Why Dennis Township Homes Need Premium Windows

Dennis Township is the quietest part of Cape May County and by some distance the oldest-looking. Dennisville was a shipbuilding and cedar-mining village on Dennis Creek, which runs west out of it into the Delaware Bay marshes, and its older houses go back to the late 1700s and early 1800s — plain, well-proportioned frame homes built by people who worked timber for a living, many of them clad in shingles split from the white cedar dug out of the surrounding swamps. At South Seaville there is a Methodist camp meeting whose cottages date to the mid-1800s, tiny buildings set very close together around a green. Beyond both is farmland, cedar swamp and woodland with scattered farmhouses, the village of Ocean View toward the Route 9 side, and along Route 47 a scattering of later ranch and modular houses.

Common Window Challenges in Dennis Township

• Early sash patterns — houses from the shipbuilding era carry small-pane divided-light sashes whose proportions are the whole character of the facade and cannot be approximated with a flat applied grille
• Camp-meeting cottages — the South Seaville cottages are very small, very close together and built lightly, so both the units and the way they are installed have to suit a tiny, delicate building
• Cedar swamp humidity — creek and swamp ground keeps ambient moisture high all year, and that damp works steadily into the base of wood frames and sills
• Farmhouses grown by addition — a 1830s core with an 1890s wing and a 1960s kitchen gives three framing methods and three window generations on one house
• Timber-framed rough openings — old openings in hand-framed walls are rarely square or standard, and a stock unit shimmed into them never seals properly
• Cedar shingle cladding — a shingled wall needs the head, sill and jamb trim detailed quite differently from clapboard or siding, and an opening flashed badly into shingle courses leaks where nobody can see it happening

Our Dennis Township Window Services

On the old houses we measure every opening individually, build to size and reproduce the divided-light pattern the house was designed with, so the front elevation still reads correctly. Where framing has moved or rotted we make it sound before setting the new unit, and on shingled walls we weave the courses back in around the trim rather than caulking over the join. On the camp-meeting cottages we work at the scale of the building. On newer rural houses the job is quick and straightforward.
