OVERVIEW
Exterior work planned around the house, and the association or township rules it sits under.
HOW IT WORKS HERE
Check the house, check the rules, then build.
Jobs in Bernards Township often involve an association or a permit question, so we sort those out before the schedule is set.
01
Walk the house
We inspect the roof, gutters, siding, and windows, and photograph what we find so you can see it too.
02
Confirm the rules
Association responsibility, architectural review, historic district status, and township permit requirements, checked up front.
03
Scope & submittal
An itemized written scope, plus product specs and colors packaged for your association if it needs to approve them.
04
Install & walkthrough
Our own crew does the work, sweeps the yard for nails, and walks the finished job with you.
Exterior contractor for Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, and Lyons
SGM Home Restoration (NJ HIC #13VH13723900) works throughout Bernards Township: the Basking Ridge 07920 area, Liberty Corner 07938, and Lyons 07939. Our office is at 1 Clark Ct in Bridgewater, a short drive up I-287, so the inspection, the install, and any follow-up visit come from the same local crew.
The projects homes here most often need are roof replacement on homes whose first or second roof has worn out, vinyl siding replacement on faded original siding, window replacement for builder-grade windows with failed seals, and gutter guards for lots under heavy tree cover.
Homes from the 1980s and 1990s, now due for their next roof
Census estimates put the typical Bernards Township home's construction date in the mid-1980s. An asphalt shingle roof usually lasts 20 to 30 years, which means a large share of houses in the township are on a roof that is at or near the end of its life, often with windows and siding from the same original build.
That timing matters for planning. When the roof, gutters, and siding are all original, doing them in the right order saves money: gutters come down and go back up once, and new drip edge and siding trim are fit to each other instead of patched. If you are unsure what needs attention first, a roof inspection with photos gives you a clear starting point.
Townhome and HOA communities: approvals come first
Bernards Township is home to several large planned communities. The Basking Ridge side of The Hills alone includes roughly 1,900 homes across 16 neighborhoods, and Spring Ridge, Society Hill, Lord Stirling Village, The Cedars, and The Barons add thousands more. Communities like these typically control exterior products and colors, and in some the association, not the owner, is responsible for roofs and siding.
Before we quote a job in an association, we ask you to confirm who owns the work under your governing documents. If an architectural review is required, we provide the manufacturer spec sheets, color names, and a written scope for the submittal. On attached homes we match the shingle line and color to the neighboring units and tie the flashing into the adjoining roof so the row reads as one roof.
Permits are different on attached homes, too. New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code treats replacing the roof covering on a detached one- or two-family home as ordinary maintenance, with no permit required. Attached townhome roofs fall outside that exemption, and replacing rotted decking is structural work, so we confirm requirements with the Bernards Township construction office before work starts.
Older homes in Liberty Corner and Franklin Corners
Bernards Township has two historic districts listed on the State and National Registers: Liberty Corner, centered on Church Street, Lyons Road, and Valley Road, and Franklin Corners, along Hardscrabble and Childs Roads. Many houses in and around these districts, and near the Basking Ridge village center, have wood clapboard, simple gable roofs, and brick chimneys.
On these homes we repair original clapboard and trim where the wood is sound, match the exposure and profile where it is not, and rebuild chimney flashing rather than smearing it with sealant. If you plan to change an exterior material on a home in a historic district, check with the township first. Our siding repair service covers the patch-and-match side of this work.
Wooded lots, leaves, and overflowing gutters
Mature oaks and maples shade a lot of Basking Ridge, and the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge borders the township. Leaves and acorn caps fill gutters every fall, water spills over the eaves and down the siding, and shaded roof slopes stay damp longer. In winter, gutters packed with debris hold snow and ice at the roof edge.
For homes like this we look at the gutter size, the downspout placement, and the tree cover together. Sometimes the answer is gutter replacement with larger downspouts, sometimes it is a guard system, and sometimes a simple cleaning schedule is enough. Request a free estimate and we will walk the property with you.

We used SGM Home Restoration to replace our roof and we can’t recommend Silverio and his team enough. Very honest and reliable, they were on time, no surprises and they did a very profesional job. Totally recommended 👌
Have used SGM Home Restoration & Roofing on many occasions. They were my roofer on two apartment complexes in Flemington and also replaced my roof on my own home. Silverio is wonderful to work with. They are thorough in both their work and clean up. Also their prices were more than 50% lower than the highest bid I received for my home. Would highly recommend getting a bid from this company on your next home repair/improvement.
Silverio and his crew did an amazing Job with our roof. Totally recommended.
The best option. Professional services.
We had a great experience with Silverio from SGM Roofing. He installed a completely new roof on our home in Bridgewater, and we couldn’t be happier! Very punctual, very kind, and transparent from the beginning. He explained everything clearly, gave us a detailed estimate, and kept us updated throughout the whole installation. He finished everything the same day, just as he promised. He also did an amazing job cleaning up afterward. He even used magnets to make sure there were no nails left in our driveway! We are very happy with the work and would 100% recommend Silverio and SGM Home Restoration
