row housing dominates, which puts the party wall and the flat rear section at the top of the list every time we are called out.
Work in the older districts has to respect the streetscape as well as the building, which affects material choice and sometimes the permit route.
Row and semi-detached homes carry flat rear sections that were often shingled below minimum slope. Those need flat and low-slope systems, not asphalt.
Shared walls between attached homes are the most common leak path we trace in this housing type, and the hardest to find without attic access.
Narrow frontages and street parking mean the dumpster and staging plan gets agreed before the crew arrives, not on the morning.

The ones we trace most often here are historic district constraints, low-slope rear additions, party-wall and parapet flashing and access and staging on tight lots. Each is described above, and all of them are checked on every free inspection in Trenton.
The inspection and the written estimate that follows cost nothing and carry no obligation. You get photographs and a condition report either way.
All of them. Our crews work Chambersburg, Mill Hill, the North Ward, Hiltonia, Glen Afton and Downtown, and every ZIP code in Trenton is inside the standard service area with the same response times.
The closest areas we have written up. Everything between them is covered from the Mercer County page.
