Roofing and chimney work in Elmwood Park
Elmwood Park, known as East Paterson until it was renamed, sits on the western edge of Bergen County along the Passaic River, across from Paterson and Clifton. Interstate 80 and the Garden State Parkway pass through it, and the borough combines post-war residential streets of capes, ranches and two-families with garden apartment complexes and a substantial stock of industrial and commercial buildings near the highways and the river.
Asset Roofing & Chimney serves Elmwood Park from Cliffside Park. We repair and replace shingle roofs on homes, flat roofs on two-families, garden apartments and commercial and industrial buildings, and provide full chimney service. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
Housing in Elmwood Park
Much of the residential housing in Elmwood Park dates from the 1940s through the 1960s: Cape Cods, ranches, split-levels and two-family houses on modest lots, with some older homes and later construction mixed in. Garden apartment complexes with low-slope or flat roofs are a significant part of the housing stock. Industrial, warehouse and commercial buildings with large flat roofs are concentrated near the highways and the river.
Weather and exposure
The borough borders the Passaic River, and low-lying areas near the river have a history of flooding during major storms. That means damp conditions, high humidity and chimney bases and lower masonry that can stay wet. Highway corridors leave some buildings more open to wind. Street trees shade many residential roofs, and freeze-thaw cycles each winter work on chimneys and flat-roof seams.
