Freehold Township is located in a convenient location at the intersection of Routes 33 and 9, as well as I-95 and I-195. People love living in Freehold because of this proximity, as well as the fact that it isn’t far from the coast either.
As of the 2010 Census, Freehold had a population of about 36,000, an increase of 14.7 percent over the 2000 Census. From 1990 to 2000, the population increased 27.6 percent. The town covers almost 39 square miles, and has almost 13,000 households.
Freehold is a colonial town that was first sighted way back in 1498, and was a major player in early colonial American life.
FUN FACT: The Battle of Monmouth during the Revolutionary War was fought in June 1778 on what is now the preserved Monmouth Battlefield State Park, parts of which are in Freehold.
Families make up the majority of Freehold. People continue to flock there because of Freehold’s shopping areas, its convenience, its amenities such as parks and open spaces, and its good public school system.
Freehold homes have a wide range of shapes, sizes and prices. There are a lot of new construction homes going up that are designed more in the colonial style. There are also older homes that are ranch styles or split-level homes.
Even with this variety of style, the roofs of most Freehold homes are made from asphalt shingles, because they are built to withstand the region’s climate and natural forces. The nice thing about asphalt shingles, though, is Freehold homeowners have ways to customize the look of the roof to give it a unique look because of the different designs and colors available. The three main choices of roof material and style are:
- Strip shingles (or three-tab shingles) that have a flat appearance
- Dimensional shingles (or architectural shingles) that give the roof a multi-dimensional appearance
- Luxury shingles that look like wood shake or slate
The roofs on Freehold homes must be built to withstand the Central New Jersey region’s climate, which experiences temperature fluctuations from hot to cold, and cold to hot. Freehold is far enough away from the coast that it doesn’t have to also deal with the higher winds, sand and salt that comes off the ocean.
The roof is one of the most essential parts of your home, because it keeps you and your family protected from the outside elements. It’s so important to regularly assess the quality and lifespan of your roof, and decide to replace it before it becomes too late.
