Roofing and chimney work in East Rutherford
East Rutherford is best known as the home of the Meadowlands Sports Complex, but away from the stadium the borough is an older, closely built residential town. Its neighborhoods on the higher ground near the Passaic River side of town are lined with early twentieth-century frame houses and two-families on narrow lots, and the eastern part of the borough runs out into the Meadowlands, where warehouses, offices and commercial buildings sit under large flat roofs.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves East Rutherford from Cliffside Park, across the Meadowlands. We repair and replace shingle and flat roofs on homes and two-families, handle commercial flat roofing, and provide full chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in East Rutherford
East Rutherford's residential housing is mostly older: frame single-family homes and two-family houses from the late 1800s through the mid-twentieth century on narrow lots, many with front porches, plus some post-war homes and small apartment buildings. Two-families here often have low-slope or flat rear roof sections and shared multi-flue chimneys. The commercial and Meadowlands side of the borough has warehouses, offices, retail and hospitality buildings with large flat roofs.
Weather and exposure
The borough sits between the Passaic River and the open Meadowlands. The eastern side is low, flat and exposed, so wind crosses it with little shelter, and flooding and humidity are recurring concerns in low-lying areas. The older residential blocks are more sheltered, with street trees and close-set houses, but freeze-thaw cycles each winter are hard on their aging brick chimneys and porch roofs.
