Replacing Siding or Windows in New Jersey: What I’d Want to Know Before I Spend the Money

By Tiffany Slowinski

There are few home projects less exciting to spend money on than windows you already have.

At least with a new kitchen, you get to stare at something pretty when it is over.

With windows, the dream is basically that they open, close, keep the weather outside and stop making the room next to them feel 12 degrees colder than the rest of the house.

Siding is slightly more fun because it can completely change how your house looks. It is also the kind of project where one estimate turns into a conversation about house wrap, trim, insulation, flashing and five other things I did not know I was supposed to have an opinion about.

I do not want to become an expert in siding or windows.

I want to know enough to make a smart decision.

Do I actually need to replace this?

This would be my first question.

A drafty room does not automatically mean every window in the house needs to go. Siding that looks tired does not necessarily mean the entire exterior has failed.

Before someone gives me a giant replacement number, I want to know what is actually wrong.

Can it be repaired? Is the problem the window itself, the installation around it or something else? Is the siding damaged or do I just hate the color?

There is a big difference between “this needs to be replaced” and “if you are planning to stay here another 15 years, this is probably the right time to replace it.”

I want the person who can explain that difference.

If I replace the windows, what am I actually buying?

Window shopping gets technical very quickly.

There are different materials, glass packages, styles, manufacturers and installation methods. Then everyone starts talking about efficiency ratings and suddenly I am pretending I know what all of the numbers mean.

I do not.

What I actually care about is much simpler.

Will these windows make the house more comfortable? Will they be easier to open and clean? Will they reduce drafts? Will they look right with the house? What maintenance will they need? How long should I reasonably expect them to last?

And I want to understand exactly what is being replaced.

Is the contractor installing a replacement window into the existing frame, or removing everything and doing a full-frame replacement? Why are they recommending one over the other for my house?

That answer matters a lot more to me than a brochure with 14 performance charts.

Will the new siding make my house look better or just newer?

This is probably the question women are actually asking.

Because technically new siding can be perfectly good and still make a beautiful house look cheap.

I would want to see completed homes that are similar to mine.

Not one perfect manufacturer photo.

Actual houses.

Show me the trim around the windows. Show me the corners. Show me how you handled the front entry, soffits and architectural details. Show me what the house looks like from the street when everything is finished.

The siding itself is only part of what you are looking at.

The details are what make the house feel polished instead of wrapped in plastic.

Vinyl, fiber cement, wood or something else?

This is where I want someone to ask me questions before giving me an answer.

How much maintenance am I willing to do?

How long do I expect to stay in the house?

What style is the house?

What does the neighborhood look like?

How important is the exact color or texture to me?

There is not one siding material that automatically makes sense for every house.

I would be suspicious of anyone who recommends the same thing before they have even looked at mine.

Should I do the siding and windows at the same time?

Maybe.

If both projects are coming soon anyway, there can be practical reasons to coordinate them. The window trim, flashing and siding all meet in the same places.

That does not mean I am signing up for a second major project because somebody tells me it is “easier while we are here.”

Show me why.

What gets done differently if I do them together? What would have to be redone later if I separate them? Is there an actual savings or just convenience?

If doing both makes sense, great.

I just want the math and the reasoning before we turn one project into two.

What happens when you take the old siding off?

This would be high on my list because houses have a funny habit of hiding expensive things.

What happens if you find rot?

What if the sheathing underneath needs repair?

What if the house wrap is missing or damaged?

Is any of that included in the quote? If not, how will additional work be priced?

I am fine with the reality that nobody can see through my walls.

I am less fine with a vague contract followed by a series of surprises once half the house is exposed.

Tell me what you can know now and what could reasonably change later.

Who is actually doing the work?

This is one I would ask directly.

Is the crew working on my house employed by the company I hired or subcontracted?

If it is subcontracted, that is not automatically a problem.

I just want to know.

Who supervises the job? Who do I call if something does not look right? Who is responsible for the workmanship warranty after the project is finished?

Your salesperson may be wonderful.

They are probably not the person who will be standing on the ladder outside your bedroom window.

Is the contractor actually registered in New Jersey?

This sounds basic, but it is worth checking.

