Local considerations

What to know before a project in Barnsboro

  • Permits. Barnsboro is an unincorporated community, not its own municipality, so permits and inspections go through Mantua Township under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. We confirm the correct office from your property record and file for you.
  • Storms. Nor'easters and the remnants of tropical storms bring heavy wind and rain. We use high-wind shingle nailing patterns, sealed flashing and secure gutter hangers.
  • 1970s and 1980s construction. About 40% of Mantua Township homes were built before 1980. Common issues include aging roofs, original windows and siding, poor attic ventilation and lead paint in homes built before 1978.
  • Drainage. Poor grading and short downspouts cause most basement water problems. We look at both before any basement or foundation-adjacent work.
