Roofing and chimney work in Dumont
Dumont is one of the more densely built residential boroughs in northern Bergen County, a grid of modest single-family homes on small lots. Some streets have 1920s and 1930s houses, and much of the borough filled in during the post-war building boom with ranches, capes and colonials. Many have had additions, rear extensions and finished attics over the years, and that patchwork of old and new roof sections is what most roof repairs here come down to.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Dumont from Cliffside Park. We repair and replace asphalt shingle roofs, handle low-slope sections over additions and the flat roofs on the borough's commercial buildings, and provide full chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Dumont
Dumont is mostly single-family, with homes built from the 1920s through the 1960s on small lots. Ranches, capes and colonials dominate, with some older bungalows and foursquares. Many homes have been expanded with rear additions, dormers or second stories, which often added low-slope roof sections tied into the original roof. Commercial buildings with flat roofs line the main roads.
Weather and exposure
Dumont is inland and fairly level. Street trees and backyard trees shade many roofs and fill gutters each fall, and closely spaced houses mean limited sun on some slopes. Wind-driven rain from nor'easters tests the joints where additions meet the original house. Winters bring freeze-thaw on chimneys and ice dams on poorly ventilated roofs.