Siding and window contractors in New Jersey are home improvement contractor businesses. The state requires them to register, and the registration number begins with 13VH.

That is a registration, not a trade license or a test of how talented someone is.

Still, I want the company doing a major exterior project on my house to exist in the state record.

One thing we found while researching this guide is that the name on a contractor’s website does not always match the legal business name in the state database. The office town can be different too.

That does not automatically mean anything is wrong.

It does mean Googling a company name is not always enough to verify it.

That is why we did it for you.

If my house was built before 1978, I would ask one more question

A lot of homes in and around Basking Ridge are older.

Federal lead-safe renovation rules apply when siding or window replacement disturbs painted surfaces on homes built before 1978.

I am not asking the homeowner to become an expert in federal regulations either.

I would simply ask the contractor: Is my house old enough for the lead-safe rule to apply, and does your company have the certification required for this work?

That is a much better question to ask before the siding comes off.

What exactly is included in this quote?

This is where I slow down.

What product line are you installing?

What trim is included?

What happens around windows and doors?

Is removal and disposal of the old material included?

Who handles permits if they are needed?

What is the workmanship warranty?

What does the manufacturer warranty cover?

What could cost extra once the project begins?

If two estimates are $15,000 apart, I want to know why.

Sometimes one contractor is more expensive.

Sometimes the two contractors are not actually quoting the same job.

Those are very different things.

I care a lot about how someone explains all of this

This is probably my biggest test with any contractor.

Can you explain what my house needs without making me feel like an idiot?

Can you tell me what matters and what is optional?

Can you say, “You do not need to spend money on that right now”?

That last one earns a lot of trust with me.

I do not need the cheapest person.

I want the person whose explanation makes sense.

So how do you narrow down the list?

That is why Garden State Circle built this guide differently.

The guide currently includes 20 companies.

We show you the company name, where it says it is located, what services it publishes and what the state registration actually says.

We are not ranking them.

A state registration cannot tell you whether someone will do beautiful work. A five-star review cannot tell you whether they are the right contractor for your particular house.

What we can do is give you a much better place to start.

Because if I am spending this much money on the outside of my house, I want more than a pretty website and a yard sign.

I want to know who I am hiring, what they are actually proposing and why it makes sense for my house.

The Guide: Siding and Window Contractors in the Somerset Hills, NJ

Every siding and window contractor in the Somerset Hills, with “Services”, “Registration, as published on their own site” and “Registered to, and where the state has it” for each, checked September 2026.

See the Businesses

Siding and windows are one job more often than they are two. The crew that strips a wall to the sheathing is the crew best placed to reset the openings while the wall is open, and most of the companies serving these towns sell both for that reason. So this guide covers both, and it separates out at the end the two businesses here that do windows and glass without doing siding at all.

New Jersey does not license siding or window installers. It registers them, as Home Improvement Contractors, under the number that begins 13VH — a record that requires commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence and a written contract for any job over $500. Eight of the twenty-two companies in this guide publish that number on their own website. This guide prints what each company publishes, and next to it what the state record actually says: the legal entity the registration belongs to, and the town the state has on file. Those two things differ from the name and town on the website more often than anyone would guess.

The One Certification Almost Nobody in This Guide Publishes

There is a federal rule that applies to nearly every siding and window job in these five towns, and exactly one company in this guide says anything about it.

The EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting rule requires that any firm disturbing painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 be certified by the EPA as a Lead-Safe firm, and that the work be led by a certified renovator using contained work practices. Siding tear-off disturbs painted surfaces by definition. So does pulling a window out of a painted frame. The rule is not advisory, it is not a manufacturer programme, and it is not satisfied by a 13VH registration — it is a separate federal certification with its own firm number, and a contractor working without it on a pre-1978 house is working outside the rule.

Much of the housing in Bernardsville, Bernards Township (Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons), Far Hills, Bedminster (Pluckemin) and Peapack-Gladstone predates 1978 comfortably. You can check your own house in about a minute: the year built is on your municipal tax assessment record.

