Somerville is the county seat, a small borough built around a courthouse and a Main Street, and it is older and denser than every township that surrounds it. Its residential streets were laid out on a grid in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and filled with frame houses set close together: Queen Anne and shingled Victorians on the larger lots, then foursquares, bungalows and 1920s colonials, with two-family houses through the blocks nearest the center. A Raritan Valley Line station sits in the middle of it, which is why the borough was built dense in the first place and why its downtown has been adding apartments again lately. What has not changed is the window stock in the older houses — tall wood double-hungs, a large share of them original.
Borough houses need the sash proportion right and the access planned. We replace painted-shut double-hungs with units that match the original pane division and actually operate, fabricate curved and angled sash for turrets and gable ends, and handle two-family buildings floor by floor so no tenant is left with an open wall. Where noise is the complaint we specify laminated glass and check the frame seal, which is usually where the sound is really getting in.
We will measure your Somerville house, work out the side-elevation access, and set out what matching the original sash pattern involves.
