How do delivery and pickup work for Somerset jobs?
Somerset borders Middlesex, so most jobs are a short drive from our New Brunswick shop. Delivery is quoted with the order, and pickup is available during Monday–Friday 7 AM–5 PM.
- Quotes: written, within 24-48 hours of receiving your cut list, sketch or plans.
- Lead times: standing seam, coping and trim typically take 1-2 days, depending on color and gauge. ACM panels take 2-8 weeks, depending on color.
- Long panels: send the longest length on the cut list and describe the lane or driveway, so the delivery can be planned around it.
- No minimum order. A single dormer’s worth of flashing is fine. Custom colors carry a minimum quantity.
- Price: have a lower written quote for the same parts? Send it with your request and we will match or beat it.
What does climate zone 5A mean for a Somerset roof?
It mostly changes insulation targets for new buildings and additions, not the panels on a re-roof. DCA Bulletin 22-1 places Somerset in zone 5A with Morris and Hunterdon, and renovation work follows the Rehabilitation Subcode instead.
For snow, state guidance asks designers to pull a ground snow load for the exact address and allows 30 psf in Somerset only as a fallback; our guide to snow guards for metal roofs covers where retention belongs.
Seam choice matters on roofs that hold snow. We run snap-lock panels, typically for slopes of 3:12 and up, and mechanical lock panels, typically down to 1/2:12 over solid deck. Mechanical lock suits low slopes and long runs, because it is rated to a lower slope. Our guide to snap-lock vs mechanical lock compares them.
Zoning, homeowner association rules and local historic district reviews can decide the metal and color, so settle them before the coil is ordered. A new roof covering on a detached one- or two-family house generally needs no construction permit, while attached and commercial buildings generally do.
Which Somerset buildings need metal panels and trim?
The county has three distinct building stocks, and each one orders different parts.
Hill country estates and farms
Bedminster, Far Hills, Peapack-Gladstone and Bernardsville have large older houses, carriage houses and barns. Roofers order standing seam roof panels, 16 oz copper for bays and porches, and chimney caps. Barns and run-in sheds take barn and pole-building panels.
Office campuses on I-287 and Route 22
Bridgewater, Warren, Bernards Township and Franklin Township hold large office and lab buildings. Facade updates call for aluminum composite panels, column covers and metal wall panels, with shop drawings for approval.
River boroughs
Somerville, Bound Brook, Raritan and Manville have older brick and frame main streets. Their roof edges need metal coping, counter-flashing and soffit and fascia bent to match the old profile.
Estate roofs often have many valleys, dormers and chimneys. Send a roof plan or a sketch with each plane’s length, and we cut the panels and form the valley, ridge and wall trims to match.

Somerset County questions
Do you make copper for bays and porch roofs in the Somerset Hills?
Yes, mostly in 16 oz copper, along with zinc in 0.7 or 0.8 mm. Panels, flashing and chimney caps are formed to your roofer’s dimensions.
Should my roofer in Bernardsville or Bedminster order snap-lock or mechanical lock?
It depends on slope, run length and how much snow the roof holds. Mechanical lock suits low slopes and long runs; snap-lock suits steeper, simpler roofs. Send the roof plan and pitch, and we quote the seam that fits.
Do you make panels for barns in the Somerset Hills?
Yes. We roll-form PBR and AG panels to the lengths on your builder’s cut list, with matching trim, for barns, run-in sheds and equipment buildings.
Can you supply ACM for an office building in Bridgewater or Warren?
Yes. We route and fold ACM panels to approved shop drawings. Lead time is 2-8 weeks, depending on color, and your panel installer sets them.
Can a Somerset order be picked up instead of delivered?
Yes. Pick it up at our New Brunswick shop during Monday–Friday 7 AM–5 PM, or have it delivered to the job, with the delivery cost quoted with the order.