Proven Contracting is the only company in this guide that publishes EPA Lead-Safe firm certification. That is a statement about twenty websites, not about twenty companies — a firm can hold the certification and never mention it, and many do. But it is a fair thing to ask for by name, and the answer should be a firm certification number, not a reassurance.

We have asked every company in this guide for theirs. Proven Contracting answered with a number: NAT-F124892-3. That is what a real answer to this question looks like, and it is now printed against their name in the table above. Every other certification on this page is checkable at the issuing manufacturer, and this one is checkable at the EPA. The remaining answers will be published here as they arrive.

Kepo Siding & Windows works from Hillsborough, offers a lifetime transferable warranty on every window it installs, and has received James Hardie’s President’s Award. Registration 13VH03778400 is active and recorded in Hillsborough. Its site now publishes roofing and gutters under their own heading, saying its teams have been “repairing and replacing roofs across NJ for years”; it was added to our roofing guide for these towns on September 3, 2026, and this entry was corrected the same day.

Levs Construction, Somerville

Levs Construction is a family-owned, woman-led company working from West Cliff Street in Somerville since 2005, and states that it uses no subcontractors — every installation is handled by its own in-house crew.

Registration 13VH00674000 is active and recorded in Bridgewater.

Matute Roofing, Wayne

Matute Roofing publishes an address on Galesi Drive in Wayne and installs siding, windows and doors alongside its roofing work, listing twenty-one Somerset County municipalities by name in its service area including all five towns this guide covers. Registration 13VH10366000 is active and recorded in Towaco. Its published certifications are in roofing rather than siding or windows.

New Jersey Siding & Windows, Randolph

New Jersey Siding & Windows works from Sussex Turnpike in Randolph, carries thirteen siding and window brands, and offers a lifetime transferable warranty on its installations — the broadest published brand selection in this guide. It publishes its registration number, 13VH03088700, which is active and recorded in Randolph.

Novalis Roofing & Siding, Florham Park

Novalis Roofing & Siding has been family-owned since 1940 and is now run by its third generation; the company is a James Hardie Preferred Installer, an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor and a CertainTeed ShingleMaster. Crews arrive on site by 8am, and the company walks the property with magnets at completion to collect leftover fasteners. It publishes registration 13VH09496600, active and recorded in Florham Park. Its service-area pages name Bernardsville, Bedminster, Far Hills and Peapack-Gladstone; Basking Ridge is not among them.

Proven Contracting, Bridgewater

Proven Contracting works from Thruway Drive in Bridgewater, holds James Hardie certification, GAF Master Elite and Tamko Diamond standing, and is the only company in this guide holding EPA Lead-Safe firm certification we have been able to record — firm number NAT-F124892-3, supplied by the company in September 2026. The company states that a standard single-family siding replacement takes two to five days from demolition to completion, and told us directly that it will quote small repairs rather than replacements only. It publishes registration 13VH08608400, which is active and recorded in Livingston — one of four New Jersey offices the company lists, alongside Bridgewater, Randolph and Long Valley.

Reisch Roofing & Construction, Pompton Plains

Reisch Roofing & Construction works from Sunset Road in Pompton Plains and handles replacement siding and siding repair alongside residential and commercial roofing and storm damage work. Registration 13VH09822200 is active and recorded in Pompton Plains — one of the companies here where the published town and the registered town agree exactly. It publishes no siding certification tier.

Superior Siding & Windows, Rockaway

Superior Siding & Windows has been family-owned since 1992 and installs Alside composite, vinyl and cedar siding alongside ProVia and Marvin windows. The company states it keeps the same crew on a project from start to finish rather than subcontracting the work out. Registration 13VH01107800 is active and recorded in Rockaway. It publishes no street address and no registration number, and its published contact address is a Gmail account.

Times Siding and Windows, Branchburg

Times Siding and Windows has installed siding, replacement windows and doors from Branchburg since 1981, and its service-area pages name Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, Bedminster, Far Hills, Peapack, Gladstone, Liberty Corner, Lyons and Pluckemin among the Somerset County towns it covers. Andersen, CertainTeed, MI Windows and Therma-Tru are among the brands it lists. The number on its site, 13VH00908100, belongs to the earlier Times Siding Inc; the registration the state currently records as active is 13VH11145700, held by TIMES SIDING AND WINDOWS LLC and recorded in Somerset. Both are in the table. Added to this guide on September 5, 2026.

