Roofing and chimney work in Bergenfield
Bergenfield is a busy, closely built residential borough in the middle of eastern Bergen County. Its streets are lined with Cape Cods, colonials, ranches and split-levels on modest lots, most of them built from the 1920s through the 1960s, with a commercial strip of flat-roofed storefronts running through the center of town. It is the kind of place where the roofing questions are practical ones: dormers that leak, second layers of shingle, and chimneys that have outlived their original heating system.

Housing in Bergenfield
Bergenfield is primarily single-family, with a large share of homes built between the 1920s and the 1960s. Cape Cods with front or shed dormers are especially common, along with center-hall colonials, ranches and split-levels. Lots are modest and houses sit close together. The main commercial corridor has one- and two-story buildings with flat roofs, and there are some garden apartment complexes.
Weather and exposure
Bergenfield is inland and fairly level, sheltered from the strongest river wind but exposed to the full run of nor'easter rain and wet snow. Mature street trees drop leaves and limbs onto closely spaced roofs, and freeze-thaw cycles each winter work on brick chimneys and on the low-slope dormer roofs found on many capes. Ice dams are a recurring problem on cape attics with limited ventilation.
