What we do in Hillsborough
Roofing and remodeling run as separate crews with separate numbers. Call the one that matches your project.

Roofing & Exteriors
Hillsborough's colonials are large and complicated: multiple gables, several dormers, cathedral sections and often a bonus room over the garage, which means high square counts and a high flashing-detail count on the same roof. Those built between 1995 and 2005 are now reaching the end of their first architectural shingle. At the other extreme, the surviving farmhouses have steep original pitches, sometimes original standing seam or slate, and additions from several centuries meeting at awkward junctions.
- Roof Replacement in Hillsborough$9,150–$22,000

Kitchen & Bath Remodeling
Post-1990 Hillsborough housing has modern service, modern supply plumbing and square framing, so remodels are predictable and much of the scope stays inside ordinary maintenance. The farmhouse properties are the opposite: hand-framed structures with irregular joist spacing, plaster, and plumbing that was retrofitted rather than designed. Establishing which you have is the first thing a quote should do.
- Bathroom Remodeling in Hillsborough$12,000–$45,500
- Kitchen Remodeling in Hillsborough$28,000–$81,300

Hillsborough housing, and what it means for the work
Hillsborough grew faster than almost anywhere else in Somerset County through the 1990s and 2000s, producing large colonials on generous lots across most of the township. Interleaved with that are genuinely old farmhouses and outbuildings — this was farmland within living memory — plus the small historic settlements at Neshanic Station and Flagtown, and large-lot properties along the Sourland Mountain edge.

Permits in Hillsborough
Hillsborough Township Construction Office
Hillsborough homeowners ask
Do you need a permit for home improvement work in Hillsborough, NJ?
Hillsborough Township runs its own construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Hillsborough is overwhelmingly detached single-family housing, so the N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7 ordinary-maintenance exemption covers most roof covering replacements here outright. The township's older farmhouse properties and anything on a well and septic system bring separate considerations once work moves beyond the roof covering.