W.C. Construction, Bridgewater

W.C. Construction works from Washington Valley Road in Bridgewater and publishes its registration, 13VH10064100, on its own site; the state records it as active in Bridgewater. Its siding page offers a fifteen-year warranty on labour and names ProVia among its credentials alongside GAF Certified and CertainTeed Master Shingle. Its own pages give its tenure two ways — “over a decade” on the home page and “over 30 years” on the siding page — so we quote both rather than choose.

Specialised Window and Glass Contractors

These two businesses install windows or glass and do not offer siding. They are separated for that reason and for no other, and it is the same split the search engines draw themselves when asked about this category in these towns.

Basking Ridge Glass and Mirror, Basking Ridge

Basking Ridge Glass and Mirror has operated from South Finley Avenue in the centre of Basking Ridge since 1997, handling window replacement, custom glass and frameless shower enclosures. It is the only business in this guide with a retail storefront inside the five towns. It publishes no registration number, and we did not find a registration under this name in September 2026. It does no siding and no roofing.

Monk’s Home Improvements, Bernardsville

Monk’s Home Improvements works from an office in Bernardsville with showrooms in Morristown and Fanwood, and handles window and door replacement as part of interior and exterior remodeling. The company is owned by Ty Monk and Steve Brink and publishes its New Jersey registration, 13VH03615000, which is active and recorded in Bernardsville. It publishes no siding or roofing service.

The Question This Table Cannot Answer Yet

Every company here will quote a whole-house siding job or a full window package. Far fewer will come out for one rotted corner board, three courses of storm-damaged siding, or a single failed sash — and no website in this trade answers that honestly, because there is no commercial reason to. For a lot of homeowners it is the only question that matters.

We are asking it directly, company by company, along with each firm’s EPA Lead-Safe certification number, and the answers will be published here as they arrive. The first has landed: Proven Contracting told us plainly that yes, they do small repairs. That answer is in their entry below, and every other company on this page has been asked the same question. If you have called a siding or window company in these towns about a small job, we would like to know what happened — whether they came, how long they took, and whether they quoted the repair or only a replacement. Write to admin@gardenstatecircle.com. Reader answers will fill that column, and they are worth more than anything a website says about itself.

Common Questions

Does a siding or window installer in New Jersey need a license?

Not a trade license. New Jersey does not examine siding or window installers the way it examines electricians, plumbers and heating contractors. What it requires is registration as a Home Improvement Contractor under the Contractors’ Registration Act — the 13VH number — plus commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per occurrence and a written contract for any job over $500.

What should a siding contract actually say?

Four things are worth checking before signing, and all four are routinely left vague: whether tear-off and disposal of the old siding is included or extra; whether a weather-resistive barrier or house wrap is being installed behind the new siding; how rotted sheathing is priced if it is found once the wall is open; and whether the crew is the company’s own or a subcontractor’s. The third is where most siding jobs actually change price, so agree the per-sheet rate in writing before the wall comes off.

Is my house old enough for the lead rule to apply?

If it was built before 1978, yes, and in these towns that covers a great deal of the housing stock. The year built is on your municipal tax assessment record. Ask any contractor quoting a tear-off or a window replacement for their EPA Lead-Safe firm certification number, and expect a number rather than a reassurance.

Why does the registered name not match the company name?

Because registration attaches to a legal entity and trading names are free to differ from it. A company that was renamed, that was acquired, or that operates a brand distinct from the corporation behind it will show a registered name that looks unfamiliar. It is normal, and it is why searching the state registry for the name on your estimate often returns nothing at all.

What does a manufacturer certification actually get me?

The long warranties. James Hardie Elite Preferred, ProVia certification and the equivalent tiers in the shingle programmes require installation training and insurance, are awarded by the manufacturer rather than the contractor, and are what makes the extended product-and-labour warranties available at all. A non-certified installer can install the same board and you will not be able to buy the same warranty on it. Every one of these is checkable in the manufacturer’s own contractor directory, independently of the contractor.

