What happens before a roof changes in a Princeton historic district?
Plan for the town’s review before you order. Princeton has 21 historic preservation overlay zoning districts, and its Historic Preservation Commission reviews development applications in them.
The commission adopted new Historic Design Guidelines in September 2026, according to a Princeton news release. Read them before choosing a metal, seam style or color for a visible roof. The state’s ordinary-maintenance rule for re-roofing does not cancel that local review.
For the review, we can supply product data from our submittals and shop drawings of the profile. Our guide to copper and zinc roofs in historic districts covers the process in more depth.
Which metals suit Mercer’s older houses?
Copper and zinc for bays, porches, dormers and flashing, plus painted steel or aluminum standing seam for full roofs. We work mostly in 16 oz copper and in 0.7 or 0.8 mm zinc.
- Copper or zinc standing seam for bay windows, porch roofs and dormers, from our copper and zinc sheet metal line
- Copper flashing, valleys and chimney caps for slate or tile roofs
- Standing seam roof panels in Galvalume or aluminum, snap-lock or mechanical lock
- Box gutter liners with end caps and outlets for built-in eaves
Mixing metals takes care. Metal Sales’ Galvalume warranty excludes areas exposed to runoff from copper, so detail copper above a steel roof so its water never drains onto the Galvalume. Tell us where the copper sits when you order.
Did Mercer County’s climate zone change?
Yes. Mercer moved from zone 5A to 4A when New Jersey adopted its 2021-based codes, and DCA Bulletin 22-1 lists it with the 4A counties. Older plans may still show 5A. Designers of additions and new buildings should use 4A values, and we fabricate from the drawings they send.
What do Trenton and the Route 1 corridor need?
Roof-edge metal for older brick buildings, and facade panels for newer offices. Trenton, the county seat, and the main streets of Hightstown, Pennington and Hopewell Borough need metal coping, counter-flashing and cornice cladding.
The Route 1 corridor through West Windsor and Lawrence, plus Ewing and Hamilton, holds office, lab and institutional buildings. Their facades suit aluminum composite panels and column covers. Their low-slope roofs take ES-1 edge metal and commercial roof panels.

Mercer County questions
Does a roof change in Princeton need Historic Preservation Commission review?
If the property is in one of Princeton’s 21 historic preservation overlay districts, the commission reviews development applications there, and new design guidelines were adopted in September 2026. Check with Princeton’s historic preservation office before ordering metal.
What copper weight and zinc thickness do you use?
Mostly 16 oz copper, and zinc in 0.7 mm or 0.8 mm. Both are formed in our New Brunswick shop to your installer’s dimensions or approved shop drawings.
Do you make copper chimney caps and flashing for slate roofs?
Yes. We form copper flashing, valleys and chimney caps, mostly in 16 oz copper, to your roofer’s dimensions or a sketch with measurements.
Is there a minimum order for a small copper bay roof?
No. There is no minimum order, so one bay window or porch roof is fine. Only custom (non-stock) painted colors carry a minimum quantity.
How long do ACM panels take for an office building on Route 1?
ACM panels typically take 2-8 weeks, depending on color. Architectural jobs get shop drawings for approval before fabrication starts.