Who Governs Siding and Window Work in the Somerset Hills, NJ

Siding and window work in New Jersey answers to two state agencies with confusingly similar names, and they do different things. The registration — the 13VH number in the table above — is issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs, Regulated Business Section — (973) 504-6370 — which is where the registration check described above is run. The permit belongs to the Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23, written by the Department of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards — (609) 292-7899 — and enforced by each municipality’s own construction office, listed below. New Jersey adopted the 2024 editions of its construction subcodes on August 17, 2026; the one- and two-family dwelling subcode is the International Residential Code 2024, New Jersey edition (N.J.A.C. 5:23-3.21), and the energy subcode is the International Energy Conservation Code 2024 (N.J.A.C. 5:23-3.18), per the Division’s current-codes table, read September 2, 2026.

Municipality	Construction permit office, as the town names it	Phone	Construction Official, as published	Hours, as published
Bernards Township (Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons)	Construction Code Division	(908) 204-3172	Dennis Bettler	Mon–Fri 7:00am–3:00pm
Bernardsville	Construction Department	908-766-3000	Jeffrey Heiss	Mon–Fri 8:30am–4:30pm
Bedminster (Pluckemin)	Construction & Code Enforcement	(908) 212-7000 ext. 422	Vincent Tamburri	Town Hall Mon–Fri 8:00am–4:00pm
Far Hills	Construction Department	908.234.0611 ext. 11	Stephen Mahoney	By appointment
Peapack-Gladstone	Not found by us	Not found by us	Not found by us	Not found by us

Every office above was opened and read on September 2, 2026. Names are published only where the municipality publishes them.

Four municipalities, four offices, and they do not keep the same hours: Bernards Township’s Construction Code Division opens at 7:00am and stops taking applications at 3:00pm, Bernardsville’s runs 8:30 to 4:30, Bedminster’s town hall 8:00 to 4:00, and Far Hills sees people by appointment. Basking Ridge is not a municipality — it is a section of Bernards Township, and its permits come from the Bernards office on South Maple Avenue, not from the municipal building on Collyer Lane. Far Hills states the sequence on its own page: a zoning permit must be obtained before a construction permit is submitted. Three of the four offices share subcode officials — the same electrical subcode official serves Bernards, Bernardsville and Far Hills — which is normal for small boroughs and is why an inspector may be in only one of them on a given day.

Fee schedules are adopted by ordinance and change. Whether a particular job needs a permit is interpreted by the town’s own construction office, not by us. We publish what each municipality published, with the date we checked it — confirm with the office before you rely on it, and if any of it has changed, the correction address at the foot of this page is the fastest way to tell us.

Companies appear here because they meet the criterion described above — they install or replace residential siding or windows for homeowners in the towns this guide covers. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No company can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Companies are listed alphabetically, and every detail in the table was verified against each company’s own website and against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs registrant record in September 2026.

Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Where a sponsor’s message appears above that heading, it is paid for and labelled, and it buys nothing in the guide. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says.

Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Bernardsville, Bernards Township (Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons), Far Hills, Bedminster (Pluckemin) and Peapack-Gladstone.

How We Selected These Companies

This guide covers five towns: Bernardsville, Bernards Township (Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons), Far Hills, Bedminster (Pluckemin) and Peapack-Gladstone.

A company appears here if it installs or replaces residential siding, windows or both for homeowners in those towns. That is the whole test. It is not a test of size, price, longevity or our opinion of the work, and a company does not need to publish a registration number to be included — a page listing only the companies that publish their credentials would be a guide to marketing habits rather than to contractors.

What a company publishes is not the criterion. It is the content. Where a business publishes a number, a brand or a certification, this guide prints it and reports what the independent record says. Where a business publishes nothing, this guide says so plainly and dates the statement. Neither is praise nor criticism. Both are facts about a website on a particular day, and a homeowner comparing twenty-two companies has no practical way to assemble them.

The real work this test does in this category is separating operating contractors from lead-generation sites. A page of service-area landing pages with no premises, no registration and no named person is not a list of contractors, and several businesses that rank well for these towns are exactly that. They are not here.

Which of These Companies Is Actually in These Towns

Homeowners asking whether a siding company is “local” usually mean something more specific than geography: will they come back. Siding and window work carries long warranties — twenty-five years, fifty years, lifetime and transferable — and a warranty is worth what the company behind it is worth in year twelve. Where the office sits is a weak proxy for that, but it is the one thing that can actually be checked, so here it is.

Two companies in this guide are based inside the five towns and publish a location to prove it. Basking Ridge Glass and Mirror has operated from South Finley Avenue in the centre of Basking Ridge since 1997. Monk’s Home Improvements works from an office in Bernardsville, with showrooms in Morristown and Fanwood. Basking Ridge GSC Roofing and Siding and Father Sons Construction both give Basking Ridge as their town but publish no street address at all, and we did not find a state registration for either under the names they trade under — which does not mean they hold none, only that a registration held under an owner’s name or a different legal entity would not surface in the searches we ran.

The nearest premises outside the five towns is Creo Construction Services, on Division Avenue in Millington, about six minutes from the centre of Basking Ridge. After that the guide widens: Somerville, Bridgewater, Branchburg and Hillsborough in Somerset County, then Chester, Lebanon, Florham Park, Randolph, Rockaway, Livingston, Union, Towaco, Pompton Plains and Hillsdale.

That is normal, and it is not a mark against anybody. What it does mean is that in these five towns, “local siding company” is doing very little work as a search term, because there is very little here to be local to. The question worth substituting for it is a harder one: who owns your warranty if the company is sold, and does the crew on your house work for the company or for a subcontractor. Two companies in this guide answer the second question in writing without being asked.

A Note on Reading the Registration Column

Eight of the twenty-two companies here publish a New Jersey registration number on their own website. On its own that is only mildly interesting. The reason the column was split in two is what sits beside it.

The registered name is often not the trading name. Bellari Home Remodeling’s registration is held by Somerville Aluminum Co., Inc. — the name the company traded under for decades before it was Bellari. American Home Contractors is registered as American Home Energy, Inc. Proven Contracting is registered as Proven Contracting.com LLC, with the dot-com inside the legal name. Hunterdon Roofing, Siding & Window Company is registered as Hunterdon Siding & Window Company LLC. Levs Construction is registered as Lev’s Construction, with an apostrophe and no LLC. Every one of those is lawful and ordinary, and every one of them is invisible to a homeowner typing a company name into the state’s search box — which returns nothing, because the search matches the registered name from its first characters and not the name on the estimate.

The registered town is often not the published town. Three companies here publish an address in one town and are registered in another: Garden State Home Exteriors publishes Hillsdale and is registered in Wyckoff; Matute Roofing publishes Wayne and is registered in Towaco; and on our companion roofing guide, Panther Contracting publishes a Basking Ridge address and is registered in Lebanon. A registered office and an operating office are different things, and a company is entitled to both. But a registry match is not really a match until the town matches too.

One company publishes the wrong state’s number. Hunterdon Roofing, Siding & Window Company displays a Pennsylvania registration, PA161132, and no New Jersey one. It holds an active New Jersey registration, 13VH00209500, in Lebanon. A homeowner checking the published number against New Jersey’s registry would find nothing and could draw entirely the wrong conclusion about a third-generation company trading since 1974.

How to check a registration yourself

Search the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licensee verification for Home Improvement Contractors, using the business search rather than the individual one. Search by the 13VH number if you have it, or by the beginning of the registered name — the name search matches from the start of the name, so a partial word at the front works and a word from the middle does not. The result gives the registered entity, the number, the status and the town, and it is free.

Something out of date?

This guide is maintained. If anything here is wrong or has changed — a name, an address, a registration number, a certification tier, or whether a business has closed — tell us and we will check it. Businesses listed here are welcome to write in directly, and a company that publishes a registration number we have recorded as absent is exactly the kind of correction we want.

And if you run a siding or window company that should be on this list and is not, write to us. We would rather be told than be incomplete. The test is the same one every company here cleared: that you install or replace residential siding or windows for homeowners in Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, Bedminster, Far Hills or Peapack-Gladstone. A permit pulled in one of those townships, a completed job, or your registration will do it. Show us that and you go on the page.
